When I was a teenager I devoted a lot of time to hanging out with my friends, and I would always make time to watch music videos. In fact, most of my time spent with friends was devoted to MTV. If we weren’t watching the station we were talking about what we saw or what we wanted to see next. Looking back now I can’t believe I wasted so much time, but then again, it made me happy so I guess there is something to be said for that. In any case, at that time I my life I couldn’t imagine not watching MTV all the time, and now I couldn’t tell you where it is on my cable lineup.
My friends and I would watch music videos so much that we could tell you every tiny thing that happened in the video. This was the age of the eighties hair bands, and there was at least one guy in each band that we were madly in love with, though it was rarely the same guy for each of us. We would watch music videos far into the night, and would eagerly await a new release. Thinking back, I realize there are worse things I could have been doing with my time.

It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.

Though I don’t watch music videos on MTV any longer, my husband turns on some videos on occasion. We might see some new stuff, and we also watch music videos from when we were teenagers. It’s almost embarrassing to watch them today, as it reminds me of how nutty I was about it. I look at the guys that I thought were so cute back then, and I don’t understand what I saw in them. If it is up to me, I never watch music videos any longer, but if they are on and something good comes on I don’t mind going down memory lane.
For the kids of today, there are many more ways to watch music videos. MTV is still there, though I think it is a joke any more. It’s become almost a parody of itself. If you are sick of the MTV programming like I am, you can find another great place to watch music videos. Many artists now put their videos up online so that you can watch them there. They do this for promotional reasons, much like the reasons they are played on television music stations.
