Why We Play Music Videos (And Why It Matters)

Walk into Catalyst and you’ll notice something different right away: the TVs aren’t showing sports. They’re playing music videos. The classics — the kind that tell a story, blow your mind, and actually make you feel something.

We grew up on MTV back when it actually played music. Those videos shaped how we heard songs — they added layers, emotion, and visual storytelling that audio alone can’t touch. So every screen here stays tuned to classic music videos, from the ’70s through the 2000s.

It builds an atmosphere you can’t fake. Kids discover bands their parents grew up on, parents get hit with nostalgia mid-bite, and everyone gets to experience music the way it was meant to be seen — over a slice, between high scores.
