 | | MTV (abbreviation for Music Television) is a cable television network which was originally devoted to music videos, especially popular rock music. |
 | | Ironically, the first music video shown on MTV was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles (with similar tongue-in-cheek humor, the first video shown on MTV Europe was "Money for Nothing", by Dire Straits, which starts with the line "I want my MTV"). |
 | | Because of its visibility as a promotional tool for the recording industry, MTV has been criticized as overly commercial, and accused of denigrating the importance of music in the music industry, replacing it with a purely visual aesthetic. |
