Happy Birthday MTV

MTV turns 30 today! I remember when MTV was celebrating its 20th birthday, but my parents remember the first day.

MTV has been an American icon of "cool" since it first hit the air. Even though it isn't all about music like it was back in the day, it still caters to a younger audience. While I do wish there was more music on the network, I understand why they had to switch. Music videos are available on demand on sites like YouTube, so commercial-ridden videos just couldn't compete.

I'm glad MTV has been a part of my youth, and I will continue to watch.
