It could be Paranoid Android by Radiohead.
The guy (cartoon) from the video sits on a light pole and an one helicopter flies around, and eventually rescues him, but it's not exactly at the end. Your memory may be tricking you.

My Morning Jacket - "Touch Me I'm Going To Scream Pt. 2"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWRQ6_yrjrs
Had to go into my facebook archives for this after searching all night.

Only song I can think of is.
Coldplay - Adventure of a Lifetime
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtXby3twMmI
hook: You make me feel alive again...feeling magical

After a month, it randomly came to me. The song I was thinking of was Kick In The Teeth by Papa Roach. Thanks again to those who attempted to guess, though! I know there wasn't much to go on.

After some research (that is not really my kind of music ;)) i found this video:
Snoop Dogg - Doggfather Feat. Charlie Wilson (Official Video)
It is in black and white and has this typical 20s Prohibition-area-style like you describe in your question. Maybe this is it?
5
The music video is for the Talking Heads song "Road To Nowhere". Here is the music video on Youtube. Talking Heads was an educated guess; I figured only David Byrne would feature a jogging man (himself) in front of a white background and a weird zoomed up shot of his mouth.

I was looking for a music video like this too...i found the one i was after....It's Morcheeba - enjoy the ride. It has much what you're describing (animated, cemetery, ghosts, wave etc) but its a wind wave they surf on at end. Youtube video here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YUPA0C60YDE
Oh ya and it came out in 2010 following your timeline.

I guess is Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai. it fits with all the descriptions you made in your question.

The only video I have ever know to have a girl get hit by a car and plays backwards is "Easton Corbin - I Can't Love You Back" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl1f0IBCTds
But sound wise I can not ever see it being confused with Interpol, which "Untitled" in fact is in black and white/Sepia and can be seen here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GixPQHAR8Ds

Does anyone recognize this song in which the rapper goes through what appears to be an ancient tomb?
The name of the rapper is Joey Bada$$ and song title is Christ Conscious.

Nagisa Shirai's 2001 rendition, choreographed by Angelin Preljocaj, may be a match.
Link to a video here. Clearly you may wish whether this is safe for work, depending on your IT department's policy on uneven surfaces.

I know this is late but you're looking for ScHoolboy Q - JoHn Muir.
All these elements match:
Video shot from the side of a car
They rob stores
They end killed
Cops come at the end

Is it 'Walk' by 'Foo Fighters'?
3
The Time We Lost Our Way by Thievery Corporation.
The woman walking in a forest and a red ribbon.
The band sitting playing the instruments.

It is DNCE - Cake By The Ocean.

What about Daft Punk's Around the World music video?
The song features in their first album, "Homework", released in 1997, and was released as a single the same year.
According to your description, the "video consists of one set – a multi-colored, multi-tiered construction of steps".
It involves five groups of kind-of-dancers, each composed by four ...

Duuuuude!!! I know exactly what song you’re talking about, and came across this blog while looking for it too, it’s too funny.
That song randomly played on my Pandora one day and I couldn’t believe it!
I was looking for this song for hours.
Here it is (notice that there is a featuring artist):
Kings of Summer (ft. Quinn XCII) - ayokay
Adults (two women ...

The only band I know with "Rusted" in the name is "Rusted Root". A quick search of their music videos turned up this video, including the hippies, the mountain and the magic door:
Send Me on My Way (1995)

The description fits Bad Rain by Slash. There's a an animated music video with a guy going into a bar
Watching long-haired, big-breasted stripper:
And she's later releasing a snake from a tattoo on her back (this part differs a bit from description as her hair doesn't actually transform; still a snake is a snake):
The video was released in 2012 and Slash ...

Could it be this, a song called "Sing" by the group Travis:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYO1-gGWJyo
I feel it ticks all the boxes; muted food fight, over five years old, thrown seafood and a weird noise at the start.

Are you looking for 'Tunak tunak tun' by Daler Mehndi? Here's the link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTIIMJ9tUc8

Sounds like Muse's Undisclosed Desires video and lyrics.
The word "heart" in the lyrics:
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
(. . .)
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
You can also see the heart in the background.
3
The song is Arcade Fire's The Suburbs.
You can see the teenagers enjoying life, having fun, but I some point, things go bad and one gets indeed beaten up at 4:41.
The guy that works in a fast food:

Cleopatra - Cleopatra’s theme (Cleopatra comin at ya) ?
It’s unmistakably British though
https://youtu.be/uQQFh2YQP2s

Is it Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard?

Check out this video of Seafret - Atlantis. It features a boy and a creature that looks a little like one of the "Wild Things," except that it is all white. Perhaps is this one?
It's set by a lake, and has a fire at the beginning, if either of those elements ring a bell.

Ok, jumping over the edge with this,
could it be Animal Collective's "Today's Supernatural" ? matches the description, although there are also flying forearms
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47xbkT3calM

The Gorillaz "Clint Eastwood" (2001) matches the cartoon style, and the little girl in the cemetery. No waves, surf or totem, however, and instead of ghosts, it's monkey zombies.
2
The song is Infinity Guitars by Sleigh Bells.
As you can see on the picture below (from the music clip):
The lead singer woman has black hair.
We can see a mailbox exploding behind her.

I think your looking for this video who is indeed a music video for Interpol's song Untitled, and as Angst said, directed by Tom McPhee and Steve Parsons for a college project.
Video is in black and white.
A girl is hit by a car, and the whole clip is backwards.
