It's really is amazing how different life is almost 40 years later. It just feels like everything was simpler back then. Less chaotic and confusing. Maybe that's just old man "in my day" talk, but it really just feels more genuine and real than what we are experiencing today. I do wish I could take my kids to this era and just have them experience it like I was able to, without the interruptions of cell phones and social media and what seems to be the constant infighting of our country on every possible issue or non-issue. Of course there were plenty of issues in the 80s, but from a macro perspective, it felt like we'd always get through them together as a country.

By the time I was a teen, the Mtv i was watching was NOTHING like the Mtv of the early 80's. Gangsta rap, and grunge was constantly playing, and suddenly there was more shows like Singled Out, The real world, Beavis and butthead, etc . I didn't mind, though I hated The real world. But at least there was still music playing on Mtv. Nowadays it's literally just reality shows and junk. Completely unrecognizable and unwatchable 😔

Someone said before my comment, that MTV was an Enigma, I think thats a great word to describe MTV in the 80s and early 90s, it was so important to those of us who were teens or in our early 20s, it was the way we kept up on new music, as well as a bit of news. Think about the announcement of a WORLD PREMIER VIDEO, take Michale Jacksons "Black or White" everybody watched that premier whether you were a fan or not ! Think about MJs THRILLER video, thats all people were talking about in my High School, I personally like MTV more so in the late 80s early 90s because they played so much more hard rock vids as well as HEADBANGERS BALL, it was a great time to be alive. Then the REAL WORLD came along and that ruined MTV as did many other things. But MTV was an ENIGMA for it's early years !

I had just turned three when this aired, yet it's extremely comforting to me. I've played it 4 times already as background noise while I cook and do stuff around the house. Of course I remember many of these artists and films as they were still popular throughout the 80's (and some into the 90's) And lol I remember the "Cry " music video at 22:49 being ripped apart by Beavis and butthead in the 90's, prior to that i had never heard the song or video. Though my nostalgia is strong, I know that the 80's were far from perfect, but they certainly seemed simpler. Of course I was just a child throughout the decade, but seemed like a more chill, laid back and just overall fun decade. Glad I got to live almost 8 years throughout it before the 90's arrived.

The year 1985 was one great year & I was when I graduated from high school when I was 20 years old NOT 18!! Nina Blackwood has young good genes NOT good docs & she wears dark glasses!! Nina left MTV either in July or August of 1986 & was the first VJ to leave!!

Funny thing is that Nina is still a DJ on Sirius/XM. Mark and Alan too (and they sound the same). Nina sounds like she smoke 20 packs a day 😂😂😂

@@ChatGPT1111 I said the same thing. She looks like a blonde Rosanne Barr now. Oh, and Martha Quinn was on Sirius as well for a while. JJ Jackson, sadly, passed away in 2004.

MTVs Live Aid broadcast actually was the start of the end to the classic format. The Vjays performance during the concert drew lots of criticism from viewers. Within a year, half of the on air talent was gone and the video/concert format was slowly replaced by Remote Control, a coked up Dewwezil Zappa and Diwntown Julie Brown.

1985 Fealt like a transition time for the decade and in many cases it really was. A feeling that the trends/tropes of the 1980's were already being overused and played out. My friends and myself included were SO ready for the 80's to be over by 1989. We were tired of the cookie cutter music and fashion. Ready for guitars in place of synths. etc. We were just ready for something new. Now, like most of us (Millennials excluded, you're 90's kids) who lived that era, I do get the fond nostalgia fuzzies when I see these kinds of things, but I also get that sense of "ho hum" I remember feeling during this period of time.

…but the 80’s were far from over..a lot of good music and trends to come….though I did start listening to freestyle, country, and NWA…stuff that wasn’t on MTV.

Nina Blackwood never seemed to be on the air when I was at a friend's house that had cable! So that always annoyed me. And they always played the same videos like Duran Duran hungry like the wolf, or Michael Jackson, Thomas Dolby blinded me with science or the Eurythmics so much you began to get nauseated. Although I did like the Peter Gabriel videos, like shock the monkey or big time. Yeh MTV was pretty cool and all at the beginning but it was also strangely conservative when it came to its play list rotation. Maybe not so strange given the media market demographics that they were targeting and wanting to hold onto. Variety and broad spectrum diversity was definitely not high on the agenda, priority list and ranking.

God what happened...Back then it was great to be alive. Things weren't perfect and there was so much optimism. No matter what race you were it seemed people got along and were happy. No woke no progressive BS. Men were men and women were women, also beautiful without the tats or piercings. Dittos to all who would go back, I'm there with ya's....

35:05 what a time warp blast, watching tape from back in the day. Fun artistic period, with folks figuring out the methods to make video augment the music. It helped usher in the focus on the visual, which continues to this day. People under 50 prefer video to text (reading). I’m gonna dip more into these archive blocks from MTV.
