The eighties brought us the age of watching music at home as something new and exciting. By the nineties, we had a variety of music channels which allowed for us to view different types, styles and eras of music either with live performances or music videos.
VH-1 allowed for one audience while MTV targeted a more youthful demographic.
Today there is less music and more reality shows on both stations. The future of pop music is being created with the advent of music reality shows, like American Idol and America's Next Rock Band, which eat away at the very fabric of what music is supposed to epitomize…creativity. This trend began before reality shows were created for musicians.
Some musicians were made a reality, in Orlando Florida with Britney, Backstreet , Christina and NSYNC reigning the charts in the late nineties and early millennia. But now looking back, was that more credible?
The reality of reality television is not very real at all. Will the future hold the same for music?
