YouTube struck down Lauryn hill’s live mtv unplugged and I want to die

MTV officially shuts down tonight. I guess Spotify Premium killed the Music Video Star.

Goodbye a generation a visual influence. MTV will shut down many of its last dedicated 24-hour music channels after today, Dec. 31. #Kirkland #arthistory #IwantmyMtv https://t.co/1ivyihvwqh

Now that we know that @MTV is shutting down on Dec 31st...I think the only acceptable thing that they can play is @thebuggles1 "Video killed the radio star" as the last ever video song. #mtv #thebuggles #videokilledtheradiostar

One month from today, we will see one of the (if not) largest closure of music channels globally. MTV's music channels will permanently close down and all music programming will cease (with the exception of the USA), leaving millions without an MTV that plays music.

Hey @JioHotstar I’m really disappointed that the MTV Unplugged section has been removed from the app/site. It was one of the best music archives you had. Why take it down without any notice? Please bring it back! 🎶 #bringbackmtvunplungged

Now my TL is starting with multiple ppl thinking the entire network of MTV is shutting down, and everyone is in their feelings 😂 Guys it's not,go look online and read that it is about a handful of European channels.

No surprise that MTV is shutting down its operations in Europe and let’s be real, it’s only a matter of time before the same happens elsewhere. The network’s been on a slow decline since the 2010s, ever since YouTube and streaming took over how we discover and consume music.

Network on a down spin. Trending off the board (kinda) like MTV…..!!!🥶

120 Minutes IMO had its ups & down regarding the latest video playlist. Most of the first 60 minutes were good. Then, it got rocky. @MTVClassic ACTUALLY got it right by airing Fiona Apple in this block because she was ALWAYS aired on ROCK stations & was always Rock on MTV.👍
