What's Most Insidious About Mtv Is That It Commodifies Precisely Those Things That Young People Believe Are Subversive. In Other Words, Subversity Itself Has Become A Commodity. It's All A Way To Trick Young People Into Believing That There's Something Unique About What They Do, But This Is All Completely A Corporately Designed Maneuver.
