MTV’s pop revolution has turned music into an afterthought

By Jim Farber  | Knight Ridder

More than two decades have passed since MTV ushered in a new era of glitz, hype and art by kicking off with that Buggles song, a tune that foretold the murder of music as we knew it at the hands of the new video god.

...

“There’s a complaint you hear all the time from managers and labels that MTV just doesn’t play music anymore,” says one well-connected industry observer who didn’t want to be identified for fear of riling the network. “Everyone wonders how it got to thi

--Trendy bullshit "reality" shows featuring retarded teens and 20 somethings squabbling their lives away

--A show called "Total Request Live" where teens and 20 somethings request bullshit manufatured music because they're under fire from an intense bullshit music campaign from the industry.

--They have a show called Jackass

Yep, the M needs to go........and maybe the T and the V too.

VH1C is "IT" right now for music tv programming, actually it has been since it came on the air. I love the diversity it brings, Metal Mania, Tuesday Two Play and many more shows that I love to watch. When was the last time you saw a Vanilla Fudge video on MTV? you probably never have..........lol

Oh, and by the way, drop the whole thing....not just the M.

Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday.
