About this listen
On August 1, 1981, a rocket launched on television screens, and with it, a revolution began: Music Television. MTV didn’t just play videos; it reshaped fashion, language, and celebrity culture. In this episode of Pop Origins, we trace how MTV turned music into a visual spectacle, created the era of the music video, fueled the rise of pop megastars like Madonna and Michael Jackson, and left a cultural mark that still shapes entertainment today.
