Website VMA website

The MTV Video Music Award for Best Rock Video was first given out in 1989, and it was one of the four original genre categories added to the VMAs that year. In its first year, the award was called Best Heavy Metal Video, and from 1990 to 1995, it was renamed Best Metal/Hard Rock Video. The category underwent a third, brief name change in 1996, when it was renamed Best Hard Rock Video. Finally, in 1997 the award acquired its present name, Best Rock Video, and was presented as such until 2006, as the following year the VMAs were revamped and most original categories were eliminated. In 2008, though, MTV brought back this category, along with several of the others that were retired in 2007.


Aerosmith and Linkin Park are the biggest nominees of this award, with eight nominations apiece. Aerosmith, however, is also the biggest winner, with a total of four wins between 1990 and 1998. Fall Out Boy and the Foo Fighters follow closely behind in terms of nominations, with each band receiving seven (as of 2018). In 1995, White Zombie's bassist Sean Yseult became the first woman to win. In 2014, New Zealand singer Lorde became the first female solo act to win the award with her music video "Royals".
