Young people today have so many ways to spend their free time, it can be overwhelming. When I was around sixteen I devoted a lot of time to hanging out with my friends, and I was always making time to watch music videos. In fact, most of my time spent with friends was dedicated to MTV. When we weren't viewing the station we were talking about what we watch or what we wanted to watch next. Now that I'm older I can not believe I wasted so much time, but I remember it made me happy so I believe there is something to be said for that. In any case, at that moment in my life I could not envisage not watching MTV all the time, and now I could not tell you where it is on schedule.

My friends and I would watch music videos so often that we could tell you every little thing that we watched in the video. It was the time of the eighties hair groups, and there was always one guy in each group that we were so much in love with, though it was rarely the same guy for each of us. We would watch music videos late at night, and would eagerly await a new release. When I think back, I recognize there are worse things I could have been doing with my time.

Even though I do not watch music videos on MTV any longer, my boyfriend turns on some videos once in a while. We might watch some new stuff, and we also see music videos from when we were teenagers. It's almost embarrassing to watch them today, as it reminds me of how crazy I was about it. I look at the band members that I found so adorable back then, and I do not comprehend what I saw in those guys. I don't watch music videos any longer, but if they are on and something good comes on I like going down memory lane.

For the kids of today, there exist a lot of methods to watch music videos. MTV is still there, although I believe it is a joke now. It's become almost a parody of itself. If you are tired of the MTV programming like I am, you may find a different good place to watch music videos. Many artists now put their videos up online to be watched there. They do it for promotional reasons, just like the reasons they are played on TV music stations. So it seems there is a time for everything in life. Enjoy the present.
