Music Television.
Channel that was launched on 8/1/1981 on cable. It used to show non-stop music videos and had 5 veejeays in the early 80s. The 80s and early 90s were pretty good for MTV, until it suddenly became more about teen issues than music. Now it's one of the dumbest channels out there.

MTV should be against the law, they call themselves music television and they don't even play music, they have shitty shows like Cribs and when I thought they couldn't get any lower they pulled out a show call My Super Sweet 16 out of their asses, the worst show on television to date.
If other places acted like MTV
-Hello is this the pizza parlor?
-Yes
-Can I have a pepperoni pizza?
-Whoa, whoa, we don't sell pizza, we sell racoon hats and eyepatches, if you're hungry call a book store.

Cable television station originally devoted to showing music videos, hence the abbreviation for "Music Television." Over twenty years, it gradually phased out music except for a tiny bit of top-40 pop and rap, replacing videos with cartoons, game shows, reality shows, and other gen-x/y pseudo-hipster fare.

The brainwashing, twelve-year-old-and-younger station that hides behind a slick image. They think they're so cool that they decide what's cool.

The most disgusting, filthy, and degrading channel ever to have existed. (At least in more recent years.) The nature of MTV's shows tend to glorify the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, over-tanned, Californian aesthetic, that of which is more often than not, accompanied by an extremely ridiculous lack of intellectual quality. They exploit this aesthetically-fitting persona to its narcissistic audience that loves nothing more than to surround themselves in their own pathetic auras, namely, that of their identical friends and the stars of MTV's supposed "reality" shows. For this reason, MTV fans watch in awe as blonde girls say the word "like" precisely 52 times in one scene. Fans enjoy watching people just like them shop, gossip, and degrade themselves on national television. Fans enjoy watching (and thus making the shows possible)these over-privileged, melodramatic teenagers complain about how much their lives suck, when truth be told, at that exact instant, millions of real people are dying of starvation and poverty. It is a shame that these super-stereotypical people are worthy of their own shows and it is an even bigger shame that the once righfully-named Music Television chooses to produce shows of such a nature. But perhaps the biggest disappointment of all is in humanity and its truly enigmatic interest in such brain-washing trash. MTV is a waste of electricity.

As described previously 'The antichrist, the reason music is dead'. They used to show Ok music up until recently when they've become more concerned with episodes of 'Pimp my ride' and re-runs of 'Newlyweds'. If you watch MTV you are no better than that 3 month old ribena stain on my carpet.
