Well, the people's choice award went to Good Charlotte, which was cool. I thought Eminem was going to win it, but out of all of them up for that award, I thought GC has the lowest chance, but apparantly I was wrong. I don't care much about the VMAs anyway (especially since stuff like 50 Cent winning out over Evanescence and All American Rejects happens) but that's just me, I know some of you are into 50 and Eminem, so don't flame me, it just so happens I am not.

Good Charlotte is horrible. All American Rejects are okay, but damn! Good Charlotte... 
MTV has become such a joke in the last 8 or 10 years that it's even pointless to discuss, heh heh.

Agreed...anyone's who ever listened to REAL punk (Dropkick Murphys, etc.) can tell you that this shopping-mall sugar-punk stuff (GC, Blink 182, etc.) is a slap in the face to the pioneers of the genre.

EmpTV has kinda always been a joke... the scary part is that now it has a huge influence on what gets played, who makes money, and what kinds of bands get signed in the music industry. It's a vicious circle. I'd go off on a 10-pg. rant about it, but I've irritated enough people for one day with my rambling.

ARGH! I had a long reply typed up, and Safari crashed... again. This kind of shit never happened to me during the beta, why is 1.0 so flakey?
Anyway, yeah, MTV always has been a joke, but in the early-mid 90s, a lot of music I liked was in the mainstream, so it wasn't so bad for me, heh heh.
I went on to rant about how nothing new or innovative is ever shown on MTV, and you need to find alternative ways to find it... like file sharing. Which leads to more problems! Blah. I don't want to retype it all... grr.

Of course... but every time I go to write another reply, I never think of that! Grr... right now I'm going to make sure to copy this before I hit preview or post, though...

I turn 19 in a week, and yet my lack of understanding of the new generation of young teens and why they like what they do... with their bad hip-hop music performed by artists who have more bullets in their body than they do brain cells, and their skanky pop singers... I feel like I'm an old man already. NOT COOL.

Heh, I knew that'd come up. But I still like Good Charlotte. Besides, pretty much the only punk music I consider punk is The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, and The Clash. Like I said, everyone has their opinions and I esecially didn't want this "they aren't really punk" crap to come up, so lets not start it. At least Metallica played the end of the show. I love Metallica.

I don't like the VMAs, or TRL, or hell, even MTV. These award shows, I think, are nothing more than the tools of the music industry that tries to tell us what we *should* like. As for TRL, I don't even think viewer opinions matter. I think all of the ranks are determined by a guy behind a desk who tries to figure out what can be sold.
My thoughts exactly. I think tv and music would be a lot better off if MTV never existed.
As for whoever posted the live105 link, thats pretty good stuff. I still like http://www.kexp.org in seattle better though, if you go to their site you can check out their playlists.
I also like KEXP because it has different types of music for each dj, and i believe that it is one of the original alternative stations (its been going for about 30 years as far as i know)

Heh... I remember going to WHFStival (a concert held in Washington DC that has all kind of musical talent, including a lot of rock and some techno (Fatboy Slim was there!). Anyway, at that particular concert, Good Charotte was on of the secondary stages. Normally, second stage is a symbol of being a lesser known band. There is kind of a magic to those bands. But now, since Good Charlotte has turned 'pop' (evident with songs like "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous), some of that magic is gone.
