"Without music life would be a mistake."
-Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Quickly approaching as many of us know is the TRL [total request live] finale. For years, or rather for as long as I can remember, and my older siblings, MTV has had minimal amounts of music. So what, some may think...well the "So" is, that for a station whose acronym stands for MUSIC television , why is there minimal amounts of music?
Without TRL one of the last sprinkles of legitimacy MTV can claim for itself what does MTV really have to offer? Well one thing is for sure not music. Thus, from now on I can no longer look forward to sitting uselessly in front of my TV hearing screaming fans, and brand new music, and seeing what music videos will be retired for the day.
Instead of music I can "rely" on MTV to give me a certain amount of "reality" that I just don't get from real life. I mean life would just not be the same without me knowing who Paris's new BFF is going to be, or what the girls on the Hills are doing now, and [here's the kicker] how much spoiled teenagers are now spending on their super sweet sixteen!
So I guess one thing hasn't changed, I can still count on MTV to kill massive brain cells on useless noneducational television. Oh, MTV you've served us well. But seriously, where did all the music go?

MTV has replaced youth culture with blurred reality. Thankyou for that!
I hate mtv best thing on there is True Life (in my opinion) same goes for VH1 and all other nonsense I see on tv. Honestly? Making money from pre-teens by making them believe scripted BS is important!
