120 Minutes is a television show in the United States dedicated to the alternative music genre. Over 2 hours, watch music videos featuring leftfield artists from electronic to alternative rock to hip-hop. - Komedie
I put this on at around 10 pm. Just let it play. As a 42 yr old, felt like I was back in high school on my 13” tv on a Friday night waiting for skinemax. Man I miss it.
Ugh- you just struck me in the heart with this comment. Same here man. Takes me back weekends in the 90s where my brothers and I would watch TGIF, then when that ended, watch late night MTV- 120 minutes, aeon flux, the maxx, head, beavis and butthead, Daria, the state, etc. Then around 11 or 12 at night, we'd flip to the public access channel to watch ECW hardcore wrestling. Glory days.
@@WaldoBagelTopper uffff. Man you and I could have been best friends in HS. Discussing all the aforementioned followed by “hey man, let me borrow your tool cd. I’ll give it to you after 4th period.” As we walk away in our JNCOs probably 🤣
Me too. 43 here, I used to watch "120 Minutes" that was back when they played actual music. The shows they had on like "Liquid Television" and "Beavis and Butthead" were pretty good. I think "The Real World" is what ruined Mtv and the rest of TV for that matter, it was the show that made "reality TV" popular.
I'm 42 as well and fell asleep to this on the weekends, so this is so nostalgic for me.
The scary part? This legit feels like yesterday.
Television used to be so cool. MTV was the best back then.
This is when MTV was MTV. 1998 was my junior year and had to be the best. Before social media was a thing. I feel bad for kids these days they will never get to experience the days when you could actually be free.
The summer of one of my favorite years of my life.
It's probably rose-tinted glasses, but _everything_ just seemed to be awesome in pop culture. Just so many great TV shows, movies, cartoons, albums across all music genres, video games, books, comics... The future seemed so exciting. If only we'd known lol.
That period between the fall of the Berlin Wall & 9/11 truly was a lost age that we didn't appreciate enough until it was all gone.
It’s not rose colored glasses. It was a great time to be alive and coherent
The 90s was very much like the 60s in terms of pop culture. Look at how awesome everything was. Hell even the commercials were amazing. Very full of flavor of all kinds. Sadly political correctness has killed off all of the flavor in the world.
It truly was. No rose-tinted glasses.
Not rose colored glasses, pop culture was very alive then compared to now. There's no pop culture now. It's dead.
It feels like when I was watching back in 1998. I'm back in my 20s!
i'm 39 years old and MAN. 1998 was the last normal year of my life (my dad died in 1999)...this took me back. Thank you.
Aired on my 17th birthday! Man, time flies.
Also, super weird to think of a time when Barenaked Ladies' "One Week" was a hip new track on 120 Minutes and not the thing I hear every time I go to the grocery store.
😂
Matt Pinfield interviewing Jerry Cantrell after a Mentos and Acne commercial is peak 90s.
😂
This makes me feel homesick. For a time we'll never get back.
We're so lucky to be able to get this much nostalgia proof though. Archived greatness 🙌
Holy hell this is amazing. What an absolutely beautiful year 1998 was.
I’d do everything to go back to that time.
I used to fall asleep to 120 minutes every sunday, man... always put my mind at ease, dreading going back to school. matt pinfield is still legendary!
I was born in 07 and I wish everyday just to live one week in 1998 I wanna experience raw and WCW, Nickelodeon specials, mtv news, BET rap city, nba on tnt man I wish I was around then
I think rap city was at its best in the early 00s when it became Tha Bassment with Big Tigger. I remember Kanye West debuting the "Through the Wire" video on there, epic.
@@brisketx for some reason I always think of Pink Panther when I see WCW Nitro
07 is when my band took off. Haha. Then we went nowhere. 😢
@@toddgessling9330Rap city was best in the early 90s-late 90s
That Crystal method song stuck in my head for years it was in so many movie trailers and video games in the late 90's and early 00's.
Really good CD that song is on. Vegas. Still listening to it.
I got that CD and put it in the ol' 6 disc boombox and it was the first thing I ever played that made all the picture frames shake. That was the seed of a 20 year rave phase once I got to senior year of high school @@GldVWisRR
Should have kept the AMP episode that followed 120 Minutes. Two of my favorite shows ever when MTV mattered
Amp was a great show.
