In advance of the MTV Video Music Awards show tonight, many old-timers on Twitter have a common reminiscence: Remember when music videos were actually the main feature of the now-teen-reality-show-clogged music network?
Those were the days.
The VMA's are on tonight. My Lord. Remember when MTV had music videos instead of reality shows?

I feel old… I remember when BET or MTV used to play music videos or music shows more than anything else.

I don't wanna date myself, but I remember when Syfy was about science fiction, not sharks. Kinda like I remember MTV playing music videos.

Tonight is the MTV music video awards. Don't you have to at least show music videos to have an awards show for them?

So tonight is the MTV Music Awards. I didn't realize MTV even showed music videos any longer.
