End of an era

>>215214671 (OP)
I don't think even uncs care anymore. Only thing I ever saw of any value from mtv was their liquid television kinos.

It ended 20 years ago, tbqh.
I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

>>215214671 (OP)
YouTube killed MTV 20 years ago.

>>215214671 (OP)
I thought MTV stopped playing music in the 90's

How does that even happen? Why couldn't they just play music videos, or even underground shit?

This was 15 years ago.

Does anyone under like 35 even have fond memories of anything MTV related? It has been nothing but reality tv reruns for decades at this point

things will not stop getting worse

In England....

The iconic music TV channel is closing five stations in the UK, including MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV and MTV Live, according to the BBC. These channels will go dark after Dec. 31, 2025.

Its flagship channel MTV HD will remain available in the region, though it mainly airs reality shows like “Teen Mom” and “Geordie Shore,” not music videos.

>The company is expected to close MTV music channels in Australia, Poland, France and Brazil, according to local media in these countries.

The Skydance merger. Time to shut down and write off.

pretty much all of this. If anyone cared about "muh music videos", they'd have watched them to begin with. Now? You can watch whatever you want on demand regardless of when they came out. There's literally no purposed for a "Music Television" anymore.

Why not just simulcast MTV channel on cable and YouTube at the same time. Maybe even on Twitch as well?

Mid 40s so this hurts me a little bit. Most of you have no idea the cultural impact this shit had. It wasn't just music videos, but the specific music centric shows (like Yo MTV Raps, 120 Minutes, etc), the live performances (Unplugged and whatnot), Spring Break, etc.

>>215214742
Before America turned to Christfag MTV sexualised teenagers. It was great.

It still shocks me that they even care to do the VMAs. They even put it on CBS instead of MTV which adds to the depressing look.

>>215215831
when you were in high school and I was in middle school, we had MTV2 which played music while the original channel played reality TV and Carson Daly type stuff.

>>215214671 (OP)
I never gave a shit about music, but Liquid Television, Beavis and Butthead, The State, Aeon Flux, Oddities (The Head/The Maxx), Cartoon Sushi, Sifl and Ollie, Celebrity Deathmatch, Tom Green, Jackass, Wildboyz, Fear, Scarred, and Wondershowzen were certified kino.

Speaking of Wildboyz, I met John Rhys-Davies at a convention over the weekend, and while he was signing my Middle-Earth map, I brought up his narration on that show, and he had no idea what I was talking about. He had completely forgotten about it.

MTV has channels devoted to music. At least on Comcast. They have Latino they have rap and r&b etc. It just means all those channels are gone. Sad

>>215216180
I remember some video from many years ago where the guy running MTV addressed the people complaining about the fact that MTV didn’t play music anymore, and his response in not so many words was “You’ve aged out of our target demo, and we no longer need nor want your viewership.”

>>215216248
There's also MTV Classic for now too. It's still playing music. Dunno how many people get that

TV is a legacy media. It's like the newspaper.

>>215216068
I'm not gonna talk about Marx but there is definitely something correct about Marx's bit about how culture ultimately works itself into irrelevance and gets replaced.
When MTV started playing music videos music was dominated by Rock, Rap was a grimey underground music that didn't get too far out of Harlem, Electronic was dirty and didn't get too far from West Berlin and Michael Jackson was a kid.
Today rock is relatively irrelevant, Michael Jackson is dead and negatively associated with kids and rap and electronic dominate popular music and are being made by kids from everywhere from India to Indiana.
We don't get our music from the same places we got it from in the 80s and 90s. There's no NOW That's What I Call Music volume 556, just a Spotify Today's Hit's Playlist, if you want to watch Music Videos of your favorite new songs you go to Youtube.
How many people in MTV's former target Demographic even have Cable anymore?

>>215214866
It's MTV's fault for not simply creating a music video channel. Just a few mouse clicks

>>215216732

Stopped reading there

>>215216588
Yeah, but those are also the places that have the most reliable information.
If a podcaster says something absurdly wrong it's just another day, if the NBC or the New York Times says something absurdly wrong there will be congressional hearings, it will be on the front page of a bunch of other papers, and there will be weeks of college courses in numerous fields devoted to talking about the scandal.

I'm a legit unc and I stopped caring about MTV about twenty years ago, give or take. But was absolute kino in the 90's.
So long and thanks for all the fish.

This is why you didn't make it.

Back in the day MTV was important because music videos could only be seen on it but now with the internet and youtube you don't need it anymore.

>>215215596
Music channels here were dead to me when Kerrang went.

>>215215975
yeah, but that all ended decades ago. this is just kicking over the ashes.

>>215216803
MTV did create music video only channels and that's what being shut down. Are you just not paying attention?

>>215216861
Post your hairline bro.

>>215215941
if by kino you mean shit, sure

Good fucking riddance

>End of an era
end of oppression. finally today much more independent creators are freed from the shakles of industry and proft-rates to publish their stuff on their own term.

MTV dying isnt a cause for despair. its a cause to cheer.

the era of corporate clone music, the era of "industrial culture reproduction", will come to an end.

the actual creators, freed from their technocratic, capitalist shackles, will flourish like never before.

the death of MTV is not a curse - its one of the signs of liberation of mankind. at last.

future generation will not have to climb through all the monopolized, structural shit genX and millenials have to climb through. (unless theyre retards).

>Streaming killed the Video star
Back to origins

>>215216257
yeah, music heavy rotation, dictated by "the industry" was the plaque, but some niche production actually were worthy back than. couldnt get that on main-shit-medai rprograms.

