Videos Occupy Bored Juniors ‘‘I want to see the face of the sound,” said Junior Jeana Bauer about Music Television, better know as MTV. This cable channel devoted 24 hours a day to music videos and specials. Since MTV began three years ago, its popularity soared. One reason for this was that the viewer does not have to be stationary while watching. ”1 just flip through the channels, and if I see a video I like, I’ll watch it.” said Junior Heather Best. Junior Ryan Trainer believed that its popularity was due to the “unusual music that you would not normally hear on the radio.” Some examples were Siouxsie and the Banshees, Depeche Mode. Echo and the Bunnymen, and Blancmange. For a video to catch Junior Lea Elepano's eye “it has to be a good song, with a good beat.” Some of her favorite bands to watch were the popular pop-dance bands Culture Club, Wham!, and Australia’s Eurogliders. Weekend programming on MTV brought The Saturday Night Concert and Sunday Special. The viewers were led all over the U.S. and Europe to preview upcoming and established groups. “Out of all the Sunday Specials, I enjoy watching Liner Notes, London Calling, and The Cutting Edge,” commented Junior Andrea Lewis. Unlike the radio, this music medium may be viewed as an artform. Students found watching their favorite groups more exciting than just listening to them. Edie DeBruyn commented. “When you hear a song on the radio, the accompanying video changes how you feel when you see it.” Rogan Brunet confessed, “If the guy who sings the Popular The Wild Boys Wake Me Up Before You GoGo Glamorous Life Let’s Go Crazy Some Guys Have All the Luck I Feel For You Out of Touch Like A Virgin Cruel Summer The War Song I Just Called To Say I Love You Sunglasses At Night Desert Moon Jungle Love You Take Me Up Do They Know It’s Christmas We Are The World Private Dancer Rock-n-Roll Party All Night Keep On Running Still Loving You Coming Back I Can't Drive 55 Hot For Teacher Too Young To Fall In Love Round and Round Satisfied Man We’re Not Going To Take It Heaven's On Fire Turn Up The Radio Born In The U.S.A.

Anyone who was exposed to it. knew that it could be addicting. Ryan Trainer confirmed, “It's non-motivating and it wastes time.” But this flaw did not bother the average MTV junkie. His response to the negative aspects? “I want my MTV!” By S.
