I remember those days, when there was a number of tv channels that actually played music videos. Are there any left? VH-1 used to show many more videos, but now not so much. MTV2 I thought showed videos, but I've been seeing a lot of reality/cartoon programming on there as well.

Albany, CA | 80s When I was a teenager in the 80s MTV was the pinnacle of coolness--Yo MTV rap, Headbanger's ball, etc. Now, all MTV shows are just middle and upper class young adults fighting with each other and complaining.
I guess they had to put the music somewhere or be forced to change their name to the crybaby channel or something. | |

|
| | | Didn't help that most popular music went in the crapper in the late 90's/early 00's, what with Brittney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, and all of those other ones I've managed to purge from memory with a mixture of pot and alcohol. Anything that wasn't too offensive for television sucked. The decline was inevitable. | |

When MTV started dumping music for the "x-generation" soaps, well, to be honest, when they started playing mostly hippity hop and rap, I deleted that channel from my line up (Yo.. mtv, you listening). The turned their backs on a generation who made them what they are so, I don't watch'em my kids don't watch'em. Thank god to youtube.. Oh, and VH1C | |

kudos:3 | Copyrights? Could Kazaa be a registered copyright? MTV may be trying to avoid tempting lawsuits against an organization heavily antagonized by the RIAA by not broadcasting what could potentially be construed as a copyright violation.

| | | | Re: Copyrights? so in other words, they don't want to give kids ideas that they could be sued for? seems to fall in line with today's fear of getting sued by some schmuck or offending some idiot. | |

| | Were they censored on tv? Were they censored when they aired on TV? Though, does MTV still even play videos? I mean last time I saw MTV they still did overnight, but it's been some time since I've seen MTV.

Overnight block is dead unless they air FNMTV, which is their cheap replacement for expensive TRL. FNMTV has slightly longer videos, but still "trailer" length, and no studio audience. | |
|
| | | | Re: Were they censored on tv? Figures... They should just rename it "Reality" Television, since there's no music on Music Television apparently anymore. Yeah... I don't have cable, and even when I did MTV was not in my scan list, so I haven't watched the network in years.

1 edit | YAY! We can finally watch music videos!
I think the real issue with MTV is that interest in music videos peaked around the year 2000. And now no one cares.

| | MTV bleeping what sponsors want them to, not new Ever since hordes of kids in the early 90s believed that Humpty Hump sang about "I once got busy in a fuck-ing bathroom", MTV has been known for its really weird, really pandering broad censorship of ridiculous things. Usually these are things that compete or conflict with either their sponsors or their other corporate ties. | |
|
| | MTV is irrelevant I see MTV never ceases to keep redefining irrelevance, but then I suppose that is to be expected since they are the propaganda arm of what someone else said, the RIAAtards . Good one, BTW. | |
|
| | This isn't new news When he very first put this video out places it was hosted like AOL and a few others had a version that had the file sharing sites censored out. Only the one on his web site or his youtube was uncensored. Who knows if he did it as a publicity thing or just to make it ironic. It's Weird Al, he does humor. | |

 ·AT&T DSL Service
| epic failure Soundgarden - no "Black Hole Sun?" No "uncencored" version of "Pretty Noose" either.
Beck - no "Loser"
And who cares if a Weird Al song mentions these things?
He even made that song available for free and WANTED people to download it (using said bleeped out programs?)!
What a crock. Even Yahoo videos had more selection, better quality, and I doubt they'd censor Weird Al of all people...
Then there's youtube, of course, who got sued by Viacom (owns MTV)... which is the dumbest thing they could've done. Nobody cared that youtube had a frakton of video from all over the place
MTV should just give up. They don't care about music anymore (if they ever really did..), and I don't care about them. Nobody I know actually watches any MTV. | |
