MTV

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.
Person 1: I want my MTV.

Person 2: Hop into this time machine and I'll transport you back to 1993.

00s

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.
I'm so glad I graduated from high school in the 1990s and not the 00s.

march madness

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.

mtv2

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.
I better hurry up and watch MTV2 now before they change the format to Newlyweds 24 hours a day.

cell phone

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.

TRL

An abbrevation for Total Request Live

A one hour long commercial disguised as a show. Has nothing to do with music, celebrities, or requests. An easy way for Viacom executives to manipulate the minds of the 10-18 yr old masses in order to mold them all into sheep. Viacom is friends with the recording industry, so the 20 seconds of each video on the Top 10 Countdown you see is intended to sell music quickly, hot off the press. This keeps the media companies from losing profits while the economy is bad.
OMG! TRL is on! I can't wait to go to Sam Goody tonight and buy whatever music MTV tells me to. I'm so young, only 14, so I have no frame of reference, sense of history, or idea of how the world operates.
