When I used to be a teen, it took a lot to skin me away from watching MTV music videos. I loved music, and I could not get too much of the flashy videos and the bigger than life musicians that populated them. As time went on though , it became more and more obvious that though the M in MTV stood for music, it was not actually their main focus. After a bit, I saw less and less music, and more game shows. I won’t even watch the station today, though I am aware that I am now out of their target age group. Today, MTV music isn’t need it used to be, if you can find it at all. Their schedule is brim-full of real life shows and specials, and finding essentially music videos is hard to do.
I’m of the opinion that people who are younger than me like it ; it simply isn’t it isn’t for me.
I haven’t thought a lot about MTV music videos in a long time, but I have begun to consider it again.
My child is getting older and although I loathe the idea of it, I know she’ll grow out of groups like the Shakes shortly enough, and she’s going to be listening to music that is formed for older youngsters. What shocks me is that I will not find any MTV music videos that I’d actually need her watching. The content of the majority of the MTV music videos makes my skin crawl. Ladies have come a good distance during the past decades, yet you’d never know it by watching a few of these videos. Self esteem appears to have flown out the window, but to be fair, this has usually been the case with lots of the MTV music videos that have been and gone in the past. I believe it just appears to be becoming worse, and the depravity appears to have got worse. I do not need her identifying with these girls. I’m aware that I can not keep her from seeing it forever, but I’m hoping I’m able to hold her off long enough to show her how a genuine lady should live.
