What went wrong?

Nobody gives a shit

>>87065140

I'm honestly surprised any awards show continue to exist. I honestly don't know why you would watch a 4 hour show for a list of bullet points that can be read in 30 seconds, and not miss anything relevant. At least the Oscars have the benefit of being on an actual network as opposed to MTV.

Genuinely curious since I'm out of touch with the youth. Does anyone even care about mainstream music pop culture anymore other than blacks, teen girls, and black teen girls?

It seems to me that with the Internet music tastes have fractured and old media outlets are no longer the tastemakers they once were. All that's left is sucking every ounce of attention and money Beyonce can produce hoping against hope the well never runs dry.

Who's even going? Taylor Swift? Who fucking cares?

>>87065595
find something that shouldn't exist anymore and you'll also find teenage girls and old people are the main people supporting it

MTV doesn't play a SINGLE music video, ever, anymore.

It's literally Teen Moms and Catfish 24/7.

MTV is no longer culturally relevant or music relevant.

>>87065810
I assume this shit is just determined by word of mouth through the internet now.

>>87065661

This. I don't know if it's the fact that I'm older now or if the internet really has fucked the way the music scene works on a fundamental level. I remember back in high school everyone liked Linkin Park and girls like boy bands. I don't know what the kids like anymore. Even Bieber is basically a relic and that was well after my time.

That aside MTV is failing because the internet has been a thing now for a while and all they show beyond that is the absolute worst bottom barrel reality television garbage.

Are the literally retarded or does MTV air in other countries like the Indonesia? The tobacco industry is dead here in the US outside of the deep, deep South.

>>87065861
MTV did have some good non-music programming in the 90s/early-00s -- Beavis and Butthead, Daria, Sifl & Olly, FEAR -- I loved FEAR; I rewatch episodes in October -- and some more.

But, it's shifted so far from music, that it's not even worth being called MTV OR having VMAs.

Entertainment is fundamentally changing.

I remember when I recorded Evanescence videos and watched Counter Strike tournaments on MTV. it was so cool. this channel died in 2004

>>87066305
It was Anti-Tobacco which they are on a crusade about for some reason.

>>87066227
jackass and wildboyz were pretty much the only things worth watching on mtv when they were airing, i can't remember anything else worth a shit on mtv during that time, just a bunch of fucking reality tv shows for airhead teen girls

The biggest artists in music stopped going to it. The same thing is happening to the grammys. Yes the VMAs were always shit but it was hands down the only place where wildly popular artists from all forms of music would get together and you'd see shit happen.

When it's come to the point where Drake is at an English Music Festival instead. Taylor drops a video during its airing and doesn't go to it, The Weeknd doesn't go to it because doesn't feel like it even though he's scheduled to fucking perform. Kendrick only being there because you gave him like 5 awards as well as perform. And No Kanye.

The VMAs used to have fucking moments. They stopped letting the artists get totally shitfaced at the awards show (which they used to it was an open secret that half the audience would be drunk) because of the Kanye Taylor shit.

Generation Z is the meme generation

Like the comments before me stated, it's shocking that MTV still exists. I'm from a third-world country and everyone here finds music (our most famous genres are limited to this country) through friends, snapchat groups, twitter, youtube and a big site to download mp3 where the artists post their work.

>>87068111
Generation Z is the cuck generation. They all would rather watch someone do something rather than do it themselves. From watching someone play videogames, to watching people fuck even just watching other people eat.

Why was Ellen even there? Wasn't mtv supposed to be edgy and current? Let's tribute gay milquetoast Oprah 2.0. She's there because she probably peddles some gay youth charity. What else was there, a suicide prevention song tribute and a condemnation of white supremacy.

Too much SJW, I think its allowable and even I think it went too far, when they had the Robert Lee decendent apologize for white people, that was disgusting.
Katy Perry had too many cringey lines

The one less obvious thing was how confusing it was to older viewers.

So they'd say 'Artist--Song' and if you weren't aware it would make you think the artist was the song, then you had to mentally adjust but since everyone is so bizarre it was hard for your brain. I am a Gen X nostalgic for MTV so decided to watch and that is my old person opinion.They will also never show the video.

They showed about 10% of the video in question so nobody could know if these videos were good quality or not...I think most of them were at mansions? So that's good?

Several years ago I was called by a phone survey from MTV's marketing department, trying to get a fix on what would persuade me to watch MTV. I said if they actually played music videos I would watch it almost constantly, I would pretty much just leave it on in the background. The girl agreed but said that it wasn't an option: the choices were various fraudality shows with irritatingly stupid premises.
What we are seeing across the board in dinosaur mass media is the third generation that cannot retain the family wealth, like in the Chinese proverb. These people just don't know what they're doing.

I'd honestly almost say yes. Heck, the only legit winner of that whole thing was a Gen X black guy. That said, its unfair to blame millennials because I don't think they literally run the shows yet? Its probably majority X and Boomers have all the money and Millennials are the actual people who look pretty.

It is undeniable that awards shows went to shit once millennials went on social media and forced all this stuff on us by popular demand.

>>87070188

Well, it's not that I ever gave them a ton of credence but before the internet got huge I'd usually use them as a sort of guide to your better than normal movie. Serious shit basically.

Worked fairly well. I'd say 2008 was the last year it really fucking worked. No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood. Both swept and both were amazing movies. Didn't see them initially in theaters but they deserved every accolade. It was a hit and miss system before the internet really swept up into the whole youtube review shit.

