MTV - classic or dud?

I was kind of hoping it would be a never-ending cycle of olds bitching about youngs via MTV.

"Man, remember when MTV used to play videos all the time before this House of Style bullshit?"
"Man, remember when MTV used to play whole videos without teenagers screaming and sending 'shout-outs' over the top?"
"Man, remember when MTV used to play videos at all?"
"Man, remember when MTV used to play those good reality shows like Real World and Road Rules?"
"Man, remember when MTV used to have shows with Nick Cannon?"
etc, etc, ad infinitum

the lasting legacy of mtv for my generation of teens is jackass, quite obviously

jersey shore is a bit past my age

from my experience, ppl that are into music would be v nostalgic about the box

Oh man The Box was great.

damn, son

mtv was too entertaining for me, at precisely the right time in my life, to really give a shit what happened to it after i tuned out

i mean there's only so far you can take affection for a giant corporation before you blunder into fondly remembering commercials

oh right Jackass. allright I retract my previous post. totally forgot Jackass was MTV tbh

i'm proud of ilx for not being so tacky

Except a big chunk of this thread has been you bitching about MTV not being as good as it used to be.

kennedy turning out to be some neocon harpie was real disappointment to me.

lewis largent is doing 20 years to life for murder

kennedy turning out to be some neocon harpie was real disappointment to me.

ARe you fucking with me?!

find me one post

best kennedy moment ever was her trying to interview martin landau.

landau having none of her gen x glibness.

no nobody gives two fucks for kennedy.

i had the hugest crush on kennedy for real tho

I always hated her but now I think I am retroactively attracted to her.
Lol nostalgia is weird

find me one post

Well not bitching, but iirc the whole general tone of this recent revive is how much better MTV was in the 90s, right?

always hated her and yes she is a neocon harpy

hey let's not get into this argument because who cares

god i hated kennedy at the time

i mean i'm sure i'd hate her now, too, maybe even more, but she's not showing up on my tv six hours per day

In a 2000 interview she is quoted as saying that she is a registered Republican but an ideological libertarian.

In a 2010 interview on Fox Business's Freedom Watch she discussed her libertarian views with Judge Andrew Napolitano.

anyway, despite markers' + hoos' protests, i think objectively speaking jackass is the legacy of mtv for our gen of teenagers, and it's a pretty damn good one!

i like jersey shore as much as the next person, but jackass >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

kennedy was always the worst

i don't care if kennedy voted for the fuckin lizard people, she was on the top of my 95 smash list

I always hated her so much. She was always trying way too hard to be alt when you know that in her tiny blackened soul she secretly loved Nelson.

Oh wow, you got me there Whiney "YOU LOSE! I WIN!", "winning" an "argument" like a four year-old. I hate you so much sometimes.

Oh I remember that Ringwald thing! That was deep in the depths of my huge crush on her.

i used to spend a lot of my lunch time in, like, 7th(?) or 8th(?) (or both?) grade or talking about music videos w/ one of my best friends iirc -- good times

she is dressed like andie in pretty in pink

Like Whiney is the premiere example of an intelligent dude that should never post on a message board because he completely undercuts all the good crit-work he does by behaving like a complete fucking tool.

other mtv shows important 2 me: the ashlee simpson show, the assistant (andy dick's show)

guys can we get away from internet arguing and children posting about turn-of-the-millennium mtv and back to griping about alternative nation vjs
