"MTV" like it was in the 80s and most of the 90s will never be back, because like you said it's already there on the web...but at the same time it's highly likely that an actual MTV as a new network would get better cable TV ratings than a 47th channel devoted to 24/7 low budget reality tv shows. When MTV/VH1 first went to exclusively reality TV programming there were only one or two other cable channels doing it, MTV basically started the whole trend themselves. Now there are dozens of reality channels, I guess the difference is MTV is a reality channel specifically going for young people. I still find it hard to believe with hundreds of garbage channels that there's no place for a music video channel, I mean some of these cable networks have to have tiny viewerships yet they exist.
When I travel abroad it seems most other countries have a music video channel. When we were in Greece and Spain somewhat recently we put on some their music video channels pretty much any time we were in our hotel rooms and the same channel would be playing at most bars and coffee shops we went into. It's not like they don't all have youtube as well.
That's not entirely true, if the information was obtained directly from the hospital or one of it's employees, under HIPAA, they are not allowed to disclose that information as it was illegally obtained.
That horrible "Work" song by Rihanna has been #1 for 8 weeks now on the Hot 100, but you're not incorrect about the Gomez song otherwise.
Those are 2 bad songs. Young people these days just don't like their ears very much.
Don't just thinkg young people today have bad tastes.
Itty Bitty Teeny Weeny Yellow Polk-a-dot Bikini was a #1 song...

I refuse to listen to this logical argument because I am too old. I went to high school in the 80's and should know all about bad music. I just don't want to acknowledge the truth within your point.
Music is like wine. Explore, find stuff you like, and enjoy.
Present or past music has a lot in there that's amazing. Slamming new music or trying to put songs into top "whatever" lists makes no sense.
But neither does the concept of a Rock n Roll HOF.....goddam Babyboomers
BLASPHEMER!
Actually, what I remember about that song is in the video, the singer did not shave her armpits. Evidently that was a thing in Germany in the 80s. Neat.
So was this song:

I was listening to the 90's station on XM the other day and this song came on right after "Smells Like Teen Spirit". That's almost a literal roller-coaster ride.
You're right. I better stop. I've been sitting at my desk streaming Prince songs all day. I'm feeling pretty down about this and I guess I'm using humor (as bad as my humor is) as a defense mechanism.Did anybody see next week's cover of the New Yorker? this is pretty awesome.Stop polluting the Prince thread. Please!
