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...

You just need to put in a little work. Music has progressed just fine. There is GREAT music out there that's being created as we speak. What type of music do you listen to?

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.
