Is MTV planning market trance the way they market hip hop?

Somebody said that MTV is planning to modify their shows, hosts and focus to change the American audience away from Rap and Hip Hop to the more European electronica, glam-pop, trance, etc etc. If you think this is a good thing, think again. If this were to happen, there'd be trance versions of Chingy and Soulja Boy. I hate MTV with every fiber of my being and would hate to see this happen.

Didnt mtv do this during the 99 era?

If they did, it sure as heck didn't surpass the popularity of Britney Spears. We're talking about putting trance and the like on the Britney Spears (1999-2000) level, or at least that's what that guy told me.

What would be the economic gain for the US based music industry then? Not gonna happen

"Somebody" doesn't know jack fuckin shit I bet.

"As a sub note, I think it will be interesting to see if the abomination of MTV can actually influence the popular music culture of a certain era as it did in the past. They have plans to modify their shows, hosts and focus to change the American audience away from Rap and Hip Hop to the more European electronica, glam-pop, trance, etc etc. It could be a terrible thing if we just get stuck with a thousand Lady Gaga�s, but it could be amazing if that allows for a much higher talent pool in my flavor of the month genre; synthcore =)"

Well if MTV won't touch it, good. I don't want trance versions of Chingy and Soulja Boy ruining this great genre. You also don't think it'll sell as well as hip-hop? Maybe not. But if scene kids continue to grab a hold of this genre, it might give MTV evil ideas. I hate the fact that scene kids are giving trance a bad name.

MTV or no MTV, Hip-Hop is already fucking engraved in people's brains in the US.

Zac McGroarty sounds like a douche bag.

scene kids + electronic music = RAGEEEEEEE

I'm pretty sure that when he refers to trance he is refering to this:

No thanks. We don't want "trance" on MTV.

Yeah, really saddened me that a person I knew who raved since '98 would actually play this song to death last year. And he looked at me like "Why the fuck aren't you getting down to this?"

Scene kids don't watch mtv.

They do however listen to electro

even worse than when they listen to electro is when they start making it AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I didn't think MTV played music anymore. I haven't watched MTV in like 10 years but isn't it all just reality tv shows? If we got reality tv shows with the chicks from the basshunter vids then I wouldn't care .

I agree. I watched MTV a while ago and I never saw any music.
I told my brother and he was like "all they show are shitty teen age shows that teach the youth that only a person with money and bling bling is a human".

Why bother about MTV if we have TMF (Holland) and VIVA (Germany)?

TMF is a subsidiary of MTV. I see don't see much music being played on TMF either actually.. anyways, who cares?

Did you understand the original post?

If MTV was to start marketing dance music, which they probably wouldn't, my guess it would be dubstep.

MTV America is totally different from MTV Europe, which has always supported at least some Dance music.
There was a period of time around 97-99 that MTV in the US flirted with edgier Electronica that had commercial appeal. What I mean by that are songs like "Firestarter" by the Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers records, and even Faithless.

A lot of the big DJs in the realm of House and Trance are now producing more commercially-accessible music. I know you some of you guys hate crossover stuff, but it could work with the masses.
David Guetta's collaboration with Kelly Rowland is currently number one on the Pop charts in the UK, and just broke into the Top 40 Airplay chart in America. You might start seeing more of these collaborations taking place.
The biggest benefactors of such a movement could be a new generation of young up and coming talented DJ/producers who will know how to properly market themselves as Rock stars.
