How did the advent of MTV, and the challenging of traditional values by movies and television impacted the generation of teenagers living during the 1980s?

Answer 1

MTV appeared in the 1980s and changed many aspects of the pop culture and life of teenagers. This change contained a number of significant changes, such as the attitudes of pop culture, which was counter-established in traditional culture, as well as the previously already saturated and diluted pop culture of the 70s. Also, one of the changes, it was linked to the production itself, handheld mobile cameras, quick cuts, contributed to an adequate adaptation of the way of life to 80's and dynamic and exciting content. The way of making rock video clips, more freedom in expressing pop culture, has influenced that the content on the TV in general began to resemble MTV, and thus influenced the behavior and subcultural patterns of the teenagers.

Answer 2

The main way in which the advent of MTV, and the challenging of traditional values by movies and television impacted the generation of teenagers living during the 1980s is that it encouraged them to "rebel" agains the status quo of society--creating somewhat of a youthful counterculture that had no interest in tradition.
