In the UK it is an alternative music video channel i.e rock and indie. In Germany and central europe it is a 'pop' music video channel and in America it is mainly what is known in the UK as 'black' or 'urban' music.

In America: A so-called 'alternative' music channel.

In UK: Thanks to SkyDigital, one of the only truly alternative music channels devoted to rock and indie.

mtv2 is a demon channel. it turns bands into being really good into sellouts. even if its a "whole nother channel" it still goes on to mtv when the video gets popular enough. why must they do that to so many good bands ? examples...afi and brand new.....
hey didn't afi used to be the most awesome band in the world?

yeah but then their video got on mtv2 and loads of dumbasses have acces to them and are gonna start liking them after all these years.
