2010s music videos
Explore 2010s music videos on AltSounds.TV, a human-curated channel for watching official music videos, modern classics, deep cuts and genre-spanning releases from one of the most important decades in digital music culture. The 2010s music video channel currently features 4,026 videos spanning 2007-2019, including videos connected to artists such as Arctic Monkeys, Kanye West, Bon Iver, Run The Jewels, Eminem, James Blake, Blood Orange and alt-J.
This page is designed for anyone looking for the best music videos of the 2010s, official music videos from the 2010s, decade-based music video discovery, or a more structured alternative to searching through disconnected video platforms. Instead of relying only on autoplay, social feeds or algorithmic recommendations, AltSounds.TV organises music videos by decade, artist, genre and related channel.
The 2010s were a major transition point for music videos. The decade moved further away from music television as the main discovery format and deeper into YouTube, streaming platforms, social media, smartphones and global digital distribution. Music videos became easier to publish, easier to share and easier to revisit, but also easier to lose inside endless feeds. The 2010s channel gives those videos a clearer archive structure.
What the 2010s music video channel covers
The 2010s channel brings together music videos from across alternative, indie, pop, rock, hip-hop, electronic, dance, R&B, country, folk, punk, metal and experimental music. It includes mainstream hits, independent releases, live sessions, artist-led visuals, director-led videos and genre-crossing releases from across the decade.
Because the channel is organised by decade, it provides a simple way to explore a full period of music video culture without needing to search artist by artist. You can start with the main 2010s music videos channel, then move into wider discovery routes such as All Genres, Time Travel, Alternative, Pop, Rock, Electronic, Hip Hop, R&B and Dance.
The 2010s page also sits between the 2000s music videos archive and the 2020s music videos channel, making it useful for comparing how music videos changed before and after the streaming and social media shift.
Why the 2010s matter for music videos
The 2010s changed the role of the music video. Videos were no longer built mainly for television rotation or traditional music channels. They became digital-first releases, search assets, fan moments, social objects, visual statements and long-term archive entries. A music video could break through because of a major artist campaign, a striking visual idea, a director’s style, a dance trend, a meme, a fan community or simple replay value.
This decade also widened the definition of what a music video could be. A 2010s music video might be a high-budget pop production, a low-budget indie clip, a cinematic short film, a live session, a dance-led visual, an animated video, a lyric-led release, a vertical-friendly concept or a stripped-back performance piece. The format became more open, more flexible and more closely tied to how audiences discover music online.
That makes the 2010s a useful decade to explore through video. The archive shows not only what artists released, but how they presented themselves visually during a period when online identity, video platforms and social sharing became central to music culture.
Artists represented in the 2010s archive
The 2010s channel includes artist pathways that make it easier to move from a decade view into a specific catalogue. These artist channels help connect individual videos to a wider body of work.
Arctic Monkeys
The Arctic Monkeys music video channel is one of the visible artist routes from the 2010s archive. Their videos are useful for exploring how a major guitar-led band moved through different visual identities across indie rock, alternative rock and wider popular culture during the decade.
Kanye West

The Bon Iver music video channel provides a route into the quieter, more atmospheric side of the 2010s archive. Bon Iver’s visual world connects with indie, folk, electronic texture, abstraction and emotionally restrained music video storytelling.

James Blake, Blood Orange and alt-J
The visible 2010s artist pathways also include James Blake, Blood Orange and alt-J. These channels are useful for exploring the decade’s more atmospheric, art-led and genre-blending side, where electronic production, indie music, R&B, alternative pop and visual experimentation often overlap.
