19-2000 comes from Gorillaz, the virtual band created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, and appeared on their self-titled debut album in 2001 before being released as a single. The track became one of the group's early hits, helped by its animated video and remix versions that reached wider audiences. Online, the intro has lived on as a shorthand for turn of the millennium pop culture, frequently reused in edits, playlists and nostalgia compilations long after its original chart run.
À propos de ce son
The iconic intro from Gorillaz 19-2000 with its funky bassline and synth hook, used in edits, nostalgia posts and meme videos for an instant 2000s vibe.
This is the opening ten seconds of 19-2000 by Gorillaz, built around a bouncy synth riff, a laid back drum groove and that instantly recognisable funky bassline. The intro feels bright, cartoonish and slightly surreal, matching the virtual band's animated world. It does not build slowly, it drops the hook straight away, which is why it grabs attention in the first second of a video. Listeners often associate it with early 2000s nostalgia, skate culture and carefree summer energy, making even a simple clip feel cooler and more playful without any dialogue.
