If only we could rewind to August 1, 1981. When MTV first hit the air and music videos were everything! We sat in front of the TV for hours, discovering new artists, and falling in love with music in a whole new way. From the golden era of music videos and iconic premieres… to TRL… and then the reality-TV takeover . Somewhere along the line, the MTV we knew slipped away. MTV was special, and it helped shape our generation. When did you stop watching? #GenX #MTVMemories #Throwback #MusicVideos |
