More on the irrelevance of MTV
The trends of today, probably because of the connectedness of the world via the internet, and what I believe to be the the Kingdom of God making its way throughout the earth, are to think of others and put them before yourself. This has been explored by various types of social, media, and entertainment mediums such as U2, Nickelback, Linkin Park, The Disney Channel, Fox news, the NFL and the NBA, CNN, George Clooney,American Idol, and slowly but surely, the church.
One of the things I briefly mentioned in this post about the VMA’s and more specifically, MTV, was their coming irrelevance if they don’t change their ways. In a world of less selfishness and more love, MTV has become a symbol of a me-first mentality that started in the 2nd half of the 20th century and finally ended as the focal point of a generation (though it certainly still continues) at the end of the same century.
Sorry MTV, a cable channel that focuses on reality shows where the whole point is to see girls in bikinis and shirtless guys trying to tempt them into cheating on their significant others are no longer of interest to a new generation that wants to see something real and loving. Perhaps its time to…
once again be a channel about music?
