I Heart Chaos

That’s right, kids, once upon a time MTV actually made contributions to music culture. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the MTV show that managed to keep people at home on Saturday nights.

Apparently, this was the only reason to watch the VMAs this year.

Our long national nightmare is over: MTV is canceling Jersey Shore

After six seasons (five too many), MTV is finally canceling Jersey Shore. What with the original cast going on to do other frightful things like reproduce, it’s time to close the doors on the Jersey Shore house. Obama killed bin Laden, and now Jersey Shore is also ending on his watch.

MTV News from 1991 on San Francisco’s emerging technopagan culture

Photos of Rihanna smoking blunts at Coachella “spark controversy”, Rihanna forgets to give a fuck

As if it’s some sort of surprise or big fucking deal that a musician— or anyone really— smokes weed, especially at a music festival, MTV published photos of singer Rihanna smoking blunts at the Coachella festival (above), saying that it “sparked controversy”. The best part was Rihanna’s response on Twitter, which gives me a newfound respect for her.

Jon Stewart interviews Quentin Tarantino in 1994 about Pulp Fiction

In 1994, Jon Stewart on The Jon Stewart Show interviews some up-and-coming writer and director named Quentin Tarantino that just did a movie called “Pulp Fiction”. Oddly enough, while Jon Stewart looks so damn young in 1994, Quentin Tarantino looks exactly the same as he does now.

Meet 2NE1, the best new band in the world

Or at least according to MTV, this K-Pop group is the best new band in the world, though your mileage may vary.

IHC TV reviews: Beavis and Butthead “Werewolves of Highland/Crying”

It’s been 14 years since Beavis and Butthead were last on the air and last night, the duo returned to MTV and other than a change in what they’re watching on TV, it’s almost like they never left. If you had any doubts for some reason that Mike Judge has lost his edge in that time, let me assure you that Beavis and Butthead is just as hilarious now as it used to be, maybe even a little moreso.

MTV makes all episodes of Liquid Television available online

I mean yeah, it would be even cooler if they were making new Liquid Television episodes, but having all of the Liquid TV episodes available online is still pretty fucking cool. Time to fire one up, kick back and watch my eyeballs melt out of my skull.

MTV talks about this thing called “the internet” in 1995

Did Kurt Loder just compare the internet a fad, like CB radios? Yes. Yes he did.
