MTV stopped playing music videos 20 years ago. MTV REWIND brings back the golden era of music television - 35,000 videos spanning 1970-2025 across 8 channels (70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s, Yo! MTV Raps, Headbangers Ball). No ads. No algorithm. No login. Just press play and discover music the way it used to be - completely random, completely free. Built in 48 hours as a passion project. The nostalgia hits different.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
MTV was how I discovered music growing up. You'd turn it on and just... watch. No algorithm deciding what you see, no endless scrolling - just pure random discovery.
When MTV shut down their 24/7 music video channels after 44 years, I felt genuinely sad. So I spent last weekend coding this from my apartment in Albania.
48 hours later: MTV REWIND - 27,000 music videos spanning 1970-2025.
8 channels: 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s, Yo! MTV Raps, Headbangers Ball.
The random shuffle is chaotic perfection. Last night I got Depeche Mode → Metallica → Cardi B in 10 minutes. That's the magic of true randomness.
Completely free forever. No ads, no login, no algorithm. If it brings back memories, there's a coffee button to keep the servers running.
Would love to hear what you think! Any bugs or channel requests, let me know.

this is awesome! Just like the old days Random great music playing without fucking AI algos keeping you in a cell! Kudos guys!
Monetization idea: To keep the good music vibing and make it exclusive as it gets on ads. Do one ad (max 20 seconds) every 5 songs. And you are golden. Ad space becomes exclusive so good money and it doesnt fuck up the flow... 20 seconds ads for every 15ish minutes of music is a great ratio!

No algo + no login is kinda refreshing honestly. How’re you handling licensing/rights for 35k videos… are these embedded from YouTube/Vevo or hosted yourselves? Also curious if there’s any “schedule” vibe like old MTV (blocks, VJ intros) or it’s pure shuffle
This is what the internet should be. Built in 48 hours and already a cultural rescue mission with 35K+ videos? Insane. The random flow is so refreshing after years of curated feeds. Just discovered the triple-click secret — nice touch! 🔥 Rooting for this to live forever. What channel are you bumping most right now?
This gives me total Galaxy News Radio vibes but for the MTV generation.Just like how I leave the radio on in Fallout to keep me sane while wandering the wasteland, this is the perfect 'always-on' background noise for my daily grind. It feels like finding a functioning TV in a Vault that's stuck on the golden era. Love it.
This is incredible nostalgia done right—instant, ad-free MTV vibes with 24/7 channels by decade, Yo! MTV Raps and Headbangers Ball feels like a love letter to music TV’s golden era.
