There, I said it. I remember the birth of MTV, in all it’s glory. We sat wide-eyed as the rocket took off and the guitar wailed in the background. This was our channel, playing our music- so forget the man- he could never understand this- let him watch sixty minutes! But little did we know- we were all fooled. MTV is the pet of the man.

Remember when bands had loyal followings? When you couldn’t wait for your favorite band to play a show in your area? The band was yours- and you liked them because they were talented, worked hard, and built a fanbase. Now, bands pop up for a second all over the place and then they are gone. MTV made Limp Bizkit possible and for that I will never forgive them. It was because of them that Ozzie Osborne was nominated parent of the year and the Newlyweds is considered entertainment. They tell us what quality music is, and most of us swallow it whole, with our only criteria being, “was it on TRL?”

Now it’s not MTV’s fault really. They are merely a tool of the man, made to sell records- and they have become marvelously efficient at that. Not to mention- they couldn’t sell the records and play the shows if it weren’t for the brainwashed masses who herd into the stores to buy the latest from Avril Lavigne. But like most everything else market driven, they have sacrificed the future for present profits. SO I wonder- what will dethrone the MTVerse? What glorious savior will enter into the horizon to usher the people back to real, true musical culture? Oh- wait! There IS an answer! A real, honest music station, MTV2!
