Ok, well maybe he didn't kill them. He just had a large part in selling it's soul to corporate MTV with the 'top 10' of the week or day or whichever. Honestly I don't remember when they stopped showing music videos since I despised the reality TV that pre and posted the show.
Where did the days of Beavis and Butthead go? They were true troopers and protagonists when it came to deciding what music videos were good.
Ha. No, but really, those days of televised music videos were the best. And those cartoon two knew it too. No matter how bad they made fun of Michael Stipe. The video was sort of weird anyway.

In the way that some cinema is televised radio programs- I think that the music video is in a different way- televised music. They are both related to televised radio, but they each serve a different function.
One is to give a story to the audience- mapped and plotted out to a more semantic degree, and another to a musical degree (causal and reduced listening [depending on the listener and music])- respectively.
