Justin Bieber, Megan Thee Stallion and Olivia Rodrigo among top nominees in MTV VMAs’ return to Barclays Center

How, oh how, in the name of all that is good, does this thing still exist? And WHY? How can a station that shows no music videos present awards for music videos? Exactly where are these "nominated" videos being shown and what right does MTV have to give out awards for them? At this point shouldn't it be presented on Youtube as the "Youtube Video Awards" (YVA) or something? It's almost like a satire to have a video awards show on a network that shows no music videos, and really hasn't in any great capacity for over 20 years. Nobody that is hip will show up for this joke of a thing. I give it a big thumbs down.

It doesn't mean that much to me anymore.  MTV used to be about talent vs now which is about who's the most popular.

Looks like Music Television is rebuilding the brand, what with this and the return of Cribs.

Maybe they will bring back VJ Martha Quinn :-*.

Not really, because the VMAs never went away in the first place, They just ceased to be relevant, like the rest of MTV.

I think so too.  They've been trying to be relevant ever since they stopped playing actual music on their channel. ::)  ::)  ::)  ::) Much Music, christened Much, is trying to stay relevant as well.  ::) ::) ::) ::)

I sense some disdain for mTV in these boards.  :-\\

Not disdain really.  MTV and the advent of music video haven't been relevant for a very long time.  I'm more disappointed in MTV that their music video awards were about who had the best music videos and now their music video awards reek of who's the most popular?

There are very few things I bother with on MTV anymore (VMA, Movie Awards, Unplugged, the TRL reboot that ended up going nowhere). My cousin, who's more into that sort of thing, will show me the occasional episode or viral video from the Ridiculousness "franchise." (Rob Dyrdek is no Bob Saget.  ;D) Even when I do watch something like Wild'n Out, it's usually on VH1, which I seldom watch anymore (Nowadays, I've only really watched Martin reruns).

These are sometimes the only music-adjacent shows on MTV anymore, so I'll take what I can get. The mother station might not show music videos anymore, but MTV Live and MTV Classic still do.
