  • Back When Videos Meant Everything: The Rise (and Fall) of MTV: Rock of Aging

    Back When Videos Meant Everything: The Rise (and Fall) of MTV: Rock of Aging
    Feb 11 2026

    In this episode of Rock of Aging, Dave and Erika rewind to the glory days of MTV, when music videos weren’t optional, they were everything. Before streaming, before algorithms, before phones in our pockets, MTV told us what mattered — what to wear, how bands looked, and which artists became legends.

    We dig into how music videos transformed songs into visual events, turned musicians into larger-than-life icons, and reshaped rock culture forever. From late-night video marathons to world premieres that stopped time, MTV didn’t just play music — it created mythology.

    This is a love letter to the era when image, attitude, fashion, and sound collided… and rock was never the same.

    Also, for Dave's (Not So) Deep Dives, he will discussing the newest album Texas rockers, Die Spitz. Erika's Atmosphere Check will be setting the vibe of life in the 80s as a teenager who loved MTV.
