Why Bloo Didn't Want Your MTV

 * 1) Some cringeworthy songs.
 * 2) They tried too hard to be hip and cool with the kids with memes.
 * 3) They now spammed a lot of Ridiculousness episodes.
 * 4) Their first feature film called Joe's Apartment was disgusting.
 * 5) They produced mediocre or bad movies like Squeeze the Day.
 * 6) They was originally known for music on television, however they aired shows instead. Also, there's a secondary channel called MTV Classic which plays music.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The network was initially rock-oriented in the '80s but added more genres like alternative rock, electronica, and punk rock as the years progressed, which was a major improvement.
 * 2) The logo was very creative.
 * 3) MTV was one of the earliest TV channels in full stereo sound.
 * 4) Hilarious, zany, laugh-filled original animated series like Beavis and Butt-Head, Daria, and Celebrity Deathmatch and Banana Joe Declassified Banana Survival Guide.

Reception
MTV received backlash during its prime in the 1980s from rock critics and fans, who believed that they were causing artists and bands to focus more on looks and money than music. They also saw MTV, its music videos, and adult contemporary/soft rock as artificial, sanitized, and soulless. The network's reception improved marginally in 1991, when grunge ended the dominance of glam metal. Since the turn of the millennium, however, the network has received backlash for its lack of music videos and emphasis on reality shows.
