May 2000 - WHY I HATE
MTV AND PEOPLE AS A GENERAL RULE
As a general principle, I hate MTV and I hate
people. Let me explain. Most people are brainless sheep when it comes to
music, and MTV only strengthens this problem!
Ok, here's the deal. Ever wonder why MTV
generally only shows little clips of videos during the day?? Well, it's
because their core audience has the attention span of a mentally ill, hyperactive
monkey! They can't sit still for more than 30 seconds, and they damn sure
don't have the attention span to sit through an entire three to four minute
music video!!! Not even for N Suck!
The problem I have is when a band I like
or a song I like makes its way to MTV. An example; PODs' "Southtown". This
video is usually only on LATE at night (the only time I'll even consider
watching MTV). BUT, somehow, I see more and more mindless drones going
out to buy the CD, just to "..get that Southtown song, the video rocks!".
They don't care about the band, they just want that f***ing song!!!
They're are a couple other artists that
I just can't listen to anymore because of MTV and there followers; Limp
Bizkit and KoRn. Once upon a time, when MTV or radio wouldn't TOUCH either
one of these bands I liked them...they were cool to me. Now? Well, somewhere
along the way, KoRn sold out and forgot about the most important part of
the business, THE MUSIC, and Fred Durst all of a sudden became the most
self centered and egotistical human walking the planet!
I can listen to both of these bands first
albums, but, not that much, because at some point I hear a song that someone
just jumps up and says "I love that song!" and it makes me change to something
else. I do that because five minutes earlier this same person had just
gone through a steady progression of "The Thong Song" and the latest N
Suck song.
I'm not real sure what the point of this
rant is...I'm sure you're thinking the same thing...but, basically, I'm
trying to say that there is a TON of great music in the world that isn't
on MTV 24/7..keep this in mind, just because Carson Daly never interviewed
_________(put name on empty line), that doesn't mean they don't rock!
Personally, I think Chris Rock said it
best a couple years back when he said "Here Today, GONE
Today!"
Of course, I could be wrong....
