Abstract
“Video killed the radio star,” the Buggles sang back at the dawn of MTV, and what a prophetic lyric that was. Of course, video had been around for quite a while before MTV launched (for the kids out there, the “M” used to stand for “music”; I don’t know what it stands for these days).

With cable television and the appearance of channels with dedicated programming like MTV, music videos became a primary way that a pop culture was introduced to and seduced by bands and singers.