Amp! Yes!
Iknows
With no host either...they just would just let you know the groups that were playing and play them on
120 was essential Sunday night viewing.
The last hour is pretty good, more true to 120 Minutes' roots as a showcase for underground, independent, and foreign bands. By '98 though, too much of the show was devoted to debuting mainstream or 'inbetween' bands' videos.
Seriously. It kicks off with barenaked ladies?! Most mainstream band and overplayed song of the time
@@trashyraccoon2615yeah but they played a ton of good stuff after that.
@@mcren6781 True. I love it all
95-96 was the cutoff for the good stuff before the adult alternative lilith fair era with all those gawdawful 3rd I Blinds saturated everything.
@@palehorse1111 too much Hootie
Cantrell is the man! I was 16 when this came out...damn time flies. Miss the 90s
Sadly in my 40's pining for the 90's as we middle aged people do from that era.
Amazing feels to look back on this. Carefree times them late 90's.
No front page terrorism or woke bullshit
This show was way better in the earlier years.
Agreed. Watching the top ten reminded me of how garbage the mainstream music landscape was in the late 90’s. The videos they played were even worse. A bunch of sublime ripoff crap, bad techno and creed.
Absolutely! It was really awesome in the late 80's and 90/91, before grunge came and ruined "Alternative" music forever! Back when Dave Kendall and Kevin Seal were the hosts. After Nirvana and the rest of them broke in 91, that was all you saw on MTV. I stayed hoe sick from school my junior year in 91, and saw the Red Hot Chili Pepper's video for "Under the Bridge" 9 times in 8 hours!
I agree, this sampling of late 90s "alt" music is pretty lousy.
Haha I was just going to post the same thing.. Early on, this was a really great show and a valuable source of music from some of the best bands on the planet. I remember when you could tune in and hear songs from The Stone Roses, Sonic Youth, Ride, Teenage Fanclub, Dinosaur Jr, Pixies, etc.. By this time, it had gone to absolute shit. Limp Biscuit? Creed? Ugh. Makes me wanna gouge out my eardrums with an icepick. The only decent videos in this episode are Supergrass and The Dandy Warhols. Everything else is just pure rubbish.. It's sad, really, how far the show had fallen by this point. But for people who weren't around at that time, don't judge the show from this episode. There was a time when 120 Mins was truly groundbreaking.
I was 14 when this aired. Miss the 90s
Thank God for CZcams.
I feel like I'm 18 again, about to go away to college watching this on my rca vcr tv combo. Feels like yesterday.
It's wild to watch the first few minutes to see Matt introduce the music video of "One Week," which would become one of the most iconic pop songs of the late 90's. Mind is blown and I feel old AF at almost 37 years old.
@AvaAdore-wx5gg 1990s rock was dorky AF & didn't care if you knew it. Think of Weezer, Wheatus ("Teenage Dirtbag"), and Nada Surf ("Popular"). A lot of the rise of alternative rock in the early 1990s had a total vibe of revenge of the nerds & I was totally there for it.
The late 90s were great. Your namesake being a top Pumpkins single (mine too) should remind you of that. I hate todays music mostly, it’s too saturated of an industry, impossible to rise through the dross of auto tune and computer crap to get noticed.
@AvaAdore-wx5gg Barenaked Ladies was crap...glad they're gone...the others you mentioned are good...except for Korn maybe since they were part of that rap/rock shit that thankfully is gone too
@AvaAdore-wx5gg Well... dont feel bad about Korn...you know...to each its own
@AvaAdore-wx5gg "Closer" is a classic...though "March of The Pigs" is probably my favorite...I remember watching that on "Headbanger's Ball"...another show I miss too...
I'm just gonna stay in 1998
3 days after my 18th bday. Watching this is a like a time machine
Also 3 days after...15th bday:)
Man they got really brazen with the movie tie-ins at this point.
I love how many of these songs were just tied to soundtracks instead of their actual albums.
Probably also had an effect on how many movie ads were played during this show.
It always felt like such a big deal in this era when a song came from a movie.
