This.
Part of thriller's mystique is that it really ushered in the music video/MTV era, which has now been dead for a while.

Negative.
"Billie Jean" and "Beat It" and videos from Duran Duran and Billy Idol ushered in the music video/MTV era. MTV was more than 2 years old when "Thriller" was released as a video. The album Thriller had been out for well over a year when the video for the title track was released.
I spent the entire summer of 1983 on my couch watching MTV a la Beavis & Butthead. The "Thriller" video was released in December of that year. MTV had been well ushered in by that point.
Just sayin...
