End of an era 💔
There’s something deeply symbolic about closing the final broadcast with “Video Killed the Radio Star.” From redefining pop culture in 1981 to signing off with the same song decades later, MTV truly shaped generations through music and visuals. The loss of the 24-hour music channels feels like saying goodbye to a shared cultural memory. Music TV may have changed form, but the impact of MTV will always remain. 📺🎶
