nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2005 I really don't care that much, and don't watch enough MTV to really have an opinion ... but how is it that there are different categories for rap, R&B, and hip-hop but just a generic "rock" for all of the variations of that genre? Shouldn't there be a metal category, or other sub-categories for rock, too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2005 I've wondered that myself. And on a side note, I saw an ad for some hippie show on MTV2; wasn't MTV2 supposed to be an "all-video" station? And best soundtrack for a video game?... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2005 "Hollaback Girl" is the biggest turd in the history of music. And I know there's some MCR hate on the board, but "Helena" is a pretty cool video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darthtiki 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2005 My prediction for the winners: In a shocking precedented move Jack Shit has swept the VMA's for the umpteenth year in a row. Even the show is shitty this year, P. Diddy as host. To quote Triumph "I didn't know wearing a suit was a skill" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you expect actual rock? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Headbangers Ball is Metal and comes on every saturday night. I wasn't so much complaining as I was just asking why would a regular MTV2 show get absolutely zero representation for an award designated specifically for that channel. Correct me if I am wrong but besides Headbangers ball which is actually a themed music show, the rest of the music on MTV is just random "MTV2 Music" played out in long 4 hour gaps...!?!
