Michael Jackson was making music before MTV even existed.

He was 6 at the time.

MTV started almost two decades later.

And there were music TV programmes before MTV. What changed the game was the concept of a Music Video. Read the book or the history of media about the impact of that moment.

MTV also did not come up with the concept of a music video, in fact they were about a half decade late to that particular party. You are making a bunch of unqualified statements that are incorrect and then you tell others to read books?
