2000s music videos
Explore 2000s music videos on AltSounds.TV, a human-curated channel for watching official music videos, classics, deep cuts and genre-spanning releases from the decade that reshaped how music videos were made, shared and discovered. The 2000s music video channel currently features 1,462 videos spanning 1996-2010, including videos connected to artists such as Kanye West, Eminem, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Biffy Clyro, The Streets, Super Furry Animals, Shakira, Brad Paisley and Toby Keith.
This page is designed for anyone looking for the best music videos of the 2000s, official 2000s music videos, decade-based music video discovery, or a clearer way to browse the visual culture of the early digital music era. Instead of relying only on search engines, social feeds or disconnected video results, AltSounds.TV organises music videos by decade, artist, genre and related channel.
The 2000s were a major turning point for the music video. The decade connected the final years of traditional music television with the rise of online video, digital downloads, social discovery and searchable archives. Music videos still mattered as big cultural events, but they also became easier to revisit, share and rediscover outside scheduled television programming.
What the 2000s music video channel covers
The 2000s channel brings together music videos from across rock, pop, hip-hop, electronic, R&B, country, indie, alternative, metal, punk, emo, dance, folk and singer-songwriter music. It includes mainstream hits, underground releases, live sessions, archive performances, director-led videos and genre-specific clips from across the period.
The page is organised as a decade channel, which means viewers can explore music videos from the 2000s without needing to search artist by artist. You can start with the full 2000s music videos channel, then move into related discovery routes such as All Genres, Time Travel, Alternative, Pop, Rock, Electronic, Hip Hop, R&B, Dance and Country.
The 2000s page also sits between the 1990s music videos archive and the 2010s music videos channel, making it useful for comparing the music television era with the digital-first decade that followed.
Why the 2000s matter for music videos
The 2000s changed the way music videos circulated. Earlier decades were shaped heavily by television programming, but the 2000s pushed the format into a more searchable, shareable and replayable environment. A video could still launch through traditional media, but it could also spread through websites, blogs, fan forums, social platforms and online video services.
This changed the role of the music video. It was still a promotional tool, but it also became part of an artist’s searchable identity. Fans could return to videos repeatedly, compare versions, share links, build playlists and discover older clips alongside new releases. The result was a decade where visual culture became more accessible and more fragmented at the same time.
The 2000s were also visually broad. The decade included high-budget pop videos, nu metal performance clips, emo and pop-punk storytelling, indie rock live energy, hip-hop narrative videos, electronic club visuals, country storytelling, R&B performance videos and experimental work from artists and directors using the format in different ways.
