50 2000s Music Quiz Questions and Answers

It’s hard to believe that the 2000’s music scene was only 10 years long.

This singular decade brought us the boom of indie rock music, pop punk’s peak, and the last dawn of bubble-gum pop dominance.

Previously niche genres like emo and nu-metal took centre stage, while rap music surged in popularity with the mainstream public to new heights.

And yet, in a decade where numerous genres took the top spot, some things remained delightfully consistent, like Britney Spears having a top ten hit almost every year of the decade (9/10 of ‘em!).

Test your knowledge of an era that was post-Y2K, pre-social media (as we know it today), and perhaps the last decade where music didn’t take itself too seriously, with our 2000s music quiz questions and answers.
