Social media & subscriptions killed the video star
Nostalgia is a kick in the balls sometimes, but it was 100% a better time, you couldn’t scroll past a good music video like kids do on their phones
Music videos were iconic sometimes way bigger than the song, then came some of the most outrageous but groundbreaking TV shows, from Jackass (we all recreated it), MTV cribs - the houses, the cars, the refrigerators, the “this is where the magic happens”, Beavis and butt head was just weird and wild, celebrity death match was plasticine WWE, pimp my ride was a brilliant watch, the osbournes was iconic. Ozzy was hilarious, VH1, MTV Dance, MTV unplugged….i know everything comes to end, nobody was watching anymore. Content is short and handheld, it’s evolved….im not always sure it’s for the best
Sitting round a friends house with your good pals having a drink or something to eat with a good bit of MTV on was era defining…..Maybe we’re getting old, Maybe we’ll say the kids will never know and that Screen will rot your brain like our parents said
RIP MTV
