  When within 5 minutes you admit that you don't know shit about music and you're doing a documentary type video about a music channel. Screw you. Thumbs down this sucks. Go fucking educate yourself before you start doing shit like this you moron

  When all of the big reality shows started to come out it really was the last nail in the coffin of MTV music

  The death of MTV was a symptom of the record labels shooting themselves in the foot and finally nailing their own coffins shut.  The music industry has always been a fragile ecosystem and was already teetering on a knife’s edge because of downloading.  The record labels decided to make up the losses by charging MTV to show their artists’ videos and the channel opted for the much cheaper alternative of reality television.  Nobody wanted it but there was a whole new generation primed to accept it, not really knowing any better.  This is the same reason we don’t hear guitars or bands on modern pop radio anymore.  It’s just cheaper to get an “artist” paired with a track somebody made on a laptop outside a Starbucks.

  I'm PROUD to be GENERATION-X and witnessed the GLORY days of MTV in the 1990s.

  The Real World not only was the beginning of the end of MTV, it also killed cable in general because "reality" TV was cheap to make and proved popular, so many cable channels began churning out reality TV programs.

  The first Real World was actually pretty awesome. Little did we know the hell it would unleash.

  I was 11 when Mtv first came on the air and we all thought it was the greatest thing ever but it didn't take long to realize they were in complete control of the Pop Culture, the popular music, the clothing styles, and pretty much the entire social climate. They've pretty much helped to destroy music and the damage they've done socially is irreparable.

  Late 80's early 90's MTV was the greatest thing in my life. I would skip school to sit at home and watch MTV all day.
