Y2K at MTV ft. Carson Daly, Jay-Z, Christina Aguilera & More (1999) | You Had To Be There 

These were the wonderful days of MTV. Loved watching MTV as a pre-teen in this era

Back when people were actually fun and the parties were better

Back when everyone thought they were gonna die that night lol

MTV was so much fun and exciting to watch at that time.

The world was a much more fun place back then

I remember this. Pre 9/11. No social media. No PC or political agendas. Was a great time

It truly was the 'end of the world as we know it' at this time... Perfect song choice for the next 20 plus years after this aired!

Life was so much more simpler before 9/11 happened then the plague that is the social media ruined things. So glad I grew up in the 90s.

Whenever i hit the nostalgia throwback binge, 1999 to 2001, i usually remember those R&B and Pop singers who always had been in MTV countdown, especially Sisqo, year of the dragon 🐉

Love me some Christina ❤️✨

I miss the 90s so much. We had no idea what we had.

Gawd, what an epic time to be alive and a precocious teen in 1999/2000! We are lucky af for real. At 38, I'm just so giddy even watching this and reliving the moment of seeing this LIVE 😎👌🏾👏🏾😍💫💃🏾

Christina looks ADORABLE!!!

I miss 1999 things were so much simpler back then being 10 years old before 911 unlike today

There's always a bunch of comments that say "back when this and that" from people who aren't even 25 yet

20 years ago, where did the time go?! :O

Cool footage. Could you put up some TRL?

Wow this was only his 3rd year doing this..I grew up on this man and these MTV new years specials

Stop playing with me and bring back your good shows

I came here to remember the best night of my life, glad I was there.

I remember watching this live! I was 15 and thinking if all the computers were gonna shut down at midnight. Ah,good times ; ) Please upload some TRL stuff!

Bro MTV was once the biggest thing for Teens on TV.. only 23 years later and tech has CHANGED!

Man this looked fun! I wish I was old enough to see that live but I was only 6 back then 😩

MTV in the past were good! : ) I only wish to watch MTV shows and music videos back in the past without watching MTV shows in 2020.

No phones allllll the time. People in the present , before social media took over. I miss it.

For those that weren’t born yet or were too young to remember, I was 15 when this aired, and I can’t even describe how amazing and chill life was in this time period. The population was so good to each other, and everyone was just cool. Granted, it wasn’t perfect and there were still some a-holes here and there, but overall it was so nice. Everyone had money in their pockets. Things were so affordable. Gas was like $1.19/gallon. Then 9/11 happened and things started getting weird. More restrictions, and more of a tense atmosphere with big events, especially. But things were still pretty much good for the rest of the 2000’s, and then the financial depression of 2008 hit and things got bad. Social media started taking off around this time with MySpace and then Facebook. They were fun at first, especially MySpace. But we had no clue how much it would eventually divide us. We recovered around 2011-2012, but things were never the same. Around 2012, there was a huge negative energy shift…endless mass shootings. We also found out Google and social media was spying on us and sharing our data with everyone. That “safe” internet was not so safe anymore. That completely shattered our youth and image of these once fun and safe places. Then dating/hookup apps took off around 2013-2014….further dividing men and women, reducing people down to a quick snapshots of a pictures and nothing more. I hate to be negative, but just giving a realistic perspective. In retrospect, because things changed dramatically and never were the same after 2008, that’s when life as we knew it pretty much ended.

THE GREATEST OF TIMES!!!!! Eminem major label debut came out in early 1999 & was about to take over the world. Please take me back.

This was definitely an every once in a lifetime New Years Eve celebration since it was not really a sign of the apocalypse like everyone thought but just the beginning of the 3rd millennium we are in now but you really had to be there when MTV kicked off their 2000 and bid farewell to the old millennium

I wonder where I was when I was young and did not celebrate New Year's Eve Party in 1999? Oh, wait. I was sleeping. : 0

Thank you, MTV for making me love production!

the kids are like the old man on the news was a cool Mtv host? lol

Back when people still named their kids Carson haha

For those that watch NBC the voice like me No Doubt = Team Gwen Christina Aguilera = Season 10 Winning coach and Carson Daly is the show host 2011-spring 2013 he had another co-host on that show

Little did a lot of them know. Their careers were soon to be over with the new year

I like Kathy's hair!

Lmao Blink-182 looked the most fun

23 years into the next 1000 and we’ve already ruined everything 👍🏻💯

MTV, upload more videos of TRL!

Carson Daly is underrated

0:13 I only . Watched . The first . 13 . Secondsz.

Y’all should go back to music videos and TRL I’m telling you there’s a whole new generation that would love it but with new artists.

One artist MTV will never post is Mya and I’ll never understand why

Damn I was 7

Kathy Griffin!

See black nail polish isn’t a new trend. It’s been around. Lol

Zero social media

I didn't know that Jimmy Kimmel hosted MTV.
