MTV

MTV otherwise known as music television station. When MTV first came along it was all about bringing music to life without a face to face performance and letting you see what maybe was is behind the music. Lately however it seems that MTV no longer focuses on music. At least not as it's number one. Shows like the buried life, cribs, My Life As Liz and other shows have taken over the time blocks. I can even remember that when i was younger i could look forward to seeing actual music videos being played when i turned to that Chanel. Now i only expect to see another person who wrote a letter and got their own TV show to be playing. Some are not even related to music at all. Sure you must please the people and entertain them to keep in business but really how many of the same shows can we be expected to watch. If i want to listen to music and maybe find something knew i shouldn't have to wait for all the crappy life reflections programs to pass before i get what i really do want. of course there are times where i do not mind to watch shows such as these but when i want to watch music videos it should not be as much of a hassle as it seems to be these days. Oh the Internet... it is what i have ended up becoming dependant on when i do decide to watch a music video. They are all out there floating around somewhere and finding them usually is not to hard. Anyways things have been developed to make things easier on us but in a way it has made us weaker and more dependent on other types of resources. I like TVs and i enjoy having one except that it has been getting more and more of a rip off with less and less entertainment. Most of my music had come from the Internet, because i do not have time to wait around for something good to come on TV, and because there are more places to go to potentially find something i would be interested in. I do not mind the variety but i do miss the ol TV, remote and couch form of entertainment, musically speaking of course. Music videos were the new thing and were exciting for everyone when it first come along. Unfortunately like everything else people get bored and need new things to keep them entertained. I guess MTV decided that we should give every rich kid a TV show doing whatever they wanted and hoped we would fall in love with them...it seams as though a large percent of the population must have because they keep on keeping on with the wretched shows.

I guess though like with everything else in life, peoples interests change and what is important to them changes as well. Music has seemed to be no exception to this. Over time music was one of the sole methods of expression. When people rebelled they had music, when they were happy they had music, and when they were sad they had music to get them by and share all their ideas. As time has gone on people have found new ways to do this and it seems to be done without the help of music. Like record player and tape players have come to pass it appears as though the music television era is winding down. Soon another will come along and pass then another and another. Till then lets enjoy and good stations that there are left before they disappear and exist only in memories and as revelations of the past.
