MTV 80s, MTV 90s
Are "I Want My 80s" and "I Want My 90s" on those channels? If so, I watch those occasionally. It's pretty awesome putting that on and catching old videos for an hour straight.

this website is free and it's all old MTV music videos. The only ads are the commercials from the era you are watching. Pretty cool

Once The Real World was hit, that was the beginning of the end for MTV.
This. MTV was huge for me in my middle school and high school years - loved watching all the Spring Break content and then when I was able to go as a Sophomore, Junior, Senior in High School it was even better than what I saw on tv. Drinking on the beach all day and going to both LaVela and Spinnaker, getting in fights, busting nuts up in random hoes from places like Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana etc.
The 90's were awesome what a time to be alive.

Huge part of my adolescence from 87 to 91 or so. When they stopped focusing on music videos they lost me.

I lived in Power dorm in the 80s. In the lobby (Hall 4), they had one of those huge projector TVs. That TV was on MTV 24/7. You couldn’t walk out of the dorm without hearing MTV.

Been seeing this. MTV is going off the air? Or just their lesser channels that actually play videos are gone??
Videos would be terrible now anyway. With tik tok creators directing videos for auto tuned hip hop and YouTube singers it would be terrible.
Hell time has changed. Every regular radio station like The Buzz hear in Houston has to throw in a FEW songs that are 30-40 years old. Either straight grunge songs or pop from back then like the Goo Goo Dolls.

As a kid and teen, MTV was on my bedroom TV 24/7.
I lived in Dubai as a kid, and we had very little access to American pop culture.
When we moved back to the States, my sister and I were blown away by what we saw on MTV. My mom hated it. Especially Madonna.

People keep misreporting the story. It isn't the original channel going off the air. It is the spinoff music channel which I am not even sure was available in the US. The original channel which turned to crap is still on air.

MTV as us X'ers knew them ceased to exist 20 years ago.
I saw maybe a few minutes of MTV total after 1988.
From 1983 through 1985 it was a daily watch.

The 60's 70's and 80's had so many great bands and musicians that the show was entertaining and non stop. Music died for the most part 25 years ago. The pool to draw from is now a puddle that is almost dried up.

It was pretty cool having MTV as my initials growing up. Although I was 16 when it aired so technically the station was named after me.
Also it's interesting that Kennedy is still on TV just in a much different format

People talk about Disney pushing a gay agenda, but MTV was the big name in the game back in the day. The way that people talk about social media having so much influence over young people today, that was MTV back in the '90s and early 2000s.
Pedro Zamora on The Real World was a massive number of peoples introduction to the gay community.

They were cool when they first went on the air.
What they had to work with for content delivery they did pretty good.
Those Ampex quad 2” video cart machines weren’t too bad.

Maybe as rock died, it was inevitable that MTV would die too.
