MTV and music videos have had an impact on our culture. They have been used to promote musicians and to demonstrate musical talent. Over time, music videos themselves have become more relevant and important to the music industry then MTV itself. In today's culture, MTV is no longer as relevant to music as music videos are.

Music videos are actually quiet simple. An artist shows footage such as dancing for example, and then has music playing in the back round to go with what the video is showing. MTV used to show music videos but, it has now been reduced to a network that shows mostly reality and comedy shows. Even though MTV is supposed to be "music television" it really does not have much to do with music anymore, making it feel unimportant. Music videos are still relevant to music itself, so it is more important to the music industry in our culture today.

While MTV has hit a low point, music videos themselves are still a big impact in our culture. More and more music videos are being made and they continue to grow in popularity. The music industry is still a powerful thing in our society, and music videos only help it grow more and more.