Batman Forever had an amazing soundtrack, and some of the songs are practically forgotten now because they were only on that album. Offspring's cover of Smash It Up and U2's Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me are a couple from it. I miss those days.
@@redsunflowers7322 yea, I wasn't even talking about the movie only songs, at least one of these songs was on an actual album and they were like "from the motion picture"
One of the most overlooked songs from Supergrass! One of the my favorite bands.
I sing "Hungry Like the Wolf" just like that because of this commercial! Could never remember where I got that from!
What minute mark?
@@joesmith872512:33
You think you're going to see a Jerry Cantrell video... but instead "you get the hooch" 😆
When I look at Jerry Cantrell in that video, I'm reminded of a quote from the Dad in Clueless, "What's with you, kid? You think the death of Sammy Davis left an opening in the Rat Pack?"
@@jonsrecordcollection7172like…what?
1998. 18. No financial obligations. No major problems. Free to roam & not caring what people think. Two years before the Y2K bug. Matt Penfield. Former host of Head bangers ball every Saturday night. Waiting for your favorite videos to be shown,regardless even if it means sacrificing your sleep ... Can't believe how fast life flies. 25 yrs ago & counting. Seems just like yesterday we were still in High School with our beepers.
Class of '98!
Haha. Oh my god. Thank you for posting this. I am being brought directly back to this summer in vivid detail. I was an extremely avid MTV and 120 Minutes viewer. I was 12 when this episode came out and it was the summer between 6th and 7th grade. A very heady time for a young boy to say the least. I remember all of these songs and videos and am feeling a strange mix of feelings watching this now. If I remember correctly, MTV2, the channel, debuted just a few months after this and that became my new obsession since now I could watch the "edgier quirkier" videos all day long on repeat rather than staying up later than everyone else in my house to watch 120 Min on our old ass wood paneled console TV. Oh jesus christ, the weird night owl tortured adolescent memories this conjures are almost too much. Lol. Thank you.
PS....I am from Jacksonville FL (home of Limp Bizkit, for better or worse, who also once graced this show in 1997) and there was a major stir when Fred Durst and VJ Matt Pinfield were spotted at our local mall and mobbed for autographs..pretty sure it made the local news. I know my friends and i all played landline phone tag and geeked out about it for some time.
PPS...pretty sure I also had the same shirt Matt is wearing this episode and thought i was HOT SHIT at my middle school. Haha. Jesus. Sorry to ramble but had to share before my nostalgia glands exploded. Thanks again for sharing, whoever you are.
I was 14 and I didn't realize that we were pretty much at peak civilization. I lived near Seattle and MTV was life.
@@welfare_baybee Truly it was...we all shared this monolithic cultural experience because the internet and widespread cable insanity hadn't yet offered the myriad very specific niches and categories that people can get lost in these days. Younger people hate to hear it today but we really were living lives more similar to one another than apart, unless you just didn't consume television, which is fine. I do really miss it in a lot of ways, but also watching this i had forgotten about some of the absolutely terrible shit MTV was pushing as summer singles and whatnot...lol. But hey, man. They were making that money regardless. Also I will usually take almost any 90s one hit wonder over one of this era's star's whole catalogue for the most part. I guess my age is showing🙃
We had a console TV too. A pivoting one. RCA 36”. Man thanks for that
Home of Limp Bizkit is NC.
@@givemebackmypurse.6894 thats where yer boy Fred Durst was born, in Gastonia...but I assure you Limp Bizkit was formed in the 904...Jacksonville. And i don't take pride in knowing all this, friend..but it is true
I was 15 at this time. Loved it!
It is SO WIERD to see these songs that I’ve heard a billion times presented as new. I’m instantly back in junior year.
This takes me back to high school. I am 41 now.
The commercials are great too. The generic electronic music in the shampoo commercial rules... classic Mentos... the 90s were a good time. They were kinda defeating the purpose of the show at this point including stuff like Barenaked Ladies and Creed but it's still fun to watch.
I'm kind of amazed that almost every damn track here jams! There is only really one stinker!
I love how when watching the old commercials YT breaks in to show you a commercial.
120 Minutes is my all time favorite music video series. But all of the commercials in this episode alone unlocked so many core memories.
