I want my MTV2

Wish they had MTV2 at my health club. I've been putting in some treadmill hours and they have 7 TV screens with nothing but crap programming. Three of the screens play MTV (not 2) and that's the best of the lot. In the last 4 weeks I've only seen a single solitary interesting video, that was "Starlight" by the Superman Lovers. What in the world happened?!!! Music videos used to be so cool. In the 80s I used to spend hours thinking about the interesting shots I could put together and props I could use. I'm sure interesting, creative stuff is out there, just not in the mainstream. This seems to be an uncreative time for popular culture. Cothing designs are blase blends of the past few decades, car designs are bland (minis and smart cars are the exception). I'm ready for something new, exciting, creative and aesthetically pleasing.
