Do you know your Britney from your Beyonce? Were you Team Eminem or Team Kanye? And did you have those apple bottom jeans and the boots with the fur?! Test your knowledge with these 2000s Music Quiz Questions & Answers!

The 00s was the decade of pop music and sing-a-long songs, producing classics that are still belted out at parties, danced to at celebrations and absolutely loved to this day.

If you were to ask anyone what music represented the 00s, they’d probably tell you that boy bands and girl groups (or their newly detached solo artists) dominated that charts. And the Girl Power movement started by the Spice Girls was alive and kicking with strong females such as Shakira telling us her ‘Hips Don’t Lie‘, Avril Lavigne asking why things have to be so ‘Complicated’; not to mention Queen B herself, Beyonce going solo and getting us all ‘Crazy in Love‘.

In contrast to other decades, we didn’t see the emergence of many new styles of music, pop music reigned supreme and rock music kept on rocking, R&B kept us dancing and bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco and Paramore were the soundtrack to everyone’s emo angst.

So after that brief introduction to the music of the 00s, we hope you’re excited to test your knowledge with some 2000s music trivia – or find the perfect questions to add to your next quiz night or pub quiz. We hope you enjoy it!
