Bands still release music videos. They usually are mini movie productions that take 5 minutes of BS before they get to the music but....

Music videos were dead (as far as being played on TV) long before streaming was a thing.
I’m a fan of music videos too and would leave MTV on when they played them. But today? I probably wouldn’t do that regularly . Younger generations probably wouldn’t either, unfortunately.

People still watch music videos…a ton. They just do it on YouTube instead of MTV

That changed w/The Real World in 1989. Reality TV got higher overall numbers, and was just as popular w/the 16-34 females as videos, if not more so. Also, MTV owned the content, not some record company.
Reality TV is what killed music videos.

most bands I was into were forced to do videos back in the MTV era... times of changed...
they will do it now at a small cost and control the release (YouTube)... but do people still care?

Some '70s band (Boston?) trying for a comeback around '88 refused to do them and sales suffered. That was about the last holdout.

yeah - but most of the records leading up were not MTV worthy... Born In the USA was prime material..

Great if you're making music strictly for payout.
Any genuine music lover will tell you Springsteen blows and Boston is Gold!

Another reason to add to the list of why people suck.

92, actually. The story behind it is more interesting than the show. They pitched a scripted soap opera about 20-somethings, but couldn't get the budget for actors or writers. So they decided to use real people. I wonder if the fake arse reality TV phenomena would've been smaller or at least delayed, had MTV found the budget for the soap opera.

The first video on MTV was 'Video Killed The Radio Star' by the Bugles, fronted by Trevor Horn.
Fast forward to 2009, Trevor Horn produces Robbie Williams' album 'Reality Killed the Video Star'

I feel Napster and MP3 had a huge part in killing the overall music business. But it was inevitable. Then around the same time reality TV. MTV wanted to push that shite. Then everythingwent downhill as far as originality and creativity.
quote:because of streaming, much more convenient than waiting around all day for the videos you want to come on so you can record them on vhs
But today? I probably wouldn’t do that regularly . Younger generations probably wouldn’t either, unfortunately.

Metallica also refused to do them until they relented for One. And then they exploded into the greatest heavy metal band in history.
