For me MTV Tr3s, was an experience that grew my appreciation for music, its visuals and my culture as a Latina kid.<\/p>\n MTV Tr3s was launched in 2006 and was owned by Paramount Media Networks. It specifically targeted bilinguals and bicultural young Latinos of ages 12-34 and featured a mix of Spanish, English and Spanglish music videos, reality shows and other lifestyle content that celebrated Latino culture.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n As a 10-year old, this network was everything to me. It taught me about all the good genres that I needed to know about like Regional Mexican, Reggaet\u00f3n, Bachata and more. Growing up, and even now as an adult, Reggaet\u00f3n has always been my go-to genre, whether I\u2019m in the mood to celebrate and party or going through a heartbreak. It holds a special place in my heart and it makes me feel everything that I need to feel.<\/p>\n One of the best Christmas gifts I ever received as a kid was a CD player. I had asked for a Shakira CD, but instead, I got a Reggaet\u00f3n mix filled with all the classic old-school hits. Looking back, I probably had no business listening to that kind of music at that age or getting that gift in the first place, but honestly, I\u2019m so grateful. I got to grow up in a generation that knew and loved all those \u201cLatina baddie\u201d anthems, like \u201cMayor que yo\u201d by Wisin Y Yandel, \u201cVen bailalo\u201d by Angel & Khriz, or even \u201cDown\u201d by R.K.M & Ken-Y.<\/p>\n I also appreciated that the MTV Tr3s brought Latino and Latina representation to my home screen with artists like Prima J and their song \u201cCoraz\u00f3n,\u201d who taught me that I\u2019m in fact not alone. Other artists that have also influenced me and kept me connected with my roots have been Paula DeAnda, Frankie J, Baby Bash and the iconic Jenni Rivera, who also taught me to be a chingona and stay true to myself.<\/p>\n The network also aired a show called \u201cPimpeando,\u201d that focused on the lowrider culture, and \u201cQuiero Mis Quinces,\u201d which is a huge important celebration party that most Latina daughters get to have.\u00a0<\/p>\n It also aired soap operas, also known as \u201cnovelas,\u201d that I would watch after finishing my homework and fighting for TV time, including \u201cPopland\u201d and \u201cIsa TKM.\u201d Unfortunately in 2017, MTV Tr3s was shut down and replaced by MTV Classic.<\/p>\n Even for those who weren\u2019t hooked on the MTV Tr3s network, MTV itself offered the latest music videos that us millennials could never forget because of its focus on emerging music trends, such as songs by Soulja Boy, like \u201cCrank That,\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re a Jerk\u201d by the New Boyz or even \u201cParty Rock Anthem\u201d by LMFAO during our shuffling era. MTV was the channel and the primary way to discover new music back in the day.<\/p>\n Additionally it aired shows like \u201cMTV Crib,\u201d \u201cJersey Shore\u201d and \u201cCatfish: The TV Show.\u201d MTV was a significant part of my childhood.\u00a0<\/p>\n And now that the network has officially announced that they are pulling the plug after 40 years on five of its music channels\u2014MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live by December 31, it feels like I’m losing a part of my youth nostalgia.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.calonews.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (Canva art created by Amairani Hernandez.)
