What went wrong?
They cancelled pic related.
Twice.
lack of music videos, more reality trash
Road Rules and The Real World
Youtube
>>69069471
>"music television"
>never actually broadcast music
They become RTV, then took off all the good reality/dating shows.
BRING BACK ROOM RAIDERS AND NEXT
>>69069585
They actually stopped calling it "music television"
MTV just means "MTV" now
>tfw she's not on MTV Canada anymore
Reminder.
>>69069596
This
Parental Control too
>>69069471
>tfw last good era of mtv back in 2001

Like any business they gave the people what they wanted. Don't blame MTV for the fact that Americans are retarded.
>>69069505
>>69069677
what does the m stand for then??
cmon yall
>>69069967
It doesn't stand for anything. That's what I mean.
Teenage girls became the primary demo
too much reality tv
More like EmptyV
>>69070006
They always were, dude. Who do you think were watching Bon Jovi and Skid Row videos?
>>69069471
The same thing that went wrong with the history channel and TLC
Real talk
First 2 seasons of Jersey Shore were decent.
It went to shit when they went to Italy or whatever
They started pandering too hard to SJWs.

this unfortunately

ur mom
>>69070092
Bon Jovi, Poison and Motley Crue maybe - Skid Row were a bit scruffy for the teen grill demographic.

Can't really argue with this.
>>69070094
i really miss how the history channel used to be and history international.
>>69070165
She was actually.
>>69070092
A lot of guys were watching those too, and once grunge hit and you had shows like liquid television and beavis and butthead I'd say it was majority guys watching
Not enough Aqua and Eiffel 65, that's what killed MTV.

Skid Row is not scruffy.
Sebastian Bach was the prettiest man I've ever seen.

>>69070224
Actually yeah, you're right - not sure why I remembered them differently.
>>69070186
Those sorts of bands were all people listened to in my redneck high school, apart from people who watched Headbanger's Ball.
Anyway, I assume the real reason for things going wrong was that it was more cost effective for them to produce shit shows than to pay royalties for videos.
>>69070106tfw me and a friend would drink and watch new episodes of Jersey shore together
good times

Millennials are ~20ish to ~35ish according to most. Unless you're over 35 or under 20 you're a millennial
>>69069705
who is this semoness
>>69070461
The youngest Millennials, right now, are 17 or so.
It stopped being Music Television and started being just Television.
>>69070461
That does mean that MTV went wrong right around when the early millennials would have started watching. Think it's a bit of a stretch to blame them but whatever.

If they get off their asses and adapt more Historical events like Vikings it can be redeemed.
>The British Crusade against Slavery
>Reconstruction
>The Barbary Wars
>The Communist Revolution of Russia
>Fall of Rhodesia
>King Ghezo of Dahomey
>Vlad The Impaler
>The fall of Detroit
>The Oregon Trail
>Rise of the Nazis
>The fall of Rome
>The post-muhammad Jihad in the Middle East
>The Khan Conquests
>The Armenian Genocides
>The fall of the Soviet Union
>The Egyptian Dynasties
>The Hawaiian Crown
>The Spanish Conquest of the Aztecs
>The Chinese Dynasties and the Mongols
>The Japanese feuds
>The Clan Wars of Scotland
They can basically keep multiple shows going and cover all of human history.
I miss the Hitler era of the History channel.

Even if MTV didn't lose the music connection in the early 00's smartphones would have utterly destroyed it.
>>69069471
leftists
>>69070488
Nope. 21. Just had a professor do a researched presentation on it.
If MTV still wanted to be mainly about music, what kind of programming would they even do?
>>69073180
introduce the audience to knew stuff

Live launch concerts.
X artist/band is releasing new album today, let's air his/her release party to help them drum up sales.
You never run out of concerts to air since new albums come out every week.
>>69070179
Fucking this. Theres only so much history in the world, all the documentaries that will never be made because of swampfags ;_;
Reality TV
Embracing shitty hip hop culture

The death of the Liquid Television block.
Is Headbanger's Ball still around?
