Panzer Division Marduk Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 MTV killed good music. F those guys. It didn't kill good music, merely drove it underground, which in all honesty, is better for its longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war ensemble Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 It didn't kill good music, merely drove it underground, which in all honesty, is better for its longevity. I always thought it would help in longevity, but hurt in its progress/innovation. As MTV drives the public towards crappy music, more people are encouraged to follow in their footsteps, which leads to more crappy music. So you might get good music for longer, but there are less people willing to improve the good music, so the selection could run thin. I think that was MTV's goal, but the significant underground presence ruined that a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is GREAT music out there that's being created as we speak. What type of music do you listen to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought MTV's original goal was to make money, and the best way to do that has always been to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Dumb it all down. And these days, it's even cheaper just to show reality retards, and to hell with any music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
