"Our society makes stricter demands on young people than in the West, so MTV became even more a place to escape pressures and become anonymous.

MTVs with private viewing rooms offered some space for freedom.
「我們社會對青少年的要求比西方嚴格，因此 MTV 便成了逃匿空間，在那裡你可以自由自在『懶』在沙發上，也不致招來老爸『坐好』的吼叫聲」，清華大學文學研究所副教授陳光興指出，隔間後的 MTV 提供了一個新的自由空間。
