I grew up on MTV when it was music videos and once again I have “mtv” on the cable I get with my apt but it’s called Xite. It’s 24/7 music videos. I put it on in the background almost daily.
Hey Al, you can call me Betty.
A more appropriate singer of the song than Paul Simon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUhxElgh6ns
That’s awesome! I never knew he did that cover. Thanks for sharing!
Steve Jay absolutely nails it.
Boop, Crocker, or the kind that leaves you as the sole bell hop in one of the towns most prestigious hotels on NYE?
Nah, the guy who knows a girl with Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes.
And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al.
TRUMPET!!!
complex bass solo
Now i gotta go listen to Graceland. I hope you’re happy.
Do you dance if you want to?
Ah yes, it’s safe to dance!
I lost my. I lost my. I lost my MTV (about 30 years ago).
Reality killed the video star, reality killed the video star, Real World came and broke your heart
Thanks, MTV, for 3 years of music television.
Nah, there was a good decade of actual music on there. It was all downhill once “The Real World” came out.
I don’t want my MTV
MTV is wholly responsible for the dumbing of America.
Not aliens on The History Channel? Not Honey Boo Boo on The Learning Channel? Not Jerry Springer? Montel? Steve? Not Joe Rogan or Howard Stern? Not Rush?
This country has hundreds of terrible influences at all times.
None of that would have existed without The “Real” World.
Rush is a great band. Don’t put this on them.
Lol I was like WTF did Rush do? Oh, right, Limbaugh.
my first thought is they’re canadian lol
The Rush in question.
Which came first bud?
MYV opened the door for that shit. Hence, my point.
Most of what I mentioned is older than MTV.
MTV started in 1981
The Real World first aired in 1992
Jackass came around 2000While MTV didn’t create reality TV, they played a major role in dumbing it down to make it appealing to the dumbest of our population- which are many.
Also, NONE of what you mentioned is older than MTV.
It most certainly is not.

most certainly not, if you think AA/music is the sole reason you have some personal issues. you should go back to watch FOX.
ROFL… so for starters, if you think I meant the music they ran, YOU need to go back to school. And secondly, you assume I watch Fox because I think reality shows lowers our collective IQ?
Your part in this discussion is a good example of the damage that garbage reality programming did to people.
Going to block you now, so I won’t see any responses from here on- that you make such baseless bad faith accusations because you disagree with someone tells me that filtering you from my feed won’t be a loss at all.
Stop looking for arguments and you’ll stop finding them.
YouTube killed the MTV star
It didn’t! If you really watched MTV the past years, you would notice the content was nothing but songs. All these cool shows back in the millenium, where thrown in the pit.
I had 15 MTV channels on my satelite box, all of them playing old songs mostly.This is kind of funny and ironic given the outcry when they switched from showing music videos, to doing only shows. Now it’s the opposite.
I think I quit watching MTV back when they took a nosedive into reality TV
It’s been a while
Lmao
This move affects MTV’s dedicated music-only channels, not the main MTV network, which will continue airing reality shows and pop culture programming.
Mtv died when rob dyrdek took control of like all the programming. Possibly before that, when it just became reality TV crap.
The real world wet the slope.
Oh noes what will all the fans of ridiculousness dooooooooooo?
EM/ does a fullscorpion in tribute.
This move affects MTV’s dedicated music-only channels, not the main MTV network, which will continue airing reality shows and pop culture programming. In the U.K. and across parts of Europe, channels like MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live are being removed from Sky and Virgin Media lineups. In the U.S., remaining regional cable feeds that still carried music-only MTV programming are also slated to go dark as distribution contracts expire.


To be fair, it died a long time ago.

*checks current date*
So like… the 31st of December 2025 or the 1st of January 2026?By the end of this year, MTV’s remaining 24-hour music channels will shut down globally…
So like, did it just shut down or will it shut down by the end of 2026?
EDIT: Luckily the comments on that article actually show the real date instead of
published 3 days ago, so it looks like MTV just shut down in 2025.TIL:
- MTV was still alive in 2025
- MTV Still had 24 hour music channels after say… 1993?
- MTV, much to my great surprise was able to keep the lights on past 2000!
