A piss poor substitute for Mtv. Its like putting cum on your sandwich instead of mayonnaise. Some people say it plays more music, but it usually doesn't start until 3. Its "awesomely bad" series makes the TRL look like networking genius and its show insideout makes the Real World feel like a wet dream to watch. The only good thing about the channel is that is has I love the 70's,80's, and 80's strikes back.

A Viacom channel, launched in May of 2000, which shows music videos from approximately 1970 to 1994 and new videos and interviews with older artists. On most days, it plays twelve hours of programming from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and then repeats. It is generally considered a premium cable channel and not included in most basic packages. There is some concern among ardent video fans that it will move from the almost 24/7 music video format to reality shows, mostly caused by the same change in all other MTV networks, and promoted by recycling of Vh1 shows. Discussions about the channel (including criticism of non-video programming) and a meticulous daily playlist can be found at the forum on www.vh1classic.com under "Message Boards."
Did you see "Take on Me" by A-Ha on Vh1 Classic today? If you missed it, it's on again tonight. And just about every other day.

Often intersecting with dadrock, VH1-core can be described as any artist that's practically worshipped on a VH1 special, such as I Love the 70s/80s/90s, or any Top 100 countdown. Bands in this genre often have merchandise sold in any and every popular clothing store.
Fans of VH1-core are people that listen to the most popular music from an era without realizing that the era (such as hair metal or grunge) is dead, there is still good music being made nowadays aside from the same ten artists mentioned, and that it can be found if they actually bothered to look for it instead of listening to the same rock radio stations until the end of time.
Though VH1-core is not synonymous with dadrock, many dadrock bands are revered by VH1 programming, inciting the comparison. Modern bands referred to as VH1-core can include Foo Fighters, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, The White Stripes, Wolfmother, Audioslave, etc.
Related terms include JCPenney-core and Guitar Hero-core.

Person A: "Oh, man, I love music! I'm really into Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, The Clash, Guns 'n' Roses, Bob Marley, Audioslave, the list could go on..."
Person B: "Sounds like typical VH1-core."

A VH1 Guy (or Girl) is one of those "famous" people from that network's list/retrospective shows whose name and face you never remember. Examples include Hal Sparks, Sherrod Small, Scott Ian, Alison Becker and the Sklar Brothers.
These Z-listers are most often comedians, but run the gamut of actors/actresses, athletes, musicians, reality show contestants and entertainment writers. Sometimes they are even part of the subject matter of the show itself.

"Yo, there's a... *squints* Jake... Fogelnest stand-up special in my Netflix recs. Who the hell is that?"
"Oh, he's a classic VH1 Guy. He was on that Greatest Hard Rock Songs show and talked about how 'Cult of Personality' by Living Colour was the 69th-greatest HARD ROCK song ever for 5 seconds."
"Yeah, hard pass." *switches over to Rachel Quaintance podcast*