>>215216588
>TV is a legacy media. It's like the newspaper.
dont worry, a 20, 30 or 50 yeara from now winston smith work like in 1984 wont be need anymore. cause noone will have a clue anymore whats real, was real or will be real cause their wont be any unchangeable records anymore. good luck, coomers.

likely i wont live long enough to see this taking effect totally with my own eyes... but you young-farts will. but that will be a fleeting moment. cause coomers themselves already grew up in a hybrid main-shit-media enviroment. the succession wont be that hard for you mind-slaves.

>>215216819
>Stopped reading there
that only shows your a common ignorant. nothing more. partly co-responsible for the society we have to live in today.

in short, for the TL;DR faction: marx said that a society will reporduce even their culture by "industrial means". MTV was one of these "means" in its prime. its prime has passed. it didnt stand the test of time and progress. thats not the end of capitalism. capitalism will change according to the social demands as long as their ist profit to make, policitans to buy or peeps allowing the 1% and their 9% lakeys to rule them in all eternity.

>>215214866
But there is nothing on YouTube though

>>215218930
Besides music videos, I mean. Oh now I see what happened.

VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR

I’m gonna be honest, I had no idea the “M” stood for music until now

INTERNET KILLED THE MTV STAR

So does this mean ridiculousness is finally over?

>>215219077
i remember one of their bumpers having two guys like wrestling saying "more" and "music" so i thought they were fighting over what the "M" meant
i realized a long time later that they were just saying "more music" together

>>215219024
of course you did, retarded ignorant. enjoy the social structure you unwillingly supoorted just by ignoring anything you emotinally dont like. i dont even need to see your flag to know youre an US-tard...

In Europe
No one has mentioned this is in Europe
>>215218614
Punk music sure smells funny

>>215219100
short: yes.
longer: no - free-flow of information did kill the monopolized information flow. MTV was an advertising agent for the big entertainment corporations. pumping their shit into unprepared minds 24/7. reproducing capitalist society like we were still in the ealate 80s.

>>215215302
Because network execs only care that number goes up, and that means transforming the channel into something extremely cheap and vapid that middle age moms will watch all day.
Just look what happened to the Sci Fi Channel. Excuse me, the "Syfy" channel.

This sucks. Change it.

>>215219239

>MTV was an advertising agent for the big entertainment corporations. pumping their shit into unprepared minds 24/7.

Nailed it. Still, I miss the pure art of music videos even more than I miss the ultra-hip, bleeding edge culture that surrounded them.

>>215214892
that is ridiculous! seriously why did that channel give up like that? going by that schedule it looks like 99% of the employees walked out and they just said fuck it and tried to create the worst schedule possible before leaving

I get that you can now watch music videos on youtube, but radio stations still exist despite of this.
why not making thematic music programs with a presenter that narrates cool stuff before launching the videos.
something like a serialized show about music genres where they explain the history and evolution between the videos. Or a show about the coolest new artists right now. Stuff like that.

>>215217141
For a network that claimed to have the ear of youth culture, they didn't put their music videos on youtube before Vevo did, and the rest is history

>>215216893
I'll never forget the day I saw the spice girls on there. That's when I stopped watching.

>>215221501
Fit Brit chicks with exposed flat tummies, disgusting

>>215221501
Y'kow I kinda remember that vibe as well. It's the mid 90's. You're aware the Spice Girls exist and you're appropriately repulsed. And then you see them on MTV being taken seriously and platformed.

Definite shark-jumping moment. Not that they care. Like a previous anon pointed out MTV was always a Jew project to generate revenue and shape culture. They didn't take any of it seriously or hold it sacred. Just more profit margins to the merchants.

>>215221281
they used to do that or at least I think that's mtv raps or yo or whatever was about. same as the headbangers ball

But who was actually still watching mtv?

Were music videos doing that poorly to change the entire channel?

Besides liquid television, there were a couple good shows like Headbanger's Ball and Alternative Nation would play Nirvana and stuff
>>215221832
I don't know why they couldn't appeal to the post-Britney spears generation with music videos, seems like they had started to shift to reality tv before even that though

>>215214742

MTV Latam in the early 2000s was kino, it was similar to Adult Swim, aside from the music videos they aired Beavis & Butthead, Drawn Together, South Park, Daria, Stripperella, Happy Tree Friends, The Mr Hell show and Ren & Stimpy (both the original and the "Adult Party" version)

>>215221832
>>215221986

Music videos are expensive, labor-intensive, time-consuming, and high risk/high reward. Reality TV slop is cheap and easy and profitable. The entire industry bent to the siren call of reality TV. MTV was just always the biggest whore.

MTV essentially created a new, legitimate, exhilarating and exciting modern-era artform then let it languish and die because they found an easier way to make money by selling goyslop.

>>215221757
if they just show a random rotation of music videos, of course there's no point of watching MTV instead of YouTube. They should have created interesting additional content around music videos instead. Music documentaries too, but the best they could come up with is shallow stuff like "100 greatest one hit wonders of the '90s" commented by washed up music celebrities.

>>215216051
I can't tell if you are jewish or Indian.

why did it fail bros?

Why don't they sell it to someone who cares about what it used to be?

>>215215357
I remember when they had beavis and butthead as one of their top shows. I also liked celebrity deathmatch but the reboot sucked ass.

Do normies even watch MTV anymore? I figured out they'd get bored from watching the same shit over and over

>>215222177
You know MTV didn't make the music videos right?

>>215222643
My nieces and nephews are fine with ridiculousness on in the background all day while they scroll on their phones.
