Couldn't have ended fast enough. To me MTV was the television equivalent of the "Top 40" broadcast on the FM radio stations on Sunday mornings; garbage music made for the masses that had zero appeal for me. Then MTV became soap opera shows for the truly dumb masses, and by then they had already lost me. At this moment I couldn't tell you if MTV was living or dead, and I don't really care either way.
My theory of cable evolution postulates that all cable channels/streaming services, all other things being equal, will inevitably and inexorably, become identical. All those niche channels from the first big cable boom of the '80s have evolved to dispense the same type of lowest-common-denominator slop. All those news channels that popped up in the 90s now dispense identical shrieking swill, differingly only slightly in the amount of peroxide applied to the heads of the hosts. And is there any real difference in the various streaming services that pop up like worms on the sidewalk after a summer rain and end up the same way?

This has, for the most part, happened in the Los Angeles County/Orange County areas of southern California during the last 10 or so years. Before that, you could tell which station you were listening to simply by tuning in because of the songs/bands they played. Lately, I don't even recognize the names of most of the bands, and all of the music sounds too similar to necessitate a determination between bands and I just don't care. Yes, apparently I got old while I was at home trying to take care of my late wife, but my statement still stands--I just don't care about these "new" bands because they all sound alike.
