Imagine to be 16 years old and listening to Metallica, RHCP, Korn, Limp Bizkit but also Britney, Christina, Destiny Child, TLC, Janet Jackson, Eminem, Ricky Martin, Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Moby, Enya, Not Doubt, Fast Boy Slim all mixed together on iPod 📱 😂 that’s me waiting for the 2000s VMA and then I recorded this show on VHS 😎
@@notthatsrssrsly I can guarantee you that's true. People were saying how much the 2000s sucks and that the 90s or 80s to earlier were better. People are always going to complain because it's past their childhood. I was in that camp. Though I will say there's tons of shitty music from the 2000s to today but it's obscure stuff and not stuff like Justin Bieber.
It truly was a time.. especially for any millennial 13-19 years old... this is final moment of life as we knew it before 9/11, cell phones, reality TV, and the Internet social media era changed society forever.
@@coreyo.conner7897 I wasn't 13 when this came out. I was about 7 but I remember watching it live with my cousins. Yup. This is life before 9/11. Before the country would change forever.
It really is a trip to remember being 13 watching this…. I was soooo innocent and ignorant to the realities of the world and the internet allows kids to mature rapidly again. It is wild seeing the old commercials too for products that didn’t work at all lol. Life is just wild
Jesus man this takes me back..that shot of the wtc...i was lucky enough to be there that night and maybe I'ma little Biased because of it but even if i wasn't there i still think this would be my all time favorite award show.. back when MTV was still Music Television
Awwww...look at Baby Beyonce(she had just turned 19yrs old a few days before the award show). She was very young, and just radiating with star quality.
I believe they would have LOVED Aaliyah crashing an interview w/ the lame John Norris!!!!!! Aaĺiyah in 2000 had just scored her first No.1 on the Hot 100 and her debut film Romeo Must Die opened at No.1.. Aaliyah was an icon in the making, just like Bey
I feel the like 2000s there were so many genre’s it was easy for people to win awards. Now everything just sounds identical there’s no stand out artist
Top rappers always have something for their fans to be ashamed of... from 2pac's dark side to Eminem's silly bs beefs and JayZ's ugly face and his goddamn squealy voice lol
DUDE! I've been looking everywhere for an MTV Skateboarding Featuring Andy Macdonald commercial from 2000, and your video HAD IT! (14:37) Thank you! I'll be using that commercial in an upcoming video and you'll be credited in the description.
Came her to gawk at Britney's pop princess aura, and now screaming "cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort!" from the peak of my lungs. what a time!!! 😂 millennial music taste = everything & anything 😂
This was the last era when icons were made. Most of these artists are still around. Anything after 2008 people have come and go. Im 30. Ive been in the crossfire between the old ways and new ways. Ive seen a huge difference. But that's just life.
Everyone just enjoying themselves without being on there phone..ya the 2000’s weren’t as good as the 80’s, 90’s but I feel this was the last era of realness in the world before social media ruined it.
Papa Roach couldn’t even perform on the main show and in the building. Today they would be the closing act. Shows you how far music and talent has fallen in 22.5 bleeping years, BayBay

How to forget Pink, U2, Macy Gray, Sugar Ray, Alanis, *NSYNC, Aaliyah ❤ and J.Lo
I grew up in that time.
Genz Z jealous?
I was right there with you...just about to start my junior year of high school.
Ipods werent out at the time of this. It was still cd players.
Love this era so nostalgic 😢😢😢
That's the era when we last heard, listened, and enjoyed real music. Any genre, any style, been liked by any tastes.
True
you realize that the older generation was saying the same thing about their era in comparison to the current music back then, right?

@@notthatsrssrsly yea but the 90s to 2000s generation are actually valid lol. the music was great.
People say this about every year of music lol
BRITNEY VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS
You wish
Britneyyyyyyyyyyy in my wife voice.. got to represent.. my wife loves Britney💯❤
@@user-rw2dr5my1s its not a wish its the truth. Everyone talked about Britney performance the next day
@@user-rw2dr5my1s it’s definitely not a “you wish” situation. Britney was THE shit.
I’m watching this for Britney
I miss this world
Memories. What a time to be alive and old enough to remember watching this live.
It truly was a time.. especially for any millennial 13-19 years old... this is final moment of life as we knew it before 9/11, cell phones, reality TV, and the Internet social media era changed society forever.

