What if MTV was never a thing? Would Michael Jackson and Madonna become so big? How about Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera?
Beavis and Butt-Head better still be a thing or this isn't a universe I want to live in.
Shame I can not offer multiple likesIt would delay the invention of reality TV shows. All of western culture would be better off if that happened.
Rap music takes longer to reach the white suburbanites teenagers, while MTV first started out being slow to play videos by black artists but after Michael Jackson's videos from Thriller gained more rotations MTV found out that they did not lose viewers but actually gained them.
MTV then starts playing rap and Hip-Hop starting in 1984.

There was shows like tbs night tracks and others. It wasn't just MTV . There was a market for videos and stuff.
I definitely think black artists like Michael Jackson and Prince have a harder time crossing over to white audiences without MTV, which obviously has huge knock-on effects for the future of pop music after about 1985.

That is a what if I could cheer though.. Reality TV is . Well this is a family show . But my repulsion and utter. Contempt for. The genre is shall we say.. Uh.. KnownNo, as soon as the Writers Strike, the fuze was lit on cheap reality programming
Not before MTV. In fact when MTV first started broadcasting there weren't very many videos even available. The short form video, which is now remarkably common, was a very rare, generally a mix of experimental student films, training films, and cartoons.There was shows like tbs night tracks and others.

You would need to kill the outlet of video
Things like the wall.. The zep movie and other items proved success for live concerts and or abstract videos

The Wall didn't debut at Cannes until May of 1982, almost a year after MTV started up. The Song Remains the Same came out much earlier, but it was rarely seen after its original theatrical run. Keep in mind that VCRs were still relatively new with most video retal places being "Mom & Pop" operations (Blockbuster didn't start business until 1985).
HBO had a show called "Video Jukebox", where they'd play an hour of music videos. Believe it began in 1977 or 1978.