There is no safe harbor anymore. Everything is a one hit wonder. Everything is a meme. It's not sociopolitical matter at all. It's the endless brainstorm of the Internet. Literature and television/movies are safe from this. Music has always been a frail thing.

A lot of lesbian comedians tend to have those qualities early on anon, it's how they compensate for being women, it's why they try and act and look like men. She hasn't had it that hard either, she wouldn't be in that top spot otherwise, she fits the medias current ideal as their darling.

It's not like the film industry where coming out as a dyke for more recognition gets you rightfully destroyed for being an obnoxious entity, see Ellen Page, she's been relegated to that leftist rag Vice.

I mean without the Oscars we'd never see Amy Adams almost fucking topless with her huge mommy jugbos hanging out. It feels like we are almost toward the point of hoping they cancel The Oscars and I just can't agree, its one of the biggest cultural events of the year and belongs as a once a year celebration of film.

Music has gone to shit today.

This is the problem that we as Americans face in the music industry! A disease! We have to remove the herd, and we have to do it quick before the cuckoldry and brainwashing gets to our children! This is a fucking war. And we have to fight this war... or else.

Every single day I've been trying to preach the message to the mindless, brainless pigs of society, or what some may call, the "majority". Americans have been so blindsided by the thin-skinned idealism of racial equality, moral relativism, anti-freespeech, anti-leadership bullshit. As a proud atheist, a savant with a particularly high IQ, an intellectual with the vigor in exploring the psyche of the human existence, and a, self-taught, well-educated individual in political and cultural relationships of the global scale, I have seen so many things that the deluded American liberal has been so ignorant towards, so much to the point that the idea of a helping hand deems itself futile. America turned itself into a cuckold safe space SJW hellhole, brainwashing our children into whoring themselves to niggers on the street. Chinks and those subhuman jungle gooks have taken over the jobs that we rightly deserve. Indian street shitters have taken over our businesses with their stench poisoning the American people and their opportunities for growth and success as white people. And lastly, it was the kikes that caused all this chaos proving well the definite downfall of the American society. And I, knowing well my foes, stand proud for my country and my race, and I will fight until every millimeter of my blood boils.

For decades they've focused younger and younger so that their audience has whittled down to brainlets: preteen girls and negroes. I've also read that music companies are focusing on pop singers and "rappers" because they're relatively cheap versus having to pay entire bands.

Taylor Swift didn't even show up, btw. The VMAs had no star power.

It has nothing to do with blacks or degeneracy or whatever the fuck, it's because people don't need to watch MTV to see music videos anymore, which is what built the channel in the first place.

people don't have to just watch absolutely lowest common denominator shit. when these media ((outlets)) were in their prime, someone in a small town would have a handful of relatively mainstream media choices, a small handful of slightly alternative ones, etc. nowadays you can find something exactly to your specific taste in seconds, for the most part. of course, some people have no opinions whatsoever and some are still too dumb to do so, which is why SOME people still watch this kind of shit, but their numbers are on the decline.

For fuck's sake, I thought this was Miley Cyrus since the very first moment I saw her.
It just dawned on me it's fucking Katy Perry.
I literally understand everything now.

It has everything to do with Jew degeneracy.

Everything they touch is failing. People are sick of it.

I feel like a fucking dinosaur watching that Lorde awkwardly dancing clip. Not only was her "performance" bad, but the empty-faced teenage girls in the audience barely even know what to do.
Contrast that with the VMA's from 15 years ago and it's hardly a comparison at all.
I'm only 24, but I feel a weird sense of accomplishment that at least I didn't fuck up enough to actually pay attention to mainstream shit. I might be biter and miserable all the time, but fuck it- I'm glad I don't have a single friend to mention something as vapid as the VMA's to me in casual conversation.

Also, yes- blacks were the best things to happen to music last century, but now they're the worst. And fuck teenage girls. They ruin everything.

>MUH JEWS, SJWS, etc

It actually has nothing to do with that shit, and way more with the fact that it's an antiquated unsustainable medium. The age group that has always been the primary target of MTV (teens and young adults) have grown up with the internet, most of them don't remember a pre-Youtube world. Because of this watching music videos has always been a matter of a few clicks whenever the hell they feel like it for them. They've had no reason to ever care about MTV.

In fact all the retarded SJW trash MTV does on Youtube now seems to be a last-ditch effort to attract those aforementioned young crowds that don't give a shit about them by playing into their retarded world views. It's not working.

MTV could easily jump over to digital distribution. It's just going full bore with the sjw bullshit ensured that they get no audience outside of the NPC audience

Bitch we subsidize inferior races. All it would take is an even playing field for them to wash down the drain.

>>87074805
seriously, this sub is so fucking pathetic. Everything has to be tied to their grand image board narratives. MTV hasn't been culturally relevant for more than 20 years, who the fuck needs a channel to watch music videos when people have the internet?

>I wish Toonami was just its own network at this point.

I agree, but they can barely keep the paltry Saturday night block they already have alive at this point. I would love to watch it, but it's on when either I'm working, or I'm doing something else with my weekend.

>We hate Nazis, look how good we are
Congrats on agreeing with 99% of the country, dont need to brag about it on an award show

>>87071110
Yeah, I feel you. I feel like there was a period of unbridled creativity that started somewhere in the late 60s, and ran through until somewhere in the mid-00s, and then ran face first into a brick wall.

>>87071434
Jackass and Wildboyz was the only think that kept me watching in the 00s.
