    How have I been listening to this my whole life and am now just realizing how serious the lyrics are? They’re actually telling a story about the state of music, even for the 80’s, this is timeless!

    Many people do not realize this song is actually from 1979 -- it peaked at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1979. So these lyrics, as prophetic as they were, was both retrospective AND prospective in the 1970s!

    "Radio's NOT dead! But it is ending THIS brodcast."
    In all seriousness I actually remember hearing this on the radio (Oddly enough) growing up since my parents were big on going places during the weekends and we spent a good deal of time in the car. It just took me until I was in my teens to really understand what it was about. And of course was the first song that came to mind during that fight in Hazbin.

      ​@Seetiyan and I'm actually one of them. The irony of it is that it plays on the radio as you drive a car. A niche that in real life radio still fills to this day. I mean, you wouldn't watch videos while driving, otherwise you'd probably crash.

      GTA Vice City is how I know this song. The game is set in the 1980’s, a time when music videos were in their infancy but starting to dominate the music scene in a very insidious manner that would facilitate the rise of MTV. Strangely enough, come to think about it, the first song on MTV was none other than The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star.

      earlier performances, and the official video; MTVs first ever say VTR. At some point later in performances it became VCR. Makes sense 'cause when it was written and recorded (1979) the VCR was not yet common. Of course most people probably didn't know what a VTR was either. They were really only used in the television industry. There is a shot of a British VTR
      in the og video.

    I think video don't must kill radio. I like both. Also internet of course. Because radio is good to listen , video to watch. Internet can be connect with a lot of elements such like TV or social media etc. We have a lot of technologies in different media like in marketing [ materials of POS , PR ( public relation ) , ads in press etc. ]. Music change our awarness. It is interesting fact. I like this song with words such like oh-a-oh and rhytms also. Words in this music are awesome. Like in program called Got Talent. I can create own empire Macmedia Corporation. It is joke with this media empire. I reminded over video and radio. They should be like a marriage. I mean that it can connect news with other means of media. It would be great idea or It is now todaystime. It is interesting philosophy about it. If someone likes this short article , I can write next amazing news about cool topics. I wish RUclips , Audioandlyrics and all viewers the best day , good fun , health and positive thinking. Bye.

    If this song were to come out today, would it be called "video unalived the radio star"? Many RUclipsrs seem to avoid the word kill lately.

    1979: "video killed the radio star" 39 years later... "Mrbeast killed the PewDiePie star" now: "AI killed the everything star"
