MTV Generation

The MTV Generation refers to the adolescents and young adults of the 1980s to the mid-1990s, a time when many were influenced by the television channel MTV, which launched in 1981.[1] The term is another way of referring to Generation X.[2][3] The development of MTV "had an immediate impact on popular music, visual style, and culture".[4] Through this impact, MTV has shaped the MTV Generation and a new "cultural force".[5]
