The End of a Not Very Interesting Era

Back in the late 90's, I found myself hanging out with new high school graduates and elementary school kids (long story). Because I was basically regressing 10 years, I also found myself watching MTV's TRL...a lot (I can still do the dance routines to Britney's "Sometimes" and *NSYNC's "Bye, Bye, Bye." Is this something to be proud of? Not really, but hey, let's see you try it, Judgey McJudgeypants). Anywho, news today is MTV will air the final episode of TRL in November. Now, I haven't watched the daily video countdown show seriously since Carson Daly was the host, so I'm not totally invested or anything, but it's still a little sad...especially since the TRL hour was the only time MTV (aka The Hills TV) plays videos anymore (even if they are incredibly short and screamed over most of the time). So, I will mourn just a little...as another part of my childhood dies...or my early 20's anyway. Why do you have to be so factcheckery? Gah!
