Honestly, MTV lost its way when it ditched music videos.
Gen Xers were the first MTV generation, so I’m old enough to remember when Michael Jackson broke the color barrier at MTV.

I remember maybe three or four years ago someone introduced me to yarvin and said among other things that what makes him so dangerous is he’s really steeped in history and philosophy. Sophisticated stuff. So I read some stuff and well, no. This is the stuff you say after you read one thing …
Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”
Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

The Kennedy Center adopted bylaws earlier this year that limited voting to presidentially appointed trustees — not those designated by Congress — a move that preceded the dubious vote to add Trump's name to the center.
Legal experts say the move may conflict with the institution's charter.
