Marketing Television Too!
MTV's brand for viewers with slightly higher IQs. Through filler and commercials, somehow manages to stretch appx. 5 hours worth of programming into a 24 hour period. With the ailing economy and with Viacom's financial losses, MTV Networks formats this way in order to save money.

A marketing gimmick created by media companies and advertisers to boost ratings/sales. Nobody cares about college basketball during the regular season, then suddenly everyone on CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX is talking about the tournament. It's all hype, designed so that people will get hooked from the start, then watch til the Final Four and the final winner.
Dude #1: March Madness Baby! March Madness Baby!
Dude #2: Shut up dumbass, I'm trying to watch the Rockets game.

The decade following the 1990s, currently in progress, and on course to becoming one of the worst, most meaningless and culturally empty decades in American history.

Money To Viacom
A brand which was purchased by Viacom in the late 1990s, which was also around the same time MTV's complete identity began to change, leaving viewers feeling alienated from something that was once a big part of their lives. Generation Xers complain and write harsh negative definitions about this brand on urbandictionary, and they are all pretty much accurate. The only reason we don't see huge rebellions against the current MTV is because most Generation Xers are too old to really care anymore, and the younger generation doesn't know any different so they accept it.

A mobile communication device.
Once a status symbol for the upper class, but now a way to identify the teenage children of lower class people.

I went to the movie theater the other day and I felt like I was walking through a cell phone jungle.

Another band that will be forgotten in a couple years. They are "used" by the music industry when they are marketed toward 12-20 year old girls and boys who happen to enjoy the emo/fabri-punk genre to begin with. They are adored by screaming fans in that age demographic, which means the music executives are doing their job well.
