Club MTV was a half hour television show molded after American Bandstand that aired on MTV between the years 1985 and 1992. Club MTV was part of MTV's second generation of programming when they were phasing out the original 5 VJs and introducing new ones. Hosted by Downtown Julie Brown (Kevin Seal hosted the pilot) at The Palladium a large dance club in New York City, the show cut back and forth between teenagers dancing to a hit dance song and the video of that hit. In later shows they would dance exclusively to freestyle music. Occasionally there were musical guests who performed a couple of their new singles.

With the rise in popularity of Freestyle music Club MTV began using the music nearly exclusively with a few house and hip hop songs thrown in. In 1989 MTV introduced a companion show for Friday nights called Street Party that aired the complete videos of songs used on Club MTV.

People who disliked Club MTV often referred to it as Flub MTV .