yes
Yup
honestly the last great era of music
True the early 2000s was the last era of Music legends.
this will always be the BEST VMA of all time
Back when young people’s music was way better and more popular compared to in 2023. I was 11 years old at the time. Great memories!
_Aaliyah_ and *Britney* 😍😍
Jesus man this takes me back..that shot of the wtc...i was lucky enough to be there that night and maybe I'ma little Biased because of it but even if i wasn't there i still think this would be my all time favorite award show.. back when MTV was still Music Television

RUclips is THE BEST time machine you guys🤭🙌🏽😂
Man I enjoyed watching 2000 vmas I remember this one loved it🙂
OMG this takes me back to being 19. I remember watching & getting excited. Because back then you never knew what to expect. I really miss those days.
Aaliyah was there , what if she would’ve walked in on destiny’s child red carpet interview 😩🔥
Nothing. She's not Janet Jackson
@@SteadyNUnremitting umm why you up here hating she was Janet to destiny’s child they loved her and aaliyah was one of Beyoncé’s influences
@@wwenewyork7570 no

@@coreyo.conner7897 umm sir aaliyah is already an icon 🙁
Im so happy i got to grow up with music like this kids now days will never know how amazing it was you were glued to the tv aka mtv

I feel the like 2000s there were so many genre’s it was easy for people to win awards. Now everything just sounds identical there’s no stand out artist
26:45 BRITNEY SPEARS 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Destiny's Child MTV VMA 2000. Number of members kicked to the curb: 3

Holy shit, man! I needed this today, what a throwback!
Love babyy Christina Aguilera 🤍🤍🤍
britneyy
I miss these days so much !
You and me man, you and me....
I was 13 when this came out. Definitely the projected audience. MTV was really so much fun this era.
thanks for uploading this!!! raw footage of the pre-show with mtv's bumpers and ads (and shady interview fun facts) is super cool to see
Oh god, The music was so much better and the people seemed so much more alive...too bad I couldn't live back then!
I remember 2gether 😭 better days better days
Aaliyah, P!NK, Sisqo and Britney Spears🫣✨✨✨✨💛🥲
Eminem was really 28 beefing with 19-year olds
What 19 year olds he beefed with?
He beefed with Christina Aguilera
@@kooldawg Britney spears was 18/19

britney spears is the best
omg Beyonce, Britney, Pink in one event
Brooooo, the memories!!! I used to wait for these to come on tv. Today’s awards is shit
Seeing Dora the Explorer ad on MTV show is WILD 😭
I love the old school commercials !
39:00 I forgot how tiny Christina used to be!!!🤯
Little diva love her ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Queen ❤
Those were the days to be 13 and watch the VMAs.
Can’t believe this was 23 years ago
The Dora ad ☠️☠️
0:15 Hits me in the feels 🙏🏾
Britney beautiful😍
Papa Roach being the first performance is KILLING ME
Did he hit himself in the head multiple times
Same here but at the same time I'm kinda bumping my head hard and getting my life to this performance
damn eminem was so huge in the early 2000's
This has to be the best MTV award show. I remember running home from school just to watch this preshow.
This is a dream... All My fave artist
Destiny's Child looks so beautiful.
Aaliyah said she got there on a 22 hour flight.This was days or months before her plane went down. :(
This Was A Year Before!
Maybe even months usually VMA’s were done in late August early September.
This aired 9/7/2000, Baby girl Aaliyah passed away 8/25/2001 right before World trade center tragedy... 😢
:(
Thank u took me way back..
21:55 them transitioning from the “Glad” protesting Eminem into Mandy Moore saying she wants Eminem to win the viewers choice award is hilarious
Britney 😍
Came her to gawk at Britney's pop princess aura, and now screaming "cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort!" from the peak of my lungs. what a time!!! 😂 millennial music taste = everything & anything 😂
I like how they show up in Limousines instead of the tall vans lol
Hearing Papa Roach takes me back……
The golden era of american pop...nobody do it like these anymore these days
Bono denying that 'All That You Can't Leave Behind' was a return to "old U2" is kinda funny in hindsight XD
wish i was alive at this time but i was born in 2001 😢
Aaaawwwh it's okay
I low-key know how u feel
I m like 5 years older than you tho so don't feel bad😂
Me too😢
Wow can’t believe this was 23 years ago
eminem is Eminem
This was the last era when icons were made. Most of these artists are still around. Anything after 2008 people have come and go. Im 30. Ive been in the crossfire between the old ways and new ways. Ive seen a huge difference. But that's just life.
This is Gold !!!
