About Documentary Footage

Documentary footage provides context that no single clip can — it places the music, the artist, and the moment in a broader narrative. The best music documentaries combine interviews, performance footage, and behind-the-scenes access to tell stories that reveal truths about the creative process, the music industry, and the people who make the music we love.

The 2010s in Music

The 2010s saw streaming become the dominant way people consumed music, while social media transformed how artists connected with fans. Kendrick Lamar, Adele, Frank Ocean, Taylor Swift, and Tame Impala were among the decade’s most important artists. The proliferation of smartphones meant that nearly every moment could be filmed — but ironically, much of this footage is buried in social media feeds and stories that disappear within hours. The clips in this archive capture the behind-the-scenes moments that didn’t make the highlight reels.
