MTV's auxiliary 24-hour music channels have gone dark worldwide. The cultural juggernaut is now mostly home to reality shows and competitions, as it joins TLC and The History Channel as a station whose name has lost all relevance.
Is it a bad thing, though? I submit, for your consideration, the music video for Katy Perry's Woman World. Be warned, this is not safe for human consumption 😜

TieDyeDude In all honesty, though, it is disappointing to lose a cultural icon. MTV was blocked on our TV for a large part of my childhood (not that we didn't find ways around it), and my musical tastes leaned more towards VH1 and CMT, but I remember, among other things, tracking the rise of Eminem, being traumatized by Black Hole Sun, and the twisted Celebrity Death Match. 25m
TheBookHippie I remember seeing Black Hole sun for the first and last times. So powerful. ♥️🙌🏼 Hair stood up on your arms good. 15m
TheBookHippie @TieDyeDude MTV didn‘t come out until I was a late teen. Senior in high school I think. It‘s fuzzy. 😅👵🏼 13m

Texreader @TieDyeDude MTV in the 80s was the best. Banned as well, but yea, ways around that. 9m
Karisa I loved the videos on MTV too. Couldn‘t watch them on front of my religious parents but it was one of the perks of being a latch key kid. I was mesmerized by Losing my Religion, Jeremy, and Take on Me… so many great videos! now
TheBookgeekFrau I was 11ish when MTV first came out as an extra cable you had to order and pay an additional fee for, and it wasn't available everywhere, like where I lived 😤 I think I was 13 when it finally made it to my boondocks town 😂 now
