MODERATORS
Which one gave us MTV and which one made MTV suck?
Actually both of those were boomers. The original format was created by a baby boomer and the Real World was too. Gen X just watched MTV growing up.
We also watched it fall apart while we were growing up.
I remember when M2 debuted with the idea that it would just play music videos, you know ... like MTV used to.
I didn't mind when MTV stopped playing music; Rob & Big, Viva la Bam, and Pimp my Ride were very entertaining and helped define my latter teenage years. The day MTV2 just became just MTV with rearranged timeslots was the beginning of the end. And now MTV is just The Ridiculousness Network now. It's practically the only thing they air these days.
To be clear, MTV/VH1 were created by one ot the Beatles. Definitely boomer gen.
Boomers and probably gen x, ironically enough. All the founders with given DoBs are either the silent gen or boomers and the guy who was head of programming during the sixteen and pregnant era is either gen x or aging very differently from the rest of us
Maybe you could define gen x by still watching TV in 2025 ... 🤔 Millennials the last ones watching traditional TV and then going to online only.
