Prince has contributed so much to music over the years. He has fans today that grew up with him like me .Some of his fans even have families of their own now. Still, there are people out there that don't even know who Prince is! Is it sad 2 U that people under 18 don't know all that he has been and is now to music?

i'm under 20 and i heard him 4 the 1st time when i was 9-10 and have been in love ever since.

not all of us have bad taste

i became a muscian b/c of him, he really is a wonder, i only wish i had been able 2 grow up with him growing to who he is now

Prince is that confused child on his bed listening to a voice in his head. He doesn't know where it is going to take him, and he is not sure if he should go. All he know's is how it makes him feel, like a dream of...

who indeed

Obviously...
he's that skinny MFer wit' the high voice.

The guy who wouldn't get a video from his new album aired on MTV even if it's a top 10 hit.

Actually, I was channel surfing the other day, and I seen MTV. MTv has a new promo where they say "dispite what anyone says we don't play music". Or it was quite simular to that statement. I got really pissed off.

What sense does it make to call yourself Music Television, and not play videos?

I understand their start, but I think they should change the channel's name to something like

Idiot Television. They could be known as Itv.

People, the question was-Is it sad 2 U that people under 18 don't know who Prince is or was to music. Pay attention!! Now begin again, again, again!!

Is it sad? From what I know of popculture and the willingness of the youth to think they know it all while easily being lead where the makerters want them to go, I would say no. There has alway been a slim few gifted youths, and I am sure they are smart enough to find their way to prince.

Is it sad that the idiot youth isn't into prince? What kind of question is that?

there's a lot of young prince fans on here. I'm happy about that. but does it make me sad that some young kids never heard of prince. ...no, not at all.

So, Ur calling them idiots? My question was referring 2 the fact that alot of young people under 18 have not been exposed to the music of Prince or other good artists and 2 me that's sad. The Pop and Rap artist of today don't seem to be creative and original and in that sense, I think that younger people are missing out on the great music of Prince and other artists. If music is good, then I luv it. I don't discriminate. If it's trash then call it trash!
I thought it was a damn good question .

I didn't really discover Prince till I was 19 and lots of people discover him later on....I think any kid who never heard of Prince growing up is bound to hear of him eventually and take their own course of action as to how much more they'd like to know.

I think they moved all the vid's over to MTV2, sucks though, I miss the vid's.....it's lame if ya ask me!

wait until that cover or Sex Shooter comes out and shoots up the charts. And everybody will be walking around singing it without knowing a damn thing about the original versions. That'll piss me off. Then of course they'll be some damn rapper on the song. Fucking it up even more.

Me and 3 of my 15 year old friends are all Prince fans!

Two of us are guitarists because of Prince.

I have heard that they hope to get people to request or pay for MTV2 from their cable companies so that they can then stop playing videos there and put videos on MTV3. This reall gets me
