We are in the timeline where MTV stopped playing music, the White Stallions never formed, and Bill and Ted didn't write the song to unite all of humanity.

The WGA strike of 2007-08 saw a brief increase in investment to reality TV shows one of which was The Apprentice, which spurred DT back into the pop culture sphere. I am fully confident in the belief that so much of what we're dealing with politically today would have been avoided if WGA members just got what they were owed.
Wait a second. Where exactly is this airport located? Why is there air there?
It's daylight but you can clearly see space, so I don't think there's much air there. The one in the air appears to be using rocket propulsion. Not sure how they brake to land though.
How dare you.. Clone high and Undergrads were fantastic shows
I thought the M standed for mmmmmmm lets do somthing else there aint nothin on the TV
Those SSTs constantly blow out every window in the city. Seriously, there's a reason this picture never came to fruition. And it's because the FAA did a 6-month study of sonic booms in Oklahoma City, and that study was cut off after only a few weeks after citizens angrily called their representatives.
Reality television ruined our culture. I stand by this.
I've been saying this for ages, yes. I think reality talk shows started the downfall, like springer. I grew up around a lot of trashy people and I swear reality shit tv like this convinced them that acting up in public is not just normal but acceptable.
I think they might have overplayed Beavis and Butthead. Now we're living it
There's something to this. Not only did MTV stop playing videos, but shows like The Real World and Road Rules are the direct precursors to the reality TV movement that gave us things like Survivor and the Kardashians.
Real talk, the switch away from playing music videos actually legitimately impacted culture profoundly
Wwaaaaoooowwwww! I forgot about tfe 00s obsession with reality TV. I hated it. Also, I forgot about Road Rules! Now I have to go watch an episode.
I don't know what happened in the rest of the world, but MTV Germany started showing the kind of Anime that didn't fit the children's afternoon program of other stations in the early 2000s. That's how I got to know things like Ghost in the Shell.
I remember watching golden boy on there, it was great.
I accidentally downloaded the anime when I tried to watch the live action and was pleasantly surprised with how good it was...my girlfriend on the other hand hated it but whatever at least I still love ghost in the shell.
Don’t forget what they took from you.
When Beavis and Butthead originally aired, the duo skewered the music videos on MTV. Parents groups hated the show, it was the stupidest thing on television.
When the show rebooted in the 2010s, there weren't enough music videos so they started skewering other MTV content: teen mom, jersey shore, etc.
It was amazing, because Beavis and Butthead were exactly the same, but as a viewer you realized that Beavis and Butthead were now the SMARTEST thing on MTV.
Thanks to a single tiktok I have a 4 year old that walks around calling people Cornholio, and TP for Bunghole. Its some of the nicest stuff that comes out of school and kindy.
Look up "ABC rage"
I'm genuinely surprised Rage is still around, practically untouched too format-wise.
You legend. Rage is the best
