Dogstar, while I like watching a music video every once in awhile, for the most part I definitely agree with you. I remember Steven Tyler of Aerosmith once said (I believe in a commercial for MTV, no less) that he was angry he had to paint a picture for his music to get across to people. I think he's got a great point. MTV has contributed greatly to today's youth being a generation that communicates through things visual. And while there's nothing wrong with visual communication, in and of itself, I worry sometimes whether some people weaned on MTV even have the capacity to communicate (or care) otherwise.
