The advent of MTV and the challenging of traditional values by movies and television impacted the generation of teenagers living during the 1980s in the following way.

The advent of MTV represented the first time American youngsters could see the videos of their favorite artists that they used to listen to their music only on the radio. Fans could see the videos, documentaries, news, and special reports of Pop and rock artists.
