That was when MTV was not SJW. I use my remote control to change the channel when I see that PC network on my TV screen.

Between RC and Popup Videos, it was a grand time!

What was better than getting in the tweet bar they had ?

The decline began when "The Real World" debuted. We have them to thank for the plague of reality shows that soon followed.

And yet I watched, season one iirc, Puck, Rachel, etc?

But oh did they change our viewing choices, never would have thought I'd see a show about wife swaps being made. :o :o :o

At least, they weren't real swaps. You had to watch the polygamy shows for those.

There's at least one reality show about a guy who has a few "sister wives". I'm not talking about race.

Ever been through Colorado City, Arizona - just over the Utah border?

Yeah, very creepy vibe...

Music died because of file sharing. Took the money out of the business. The 70s and 80s has dozens of genres, and 1000s of bands. Now we’re lucky if we get a Bieber ever few years.

Movies have been a joke since the advent of inexpensive CGI. Now everything is CGI and pure crap.

Look what big tech is doing. Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, used to have to innovate and succeeded when they made new products people wanted. Now they just innovate different scams to force people to “upgrade”.

Same crap is going on in the medical industry. Doctors know nothing about health and wellness. They simply know how to write prescriptions. The choice based on which bimbo pharma rep buys their office the best lunch. Surgical medicine is a bit more legit, although even that has its scams. Carpotunnel surgury anyone?

It’s all a product of the worthless education industry and modern media that don’t teach critical thinking, but rather brainwash fools into what to believe.

Millenials are a lost cause. But gen Z is coming and they’re bringing fresh thinking and a revolt against modern political correctness and inside the box thinking.

Look at all the horseshift stories just this year that the media pushed so hard that have fallen completely apart. Russia collusion. Covington kids. Jussie Smullet. This house of cards is ready to fall.

I have yet to visit. I feel bad for those Mormon girls who are forced to marry much older men. It would be like you and your high school friends being forced to marry your lunchroom's middle aged lunch ladies while the cute girls your age are banished. That's life in a fundamentalist (no fun there) LDS cult.

That's a great post, and I disagree with just one thing, and that's extremely depressing. I'll be even more pessimistic and say that Generation Z is no more conservative and/or traditional than Millennials. Keep in mind that the oldest Millennials are well into their thirties now. Those blue-haired college kids, who embrace socialism while they eschew Martin Luther King Jr. as a White supremacist, are in Generation Z.

You brought up a pet peeve of mine. I hate those commercials from pharmaceutical companies, and they make me actually miss the juvenile ads of our youth. These commercials seem to be set in the same parallel universe, one that has a soap opera fake vibe, where the citizens happily pop pills to cope with various disorders that few individuals actually have, and the "medicine" has *way* more costs (hemophilia, lymphoma, hallucinations, suicide) than benefits, and you need a new pill to counteract the first pill. I actually saw a commercial for a pill to help sufferers who cry or laugh uncontrollably, and I first thought that it was an ad for a new comedy!

And look at the minor flop the new iPhones have been. Folks are getting sick of being bled.

These commercials are disturbing in that they craft an alternate 'legit drug' reality for, of all demographics, boomers!

We've gone straight from "The Valley of the Dolls" to some benighted pharmaceutical stage play of the "Golden Girls" with "Don't Worry, Be Happy" as the new theme song.

Pass the Depends and Otsezla, I feel a fork off reality is just around the corner. ::)
