MTV.



MTV has played a big role in creating music superstars by playing artistes' music videos on television. Because of MTV, music have turned into something more visual and is not just about music anymore. What is the significance that MTV have on the music videos at that time? Did music videos evolve into something that is more complex (e,g: Michael Jackson's "Thriller", a music video that seems like a movie)?

MTV have now changed its direction and plays more reality TV shows rather than music videos. Most of the reality TV shows aired are trashy (at least to me), and it seems to me that MTV have lost it's uniqueness. Although they have separate channels just for music videos, I feel that the public image of MTV has definitely changed. Has MTV become a channel that have negative influence on the youth?
