It’s basically what they have been. They’re nothing like the old VH1. They play old MTV shows like 120 minutes, headbangers ball, and pop-up video. I was a teenager in the 1980’s, so I enjoy watching some of it once in a great while.

(Surprised babbling and stammering) You mean MTV is actually going to devote itself to (extreme dramatic closeup) actual music again?

I was a teenager in the '90s, but I’d rather listen to '80s music than '90s music (you guys had it so good with Cyndi Lauper, The Police and Duran Duran… what did we ‘90s teens get? Crash Test Dummies, Nirvana, Vanilla Ice and the terror that was Sugar Ray… :nope: ). I loved Pop Up Video back in the day… going to have to catch the new channel and see if it lives up to the ol’ Nostalgia Filter

That’s funny, I grew up in the 1980’s (well, late 70’s to early 80’s let’s say) and felt (and still feel for the most part) the 1970’s music was much better. I hate synth-based electronic pop music with drum machines.

VH1 Classic became unwatchable when Viacom dumped the rotating block of themed videos (80’s, rock, etc.) and just like any Viacom owned channel (TV Land, CMT, etc.), it’s a shell of it’s former self. I’m seriously considering dumping Dish and going with Sling TV and Netflix.
