MTV Rewind was built to feel like a place, not a feed.
If MTV Rewind has meant something to you, if you’ve ever left it on in the background, discovered something new, or if you just appreciate that a space like this exists you can support it here:

MTV Rewind is proof that proof that the internet wants to feel like a place again.
I'll see you there.
He told me everybody’s fly: Spoke with Fab 5 Freddy about the earliest days of hip-hop, the start of Yo! MTV Raps, and his new memoir.
Does he know about MTV rewind?

Every archive that matters was built by someone who decided culture was worth preserving more than the paperwork was worth filing.
The Library of Alexandria didn't have a TOS.

I feel really good about my odds applying just now for the
Claude AI ambassador community.
Wish me luck 🤞
The Balkan/Eastern European region needs a 850 year old dino AI mentor with over 100 repos that all have hosted working projects many of which Claude lent a helping hand.
Shipping things to Albania is not a vibe
Might be hard for me to collect in Albania 🇦🇱 😂
Oh dang
Every era in history has had:
•patrons
•curators
•archivists
•hosts
•caretakers
Right now, the dominant system pretends those roles are obsolete —
replaced by “the market” or “the feed.”
They aren’t obsolete.
They’ve just been hidden.
Build quiet rooms. Hold the door.
You know its a good day when
@aiww.bsky.social follows you.
Algorithmic exhaustion is real
People will abandon feeds when given a calmer alternative.
That's the internet I want to live in.
Mark Goodman told the @nytimes.com
he wished there was more Mark on MTV REWIND.
Now he's the Featured VJ of the Week with his own channel - 50+ videos of young Mark with his legendary wild hair introducing the legends who shaped music history.
His legacy deserves this spotlight. 🎙️✨"

ALSO 💭 VH1 POP-UP VIDEO IS BACK... BUT LIVE!
I'm typing facts in Albania. 2,000+ viewers around the world see them pop up simultaneously over the same music video. 🤯
Nobody has ever done this before. Not Twitch. Not YouTube. Nobody.

🔴 MTV REWIND JUST WENT LIVE
Everyone watching sees the EXACT SAME VIDEO at the EXACT SAME MOMENT.
No algorithm. No personalization. No rewind.
Just like real MTV in 1987.
1,600+ people are already in the room together RIGHT NOW.
This is what we lost. This is what we're bringing back.
Music videos are the most continuous, global, youth-driven, visually experimental art record of the last 70–80 years.
The fact that we’ve never treated them like it says a lot about how we value culture.
MTV REWIND Built in 48 hours by one person. No ads. No algorithm. No login.
Just 50,000 music videos and pure nostalgia.
This is what the internet was supposed to be. 🎬📺
