Do you remember when MTV actually played music?

In this video, we take a trip down memory lane and talk about our favorite memories of MTV — from our first experiences watching Music Television to the glory days of hair metal, music videos, and the moments that made MTV such a huge part of our lives.

We answer 10 questions about MTV, including what we remember most about those early days, our thoughts on MTV's changing direction in the late '90s, and what happened when the network moved away from the music that so many of us grew up watching.

If you grew up watching MTV, there's a good chance some of these memories will take you right back!

What are YOUR favorite MTV memories? Let us know in the comments!
