8. 4. MTV aired music videos that were around three-minutes
long. But with the introduction of the remote

their viewer’s attention.
In the show, they would show segments of music
videos, then switch back to the characters and offer
dialogue and action while the music video played in the
background. The show centers on two socially
inept, stupid, heavy metal-loving teenagers, X & Y.