Love all the Seattle talk with Harvey Danger. I probably watched this as a teenager on the East Coast never knowing how much all the places and things they mentioned about Seattle would one day define my life. Time and media are weird.
Hey it’s Matt Pinfield here with your lost childhood.
The mentos theme was 🔥
I used to record on VHS all the 120 minutes shows on Sunday nights in the late 1980s. Ahead of its time.
I was 9 soon to be 10, but I did watch MTV a lot
Whoa, throwback! Thnx for posting.
Forgot how mind numbing late 90s TV was
It’s relaxing. A good way to break away from our current reality
all of these cool videos and the ad from Mortal Kombat 4. What a blast!!! Nostalgia kicking in strong.
@32:30 Boards of Canada played over the Exclusive card 🤯
120 minutes really started the show off with a banger
lol🤣
upload more of these!!
Thank you !
Dam i miss 120 minutes i was 8 when this aired and i would watch mtv all day cuz my parents where gone all day this shit practically raised me lol
Yo I was two and my moms had this shit on the tv and it was the bomb yo
Ugh! Poor Matt Pinfield. I forget just how bleak and mainstream 1997 was sometimes. Not off to a great start there with Barenaked Ladies and Creed. I thank God I eventually discovered bands like Sonic Youth and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. 😅
Sugar Ray!?
Barenaked Ladies are an awesome band
120 Minutes used to be more like Sonic Youth & Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in the later 1980s and early 1990s, but by 1997, you were more likely to come across Jon Spencer Blues Explosion on Beavis & Butthead. (No really, I think that's where I discovered them first.)
You can like them if you want, but they're the antithesis of a band that would normally be played on 120 minutes, which was alternative music, not adult contemporary pop/rock. @@toddgessling9330
The day before my 13th birthday....need a time machine, lol.
Say What karaoke was my shiiiit. What a time to be alive
Whoa. 120 wayyyyyyyyy past its prime. You got the hooch? I guess the word alternative was claimed by Every rock and pop artist
Don't really agree with the first part but You Got The Hooch could be the worst song of the 90's!
While I do like some of these songs, I agree that the show had completely lost its identity at this time. Surprisingly, I don't really remember that Hooch song hardly at all, but man is it absolutely terrible.
you are 100% correct. most of these "alternative" bands on this episode, i can imagine playing at the peach pit on 90210 episodes around this time..
Goddamn.... TAKE ME BACK!!!!
Love the commercials!
I almost forgot just how dope ‘The Crystal Method’ was/is💯🤯
I remember when this show was on VH1 at 1st
That Mentos commercial came on and I jumped. Best commercials ever
Hey Siri, summarize the 90s Alt rock scene in a CZcams video.
Wow! Forgot about all the times I worked out, mountain biked, snow skii'd, jet ski'd and um, to the Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method.
Thank you! Do you have the one with marilyn manson and twiggy ramirez from 1998?
Blast from the past!❤❤
Great program
The day after my 18th birthday. Had a HELL of a party on a reclaimed strip mine (surface-level coal mine) with 300 of my closest friends. I remember watching THIS very episode before heading out and up onto the strip to indulge in some good, old-fashioned teenaged debauchery. I'm proud to be a Gen-X'er!!!
This aired 8 days before my first birthday. Its wild to see what was on TV at that time. Also interesting, I think my dad listened to a lot of this stuff. Plus, the singer from Barenaked Ladies looks like my dad.
Matt Pinfield was my fav MTV VJ
I watched this live while drunk in the barracks at Ft. Hood. Was stoked for Limp Bizkit. Still am.
The creed debut. A defining moment in American history
Bald dude sounds exactly like Corey fronm Pawn Stars... 😅
Wow.. A Gordita crunch is now $5 vs $.99 back then. WTF
120 minutes is still running on MTV Argentina, but no presentator there
It was great at least having commercials that weren't just attorneys, lawsuits, political ads and prescription drugs. Today sucks.
wow mtv
Thanks Matt, did people not really know about New Order in 1998?
