U prvih smo deset godina ovog stoljeća puno više pisali o dodjeli MTV-ove nagrade VMA Video Music Award. Potreba za izvještavanjem o VMA-u svela se na minimum, a najbolji je dokaz da je dodjela izgubila popularnost došao je u brojkama. Prvi put ikad, broj se gledatelja dodjele Video Music Awarda nije popeo iznad milijun. Uz svoje ekrane, 12. rujna, bilo je tek 900 000 gledatelja. Dakako, poražavajući se podaci posebno ističu ako ih se stavi u odnos s gledanošću prošlih godina. VMA najviše je ljudi gledalo, sad već davne, 2011. godine kad je dodjelu popratilo čak 12.4 milijuna ljudi.
Ipak, loša gledanost nije značila manje kvalitetne reakcije i memove na VMA. Bizarnosti, srećom, nije nedostajalo, pa smo tako svjedočili Doji Cat koja je izjavila da izgleda kao crv, sukobu Machine Gun Kellyija i Conora McGregora koji je skoro eskalirao u borbu šakama ili Debby Ryan koja je rekreirala svoj vlastiti meme. Upravo su takvi trenutci nagnuli humoristične umove da u različitim formatima izbacuju sve što im je trenutno na pameti.
