Popular Hard Rock/Metal/Punk(ish) Music Videos (2020)
An unscientific sampling of some of the most popular Hard Rock, Metal, Punk(ish), and adjacent subgenre music videos released in 2020. In cases where there is more than one video for a particular song (official music video + official audio track + lyric video, etc.) I chose the most popular version and included that one only. I did include older tracks (remasters, live versions) so long as the video was uploaded in 2020.
I undoubtedly missed something (if only I were a data scientist). If you see a glaring omission, tell me! The good news is, this post lives on the Stream N’ Destroy substack page, and can be updated regularly even once the initial email has gone out.
I did not include reaction videos, commentary videos, interviews, “so-and-so plays their favorite riffs” videos or anything that isn’t just a straight-up song.
