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.
