Buggles - Video killed the radio star




The video is the first ever music video presented on The MTV channel was ‘Music killed the radio star’. This is relevant because it talks about how music videos were taking over the radio because at that time people used to only listen to music through the radio but now it was available on TV with a video so that’s why radio became discarded. There has been a huge change in music due to new technology and the way we consume media. This has now resulted in new demand such as niche musical outlets. Now it is essential for recording artist to have a video with their music because otherwise they could lose their audience. Music videos caused controversy because institutions used the female sex appeal excessively and people said that it was just another way of making money.

Shaidul, some good posts but there is still quite a bit that you need to add. Some textual analysis of videos of your choice would be good-
under Goodwins theory.
Also i would like to see a posting with info on the genre you have picked and detailed research on that genre.
