MTV has gradually gone down the shitter. 80%+ of the shit on MTV (Music Television) isn't even music. Back in the beginning, MTV was great, these days it's retarded.
All the music channels are shit, imho. American channels show American pop and Emo music, both of which make me want to throw up, and English channels show much of the same, with the odd Brtish girl band thrown in for good measure. And then there's all the heavy rock ones that involve a lot of screaming and bass overdrive.
