0:34
Speaker 1: child of the eighties, I want my MTV. I used
0:38
Speaker 1: to have MTV just kind of on the background all
0:41
Speaker 1: day long. I'd be doing my homework and you know,
0:43
Speaker 1: there would be the police, there would be Aha, there
0:45
Speaker 1: would be Michael just playing in the background. And music
0:50
Speaker 1: television it really I think you defined all of gen
0:54
Speaker 1: x Y and then road Rules comes around and you know,
1:00
Speaker 1: the real World and the Road Rules Real WRULD crossover,
1:04
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, there is no more
1:06
Speaker 1: music on music television.
1:08
Speaker 3: Exactly to this question.
1:10
Speaker 1: There have been MTV stations in Europe that have been
1:13
Speaker 1: pulled off the air. They're just they're closing up shop.
1:16
Speaker 1: And is that gonna happen here in the US?
1:19
Speaker 4: I don't know. You know, do you remember when it debuted,
1:22
Speaker 4: We as a family with our cousins went we were
1:24
Speaker 4: going to six Flags. We lived in Streport, we were
1:26
Speaker 4: going to six Flags in Texas Arlington, and when we
1:30
Speaker 4: got to our hotel.
1:31
Speaker 3: That was the day that it debuted.
1:34
Speaker 4: We were glued to the TV that we didn't even
1:37
Speaker 4: want to go to six Flags because wow, we just
1:39
Speaker 4: wanted to watch one video after another. Was the greatest
1:42
Speaker 4: thing ever. I think that was the beginning of Reels.
1:46
Speaker 4: I think that's the beginning. Oh yeah, yeah, when you
1:48
Speaker 4: started seeing these short stories with music.
1:51
Speaker 1: Because one thing that came on after MTV was Comedy Central.
1:55
Speaker 1: Comedy Central launched after MTV when Comedy Central was started
1:58
Speaker 1: off as twenty four Hours was comedy clips. So there
2:02
Speaker 1: was Jerry Seinfeld doing a little clip. There was Were
2:05
Speaker 1: Godfried in the club, There's Robin Williams in the club,
2:07
Speaker 1: There's Johnny Danger, There's a.
2:12
Speaker 3: No Respect Danger, Dangerfield.
2:17
Speaker 1: All of these clips of comedy and that was just
2:20
Speaker 1: like again like Reels, like you'll see that on your
2:22
Speaker 1: Facebook feed. That was Comedy Central at the beginning.
2:25
Speaker 5: Exactly think about this, this is what made it so special.
2:28
Speaker 5: The eighties so extra special when it came to music.
2:31
Speaker 5: We were so invested in the singers, their band. We
2:35
Speaker 5: knew what they looked like, we knew their origin story,
2:39
Speaker 5: we knew the band members, where they were from, how
2:41
Speaker 5: they came together. They were on American Bandstand along with MTV.
2:44
Speaker 5: When I hear one of those eighties songs, I instantly
2:46
Speaker 5: go to the video, like Cindy Lauppers, you know girls,
2:50
Speaker 5: you literally felt invested video. You're so invested in And nowadays,
2:56
Speaker 5: I don't know, I'll see a name come up I've
2:59
Speaker 5: never heard I made. Those songs that are most familiar
3:02
Speaker 5: to me are the ones that trend on TikTok, and
3:06
Speaker 5: then other ones I don't know, Like if you told me.
3:09
Speaker 5: I think somebody was talking recently about Roja do or
3:12
Speaker 5: Doja Cat or whatever.
3:13
Speaker 3: I don't know what she looks like, and there's something
3:16
Speaker 3: missing with that. I think. I think it was better
3:19
Speaker 3: when we felt invested in our you know, artists.
3:22
Speaker 1: One of the biggest artists that actually just came up
3:25
Speaker 1: out of nowhere was Oliver Anthony.
3:28
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, and if you'll.
3:29
Speaker 1: Remember, the Way he rose was from a video, Yes,
3:32
Speaker 1: and it was a very simple video, just him and
3:34
Speaker 1: his dogs and a microphone and a guitar out in
3:36
Speaker 1: the middle of the woods on his property, singing a
3:39
Speaker 1: song from the heart it had. It had no more
3:42
Speaker 1: production value than the first music videos on MTV, actually
3:45
Speaker 1: had a lot less production value than some of that,
3:48
Speaker 1: but he was still powerful.
3:49
Speaker 5: The reason it was so valuable, but the reason it
3:52
Speaker 5: was so valuable because what his message was resonated with
3:56
Speaker 5: all of us.
3:57
Speaker 3: If you watch and I love watching.
3:59
Speaker 5: These real where they have somebody that they watch it
4:02
Speaker 5: for the first time, they call it something.
4:04
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, guys, you're seeing a split screen.
4:06
Speaker 5: Yes, and it's like there their their first glimpse at it.
4:10
Speaker 3: I can't think of what it's called.
4:11
Speaker 5: But anyway, you see people from all walks of life
4:15
Speaker 5: the very first time they hear this, they go, oh
4:19
Speaker 5: my god, like he just said that, like he said
4:21
Speaker 5: what I think?
4:22
Speaker 3: And if they did, I don't.
4:23
Speaker 5: I don't know what happened to him, why he didn't,
4:26
Speaker 5: because there's a lot of these big wigs that wanted
4:28
Speaker 5: to put him on their label and the record label,
4:30
Speaker 5: and he didn't do it. But when you have that,
4:33
Speaker 5: that's kind of like the eighties. Those songs resonated with us.
4:36
Speaker 5: You know, girls just want to have fun. They had,
4:38
Speaker 5: you know, I know this was uh what what was
4:41
