gen z is really more into spiderman/elsa scat porn rather than music desu

Wow that pansy? What a lame.

Memes certainly have a role, "Ultimate" by Denzel Curry I assume owes it's popularity to vines.

MTV has become the old dude trying too hard to be cool/hip/“with it”, it’s been so long since the “I want my MTV” days that no one even considers them remotely edgy or rebellious. I wouldn’t be surprised if their non-music content was indistinguishable from a Democrat party event these days.

Pitchfork was a tastemaker for a long time but now they’re just a Conde Nast corporate synergy blowhorn riding on the reputation of Ryan Schreiber’s work

Everyone knows the melon is where it’s at now, and if you don’t know it then you better learn it soon

MTV hasn't been cool since the late 90s. Imagine turning on the TV at 6 years old and seeing this

I'm 20 and the only time I remember MTV airing music was when I was very very young and it was like britney spears and shit. I think they stopped showing music completely by like 2006.

It's the youtube autoplay feature

This

Pretty much serves the function of MTV nowadays. You can just run through your artist mix and recs to get new stuff and go through random videos.

Social media.

>Is MTV still the major cultural force that it used to be?

Did you just wake up from a coma? MTV hasn't been a "major cultural force" since the last century.

Do people even still watch television anymore?

>yfw MTV showed Burzum

that's fucking hilarious

when the fucking purple "artist-song" overlay comes in

Its crazy to think fucking MTV was showing Ween and Burzum on TV in the 90s

My friend and I were talking about this once how cool it would have been to go to college during the heyday of MTV. You could just sit around drink a few beers and see what's on when you're bored and they'd usually play something cool. Today you can run the youtube autoplay but it's just not the same.

So just like Sup Forums. Remember when they used to be all libertarians and Stormbros? Now the board looks like /r/thedonald meets a www.seanhannity.com comment section.

>I wouldn’t be surprised if their non-music content was indistinguishable from a Democrat party event these days
These days? I remember them doing "Rock Against Bush" events during the 2004 election.

>bringing Sup Forums up

fuck off

in 1985-86, for one year, we had a music video station on free tv in Boston called "V66". playlist similar to MTV but with a ton of local bands and more variety in general. Great station.

MTV's "The Basement Tapes" had unsigned bands throughout the 80s - basically garage videos. Kind of amazing that stuff made it to air.

Truth is MTV was going to die as a cultural force in the 2000s anyway. They were promoting MTV2 as the place for music video as the main channel switched to Osbournes and Jackass and Road Rules.

They got extra life because of the rise of hip-hop (Eminem, Jay-Z, Kanye, OutKast) but then YouTube absolutely demolished them. Dead as a music force by 2010 I would say.

RIP.
