MTV's Spring Break vs BET's Spring Bling

Welcome to the very first episode of Millennial Moodboard! We don’t waste any time diving into one of the most memorable moments of our Millennial culture: Spring Break, baby! Your hosts Jasmine, Valerie, and Pallavi discuss the absolutely wild time when MTV’s Spring Break and BET’s Spring Bling reigned supreme. Spring break programming tapped into a huge millennial fantasy: beaches, celebrities, live performances, reality TV tie-ins, VJs, wacky contests, and the illusion that regular ‘ol people could be discovered by showing up in the right bikini at the right beach. Now, we have TikTok for that, and we gotta be honest, it does not hit the same. Honorable mentions of this episode: early 2000s reality TV, Carson Daly, TRL, America’s Next Top Model, Parental Control, Next, Road Rules, Degrassi, Drake, Girls Gone Wild, Operation Repo, millennial drinking culture, pre-smartphone life, and lots more!
