Rare Footage from 2002

2000s

Explore 68 rare behind-the-scenes clips and footage of famous musicians from 2002.

The 2000s in Music

The 2000s was defined by the digital revolution — the iPod, file sharing, and the collapse of the traditional music industry. Artists like The White Stripes, OutKast, Amy Winehouse, Kanye West, and Arctic Monkeys thrived in a fragmented landscape. YouTube launched in 2005, creating a new home for rare and behind-the-scenes footage. Many clips from this era were originally shared on early platforms like MySpace, Google Video, or personal blogs — and some have since disappeared, making surviving footage increasingly valuable.
