The Very First Two Hours Of MTV

This probably all seems totally quaint and archaic now but this collectively blew us ALL away back in the day :) EDIT: Had to remove about 3.5 mins of this due to a claim by "April Wine"...I really tried to get them to understand that ...

On August 1, 1981, MTV aired their first ever music video, a symbolic pick for this new era. Last night, they aired it again, only this time as the last video to ever air on the channel. The true end of an era. Breaks my heart 💔 #2026 #mtv #nostalgiacore #80saesthetic #fypuk🇬🇧📍
