I was thinking of the hype videos got in the 80s and 90s upon their releases

What about BTS? They're everywhere and was even on one of the Old Town Road remixes. Jimmy Fallon had 2 separate entire weeks that they appeared on every episode for those weeks. Old Town Road was a big thing in itself and Lil Nas X & Billy Ray Cyrus now has the record for being the longest lasting # on the Hot 100.

Isn't not enough "biz" income generated to blow capital on high-concept videos anymore? This is why all videos look like they cost about 20 bucks to make now....

Yeah I guess bts is popular though I don’t know any songs. Even k pop group blackpink is popular and gets a lot of views

DJ Khaled & Bad Bunny videos are really popular too.

'SILLY & STUPID REALITY TELEVISION Show's is what makes it VERY DIFFICULT & HARD for Music Videos to Come Back on Cable TV Networks/Channels! Only that is JUST ONE Part Of The Problem.

^^Reality TV is on because lots of people watch it, so is popular. If it wasn't the shows wouldn't be on. People can watch music videos on Youtube and they can choose the songs and/or artists they want. Watch them instantly too and not have to wait like Video Jukebox. MTV is like the radio where someone else is choosing what to broadcast. Also with Youtube, the audience can watch uncensored videos. MTV bleeped out profanity and blurred out logos or things they considered advertising. If you want to watch Justify My Love, you don't have to wait for the middle of the night like MTV would show it.

Plus we have mtv and the oj Simpson trial to thank for reality tv becoming the norm

Technically, I think it started with daytime talk shows like Donahue, Oprah, Jerry Springer, Geraldo, Sally Jessy Raphaël, Charles Perez, Christina, Ricki Lake, Jenny Jones, etc. It was Geraldo who had a big brawl on his show and got his nose broken and also had the Al Capone vault opening. Maury has been on since the early 1990s with his "Are you the father?" show.

You meant the 'MTV's THE REAL WORLD(1992-2017) & ROAD RULES(1995-2007)'?

Like the saying goes "everything old is new again" so who knows, they just may make a comeback, since people seem to be running out of ideas of new things to create, and just seem to go over what's been done before anyway.

Its a different time, MUSIC VIDEOS are still being made and many are "good" whatever that means. BUT we have to realize that they are not what they were because the art form is not new anymore, back when MTV came around it was the "birth" of that world, and we pretty much all had to go to this place for videos THEY were playing, and early on they played alot of different ones, and yes we also had Friday Night Videos, New York Hot Tracks, Video Music Box, also U68 for those who remember that awkward start up little find in 1986. But now you are not being shown videos, YOU are organizing your lists, artists have thier channels and tell U what they like and then you are fed things the YOUTUBE brain things you might also like, so you now have a much different world. You can tell me about videos you like and I bet that your top 10 and my top10 and someone elses top 10 have almsot nothing in common, now thats not bad but its the reality of this streaming and media world we are now when in reality we THINK we are forming our own tastes, not so. Take the music world now, its all about streaming for new artists you can literally have an artists with 10 million streams THINK they have a huge fan base and compare that to say an album back in the day SELLING a million its very different. Now you have artists with a million or so streams that no one even knows, or heard the song, if a song in 1985 sold a million copies i can pretty much guarantee most people heard it, because sales usually almost always went with airplay and videos and it worked hand in hand, its not that way now. There is a very humoros MEME going around about MTV's 39th anniversary saying Happy 39th thank you for 14 years of videos, pretty much sums it up and what was to come and what we have now. If you ask someone compile a list of your 100 favorite music videos since 2010 till now I am SURE that you will hard pressed to find the videos but also lists that share favorites, also I can bet you will have most say I NEVER SAW THAT ONE a hell of a lot more now than then . Now ask someone for their favorite 100 videos from 1980-1990 I can bet alot of similarites.
