The Day The Music Video Died

Good fucking riddance.

I remember watching TRL when I was about 12, thinking "This shit's really stupid". Note that I was also a socially awkward Korn fan, and occasionally a Korn video would make the countdown and rank at Number One.

And I STILL wouldn't watch it.

And then there's good old Carson Daly who missed the memo that he isn't cool or funny. Man, his talk show sucks. Talk about trying too hard, but if I were him, I'd just stop talking in general. What a douchebag. I feel embarassed for him, listening to him trying to be a hardassed edgy comedian on Last Call. He sucked the corn out of BritBrit's shit when she was on TRL. Now he thinks he has a pair because he can talk smack.

And I love VH1 Classic. Metal Mania rules. I go out of my way to watch it every Saturday night/Sunday morning. Now VH1 Classic is all that I watch, because it appears to be the only channel I can tolerate anymore. VH1 Classic's just keepin' it real, and not about teh whores, yo. Let's hope it stays that way.

I was in high school when MTV premiered...plus, I remember when Sasha Fierce, was a black, gay, drag queen, who KNEW his shit!!

MTV started in August of 1981, two months after I graduated high school. I know, I'm old. It was just the coolest thing at the time...

Oh yes, I remember when MTV first aired back in 1981. Those were the days when they really were "music television". It fell off over the years!

I do it once, I do it twice...
Now there's steak with the beans & rice... B.D.P

MTV died in the 90's along with Kurt

meh, who cares. Everyone interested in music gave up on mtv a long time ago.

Yeah, a few seconds of a music video really sucked anyway. Goodbye, TRL.

We never got MTV in Canada until 2006 so seeing the last TRL was eye-opening, especially seeing how truly self-absorbed Timberfake was both in the past (bowing before Halle) and in the present. Equally jarring was realising that the acts of the past (including Backstreet Boys and Snoop Dog) had a multitude of talent compared to the present ones (Viley, Mr. Ashlee Simpson etc)

You'd think they would have called Vadge on to do her 1984 Video Awards bridal-dress wearing stage-humping performance one more time. Isn't she back in NYC or too busy banging the ball player?

Side note, I bet TRL handed these "screaming girls" cue cards to sing along with "I Want it That Way." There's no way they were old enough to remember the words of one of the greatest boy band songs around!

that's EXACTLY what I was thinking! I was like shut up you tweenie bitches, y'all don't know shit! I was 13 when the BSB craze took off, definitely am a product of the Boy Band era. Love this and always will.

In heaven, all the interesting people are missing.

MTV started in August of 1981, two months after I graduated high school. I know, I'm old. It was just the coolest thing at the time and I was one of the first people to get one of those red hooded sweatshirts with the yellow MTV logo on it. I think that was the last time I was cool. My kids call me a cool Mom, but that's not quite the same.

If you have some extra cable service and scroll down into the 100's on your TV, you can find some MTV channel that still shows videos all the time. Sad that it turned into the crapfest of shows that it has.

This was not a "Reunion" of the Backstreet Boys. Clearly Kevin Richardson was not there. Where was Kevin at such a monumentous event? AIn't nothin but a heartache..."

Kevin quit the group a few years ago because he felt he was too old and wanted to do other projects - like Broadway.

I fucking hate it when i go to a concert and they hold up the mic at the crowd to 'sing it'. I paid to hear the crowd slurring the fuck outta the song? NO! Dammit. Lazy asses. Maybe they're sick of singing their popular songs or just too fucked up to sing.

Hmm. Internet killed the video star...shit, now that's going to be stuck in my head all fucking day.

Green is Good ~ 1988 was the last time MTV played any videos.
************************************************

Ha ha! That long ago, eh Stock?

The last time I watched MTV, they were still showing Ren and Stimpy.

MTV shows music videos all night long. Videos for crap music, but videos none the less.

I remember watching TRL when I was a kid, damn that seems like a lomg time ago. When I was really really little I used to be obsessed with MTV. My brother and I would watch it endlessly because they used to show Ren and Stimpy and Beavis and Butthead and when you're 5 thoe cartoons are cool. As I got older I was so happy to when they came out with TRL because they really were a tween girls wet dream.

Friends play an important part in our life. I find many nice friends at the rich singles & celebrity dating club ^^^^^^SingleparentMate. C O M^^ ^^^^. They are honest and humorous. It is a nice site. You will be pleasantly surprised after you find them.

That only leaves VH-1. Ugh. Thank dog for youtube.

Does anybody even remember the last time MTV actually showed a music video?

I never really watched TRL (although the ONE time I watched it was the C-Love/Madonna showdown) but you know what I miss? The Grind! My family didn't have cable so I would go home with my best friend every day after school and we would ogle the shirtless guys... this was in, like, 3rd grade (and MAN, did I feel like a rule-breaker!). I can't even imagine how I would have turned out if I'd been watching Tila Tequila and the Hills in 3rd grade instead. I can't BELIEVE some of the trash they show in the middle of the day! Fuck MTV.

I used to LOOOOVVVVEEEE TRL back in high school for some embarassing reason.....I remember that whole Mimi thing, prety funny. What was funnier was Mimi's cribs episode where she changed clothes for every room she showed.....those were the first signs that her strings were unraveling...

I thought I remembered it being something like that.

it seems like it was once a decent show and mtv programmed it to death.

to sheeps..

yeah, they don't really introduce music on mtv any more. it used to be the middle of the night was a good time to watch.

now if there are 10 videos you've seen too much and three new bands that are exactly like every other band (or whatever you call assemblies of people who put out cds nowadays).. that's how mtv fills its one hour devoted to music.

I don't understand why they got rid of it.
Its called MUSIC TELEVISION.

So why is it bombarded with absolutely horrendously scripted shows like Paris Hiltons BFF, Parental Control, Date my Daughter, Sweet 16?? That's what our teens are watching? Horrible.

Saem, I watched it too, back in 1999-2001. It was a fun show.

MTV is so fucking lame now.

Ok I'm a shamed to admitted but I *used* to watch TRL. I remember coming home from school and trying to do my homework while watching. When TRL first started they didn't have an audicine, it was just Carson counting down the videos, and the occasional guest.

RIP

The sad thing is that 10 years ago if I watched something like that..(backstreet boys singing badly) I would feel all warm and fuzzy inside and most importantly I would be jealous of the girls in the audience.

I need to be shot for atrocities like that.

Carson daly was so over about 6 years ago but no one bothered to tell him. Remember when he thought he was so cool because he wore black nailpolish on just the middle, ring and pinky fingers? What a douche.

Bye TRL.

Judging from the comments, most people would rather see videos on MTV and VH1 than vapid,repulsive, mind-numbing reality shows. But maybe my tastes and views don't matter because I am not in the 18-24 demographic.

I never liked TRL anyway.It was all talk and screaming tweens and Carson always came across as an ass to me.Backstreet Boys suck but they probably think they have a shot at a comeback since NKOTB did it.

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
