MTV

When MTV first came out, it was only airing music videos of popular artists. People complained then about how it was taking attention away from radio stations and it was also causing unexpected side effects to its listeners. I have to laugh at that a little bit because if those people who complained then would see MTV now and how it has grown and changed into something completely different, then they would definitely have something to complain about. MTV stands for Music Television, where you could tune in to see your favorite band rocking out. Nowadays, it may still stand for Music Television, but there is a whole bunch of other mindless crap that rots the brains of our young society. I know that it has grown popular by having various things to watch besides music videos, but it seemed like back when it first aired, there was more class to it. MTV over the years has lost it's meaning. They still show music videos, but most of its airing time is taken up by "Reality shows" with people running around naked and drunk, doing incredibly ridiculous things, that everyone should know if they weren't on TV, they would be in a world of trouble. I think that MTV kind of promotes these inappropriate behaviors now, instead of promoting the good music like it used to.
