MTV

It was really interesting to see the first ten minutes of MTV. I'm not gonna lie, I really enjoyed it! I would imagine it would have been fun and exciting for the people to first view it. The introduction was great and I loved the different colors the MTV logo flashed. MTV has changed a lot since it was first aired. Nowadays when you turn on MTV you find numerous reality shows and dating shows that have nothing to do with music. Back then it was 100% about music. I also thought it was interesting how in the writing it said MTV emphasized the importance of vision over sound. Not just hearing the song but also watching music videos. I don't personally think that that is true. I think that the song and it's sound is way more important. MTV also glorified many artist. By allowing them to make videos and show of their dance moves MTV created superstars. The reading gives the example of Madonna. That also brings fourth the point that some singers look better than they sound! That's another reason why I think sound is more important then the image. If you want MTV nowadays you hardly ever see any music videos. If you want nonstop music videos you have to watch it early in the morning. MTV is now mainly composed of reality shows and pointless dating shows. Half of MTV just comes across as "fake" to me. Initially MTV did change music for better, but that's not the case now!
