There's something to this. Not only did MTV stop playing videos, but shows like The Real World and Road Rules are the direct precursors to the reality TV movement that gave us things like Survivor and the Kardashians.

Real talk, the switch away from playing music videos actually legitimately impacted culture profoundly
