Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
From 1986 to 2013, people interested in getting their alternative music video fix turned to MTV’s 120 Minutes. As advertised, 120 Minutes was a two hour block filled with interviews and videos from artists not normally featured on the channel like They Might Be Giants, The New Pornographers, and Archers Of Loaf in video from break out luminaries like Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, and Chris Cunningham. Even when MTV veered away from playing music videos entirely, this small bastion of the new and alternative soldiered on—eventually venturing to MTV2, where it was rebranded as Subterranean and eventually ended in 2013. Luckily, this being the Internet, there is work being done to preserve this legacy.
