It has come to my attention that not all of you are aware that this exists. So, here it is. It exists. Dozens of channels of randomized music videos and bumpers. Choose your era and return to your childhood. Bookmark it for when you need to escape back.

Been listening to the "First Day of MTV" and, while I wouldn't choose all the songs, most are at least familiar and it's REALLY taking me back. Some I haven't heard in decades.

I remember a roommate in ~85 that would put on MTV, mute it, then put on local radio.

I never quite figured that one out.

If you have a VPN it's a good idea to bop around between Canada, UK, and US because there are some videos blocked in one region that isn't in another. Also, I forgot how much I love Pop Up Video.

There’s a series of channels on the side that you scroll down through. Regions, shows, decades. Take your pick!

I thought the NYTimes article about it was very neat: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/arts/music/mtv-rewind-video-database.html?unlocked_article_code=1.YlA.Dsgu.kHIBdwrLe_fs&smid=nytcore-android-share

I didn't have cable when I was a kid, but I watched Friday Night Videos avidly. Years later, my housemate and I used to leave MTV on while we were sewing and crafting. I remember ALL of these videos.

That iconic "lift-off" intro. Introductions from Mark, Nina, Martha, Alan, and JJ. And then right into The Buggles.

My parents watched the moon landing. I had this.

“Burning Down the House” with pop-up factoids? Yes, please! The band playing in front of projected Beach Boys concert footage—did not know!

for 7 years I ran a '80s MTV Memories site on Twitter - MTV in the '80s was all about the strange contests and how commercials changed to visually pop like the videos. The immersion is incomplete without Martha Quinn
