Robert Pittman introduced Music Television
to the teens and tweens of the 1980s. MTV became the outlet that connected musicians to music lovers to each other. The cable channel also provided a new way to introduce fashion trends quicker than magazines and movies. Soon, kids dressed like Madonna 
or Michael Jackson 
one day and Jon Bon Jovi 
and Debbie Gibson 
another. MTV changed the world, and this was the first music video played on August 1, 1981, 30 years ago.
