Happy Birthday to MTV

Don't simply repeat the familiar passive-aggressive lament, "remember when MTV played videos?" Instead, let's be thankful for the few years we had with televised videos on the network and that we got to be active participants in that little slice of cultural history. Plus, I was introduced to a lot of music (and fashion) I never would have experienced otherwise. 

Would movies like Footloose or Flashdance have been produced without MTV's influence? Discuss.
