As an alternative to the twenty-four-hour video jukebox the channel had offered during its early years, MTV created an original cycle of scripted reality shows, including \u003ci\u003eLaguna Beach\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Hills\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe City\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCatfish\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eJersey Shore\u003c\/i\u003e, which were aimed at predominantly white youth audiences. In \u003ci\u003eMillennials Killed the Video Star\u003c\/i\u003e Amanda Ann Klein examines the historical, cultural, and industrial factors leading to MTV's shift away from music videos to reality programming in the early 2000s and 2010s. Drawing on interviews with industry workers from programs such as \u003ci\u003eThe Real World\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTeen Mom\u003c\/i\u003e, Klein demonstrates how MTV generated a coherent discourse on youth and identity by intentionally leveraging stereotypes about race, ethnicity, gender, and class. Klein explores how this production cycle, which showcased a variety of ways of being in the world, has played a role in identity construction in contemporary youth culture--ultimately shaping the ways in which Millennial audiences of the 2000s thought about, talked about, and embraced a variety of identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmanda Ann Klein is Associate Professor of Film Studies at East Carolina University, author of \u003ci\u003eAmerican Film Cycles: Reframing Genres, Screening Social Problems, and Defining Subcultures\u003c\/i\u003e, and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eCycles, Sequels, Spin-offs, Remakes, and Reboots: Multiplicities in Film and Television\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 26, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709742420031,"sku":"9781478011309","price":52.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/5cf45353fa102181537011512752d423.webp?v=1765052533","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/millennials-killed-the-video-star-mtvs-transition-to-reality-programming-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
