This was brilliant! As someone who grew up with strict parents who sheltered me from everything pop culture, I sadly missed out on a lot of this fun. The first controversy I remember being present for was the iconic “Miley what’s good?!” And I’m not afraid to say it shook me to my core and I’ll never be the same. It’s surprising to admit, because we already have enough of this in politics, but i really hope the vmas bring mess back this year! 🤣

Lmaooo this was even better than I thought it would be 😂. And in summation, “what a valiant roar, what a bland goodbye” (for now). I really hope the girlies can help revive the culture at least a little bit this year. Thanks for the yummy treat!

Kurt Colbain won the IDGAF war. Justice for Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Manifest awkward camera pans this year. God bless all three members of the Short n Sweet love triangle will be there…

OMG!! Standing ovation!! I laughed so many times during this; literally insane amount of research and the delivery Madeline! Just an incredible journey down memory lane and what a fun post! We watched MTV all the time; a lot of music videos you mentioned are etched into my brain.

But seriously-- this post is sooooooo good! Thank you!

Happy Birthday to the Lizard Review to both Lizard and Mason Review and last but not least, Sir Chester Review! Thank you for giving the unwashed masses a history lesson. VMAs was always so iconic to the culture and while it will always have an inherent janky quality to it, i think last year and this year are trending in the right direction. I’m seated, firmly. VMAs save us from this political hellscape 🙏🏼

What if Sabrina performs Taste and at the end it’s her and Camilla grinning at each other instead of Jenna Ortega…just a thought! 😹

I have not thought about Triumph in a decade. Cannot believe we allowed that to be popular culture, very dark sided. Thanks for the nostalgia and cringe, Happy one year Lizard Review!!