They weren’t as popular in the USA besides Blue Monday
The younger generation only found out about them when ORGY redid their song. That shit was fire I was in like 7th grade
@chetmohr8396 No...not true...lots of us knew Joy Division and then New Order
I remember picking up Candyass in like ‘99
awesome
Thinking I was about to get the cut you in video by Jerry Cantrell but getting hooch by everything instead was a jump scare
How strange 120 minutes would only show the Crystal Method because it was featured in "Lost in Space". I think, they should have referred to their debut album "Vegas" instead.
It is also worth mentioning how mainstream this show seems to be, the European edition of used to frequently present some quite obscure and rare stuff.
it's sad to see how far this show had fallen close to the end of it's run. up until about the mid 90s this was one of the shows you watched to see stuff that wasn't in regular rotation. stuff they would NEVER play during daylight hours. by the late 90s it was just a watered down mess.
i'm not saying everything in this episode is terrible, but most of it is.
So true. The early run was where I discovered stuff that would never be on radio; Social Distortion, the Misfits, the Damned, the Replacements, etc, etc. By the time this aired it was just stuff that was all over radio. Creed, really?
The wheels fell off youth culture in waning days of the 20th century
This isn't really 120 Minutes. This is when they just started playing the same stuff you'd see during the day.
Can you upload Access Hollywood Episode, Daytime Television January 18, 1997?
😂 I was 8 years old
120 minutes, and 100 minutes of commercials.
1998. What a Crappy year for music😢
Man this was the best 120 mins of MTV good music and good times watching this on the boobtube 😂
Is this in a force 16:9 aspect ratio? Matt Pinfield looks wider than usual
Woof. Rough episode.
🤘📼🤘
The L'Oreal commercial (13:33) goes hard in the paint with some serious EDM! (Or what we fogeys called "techno," in its time.) I think that I might even have heard that track in a _Need For Speed_ game - OHH WAIT, STOP THE PRESSES! - around 14:30, the earrrrrly Sugar Ray stick of delicious dynamite, _Mean Machine;_ **and** in an ad for the game that introduced me to that song in the first place, the last halfway decent _Road Rash!_ (Yeah, okay; I'm not a super duper cool Sugar Ray OG, but it's still been ~20-25 years since I, ol' Johnny-come-lately-a-long-time-ago, showed up to the party for the Sugar Ray music that's sometimes used as an antivenin for cases of consuming any of the weak poison made after _Fly_ went and dictated the future sound of the group.)
Damn, this is right when radio music really started to go downhill
My daughter was 2 months old
Glad I missed this version of 120 minutes, what a shitshow. Sorry that Jerry Cantrell was bundled into this episode.
Génial !?!
Wow, I just realized this video is to blame for all the 1998 movies I've picked out lately.
Can anyone tell me the name of the shirt the vj is wearing. I'm from India so idk about it. I ve been searching for ages
I know they use to call them, bowling shirts. Try searching Men's Bowling Shirts. They might even be under retro or vintage mens bowling shirts.
@@sherrythomas3028 Thanks a lot. You are the best
Chickety China the chinese chicken
Just one taste and your heart stops ticking
120 minutes of commercials
Creed? Barenaked Ladies? Glad I got the European version of 120 minutes. But i seem to remember that 98 only Alternative Nation was still on and 120 minutes was already gone.
120 Minutes ran from mid '80s - early '00s.
Alternative Nation went from early '90s - late '90s.
So they were both running during the same time. I do remember watching both of those shows a lot during the '90s. Very similar format.
@@joesmith8725 i don't think that is true for mtv europe, in Europe, if I remember that right, they replaced 120 minutes with alternative nation sometime in the mid 90's.
@@magnusbooth4719 Well, interesting! Ok. Well, thats the way it was over here in the USA.
Both shows ran during the same time. During the '90s.
120 Minutes ran from mid '80s - early '00s. Mostly weekend nights.
Alternative Nation went from early '90s - late '90s. Mostly weekday nights.
So they were both running during the same time. I do remember watching both of those shows a lot during the '90s. Very similar format. At least here in the USA.
Yea, I recall 120 minutes beginning to suck by this point.. for every good song played, there was a crap one. As i go through this episode, besides the obvious AIC and Jerry Cantrell stuff... most of this stuff is pretty lame.
