MTV Music - The Old Music Video Network That Doesn't Plays Music Videos
When I was a teenager, it took a lot to peel me away from watching MTV music videos. I loved music, and I couldn't get enough of the fancy videos and the larger than life musicians that populated them.
As time went on though, it became more and more apparent that though the M in MTV stood for music, it wasn't actually their main focus. After a while, I saw less and less music, and more and more game shows. I can't even watch the station today, though I am aware that I'm now out of their target age group.
These days, MTV music isn't what it used to be, if you can find it at all. Their program is full of reality shows and specials, and discovering music videos is hard to do.
Even worse, the MTV music of today seems to be nothing more than noise, though I guess that just makes me ancient right? Most of it wouldn't even be labeled as music, but I am conscious that this is just my opinion. I know that those who are younger than me enjoy it; it is just not for me.
I haven't thought a lot about MTV music videos in a long time, but I've started to think about it again. My daughter is getting older and even though I hate the thought of it, I know she's going to outgrow groups like the Wiggles soon enough, and she will probably be listening to music that is made for older kids.
What scares me is that I can't find any MTV music videos that I'd really want her watching. I guess you could call me over protective, but I think kids are growing up too fast, and I want her to appreciate the freedom of childhood for as long as she can before she is aware of things like sex and trying to act and appear older.
The content of most of the MTV music videos makes my skin crawl. Females have come a long way in the past decades, but you would never know it by watching some of these videos.
Self respect seems to have flown out the window, but to be fair, this has always been the case with most of the MTV music videos that have come and gone in the past. I suppose it just seems to be getting worse, and the depravity seems to have gotten worse.
I don't want her identifying with any rock music band or kids rock music. I know I cannot keep her from seeing it forever, but I hope I can hold her off long enough to show her how a real woman should live.
And if one day she aspires to be a musician, I'll expose her to rock music lyrics online where I can keep track of what she sees and hears.
