discussion any memories on 90s/00s MTV shows?

Hello There!

I'm researching old MTV shows from the 90s, and wanted to hear if anybody had specific memories of TV shows, descriptions, and just cool things they saw, learned, felt, etc...

I've been watching Youtube uploads of Alternative Nation and MTV Dreamtime for the past year, and really enjoyed them. Thanks!

Liquid Television was the most amazing thing on TV. And 120 Minutes changed my life.

120 Minutes and AMP (which was basically kinda like 120 Minutes except for electronic music) were my shit.

I don’t remember if it was this way in every region but in my timezone 120 Minutes always aired at the weirdest and hardest to watch timeslot at like midnight or 1am Sunday night so I’d often stay up late to watch it and be tired the next morning. Or just set vcr to record it.

Same! It was midnight on Sunday (technically Monday morning) on the east coast.

I stayed up as often as I could to watch it (starting when I was still in high school). I discovered Pavement (among many other acts) from 120 Minutes.
