Technology Complex Presents: The 100 Best Internet Videos of the 2000’s

Over the last month, our Best of the 2000s blowout has produced some heated debates (In case you missed ’em: Top 100 Albums | Top 100 Sneakers | Top 100 Movies), and we think this week’s list will be no different.

See, more than anything, the Aughts have been all about watching videos on the internet. Over the last decade, we’ve witnessed the birth of the viral video through a series of important events: the first cell phone with a camera was introduced in 2001, YouTube was founded in 2005, and Nah Right started embedding videos in 2006. We assembled a comprehensive countdown of the decade’s 100 Best Internet Videos, from our favorite mainstream memes to some hilarious hip-hop blogosphere classics, for your viewing pleasure.

Style Retail Spotlight: MEMES NYC

The term “meme” has been given new life by the Internet in recent years, but the word—which refers to culture+ideas that spread among large groups of people—has been around much longer than the Web. The NYC store MEMES, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, certainly has an infectious, addictive quality that goes straight to its origins. Of the store’s address on Jones St., founder Merwin Andrade of Zero Traders says: “The location was chosen due to its history of music relevance.” Jazz greats Charlie Mingus and Miles Davis would go around the corner to Jones Alley to shoot up, basically coining the term “jonesing.”

MEMES stays strong by carrying dope brands such as Alexander McQueen X Puma, Jeremy Scott, Umbro by Kim Jones, Triko, Christopher Bevans and Mad Anthony. Check out images of the shop below…
