Anyone watch those music reaction videos on YouTube?

Yeah, those videos are so over the top...they're exaggerating in order to get a rise from the people that have been fans of whatever music they're listening to. This panders to viewers feeling vindicated in their superior music tastes and then gets passed around saying "Look! These kids didn't know what they were missing! I was right all along!"

It's hard to find anything genuine on YouTube anymore. Everything is done for money.
 
Not sure the sincerity of this one but funny when girl realizes WAP was done back in the 80s by Sheena Easton called Sugerwalls done a lot more subtly
 
the first time i saw these it was interesting, after about the 3rd video they became staler than 10 day old toast
 
I hate to say it, but it feels like there are a lot of people where who don't realize how old they really are.

I get it, in my office we have a bunch of college aged people, and I sometimes forget how old I am when talking to them about things.

That being the case, In the Air Tonight was released in 1981. That was 41 years ago. It was released before these people in the Youtube videos were born.

Sorry guys, but a lot of us are old.

Do you really want to feel old? Watch these two young 20 somethings react to "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. This video got a lot of press, and was trending so you might had come across this a few weeks ago. What really got me are when young people react to a band like BonJovi and are like Bon who? lol, time flies.

Hell no.
Fuck no.
I don't watch any reaction videos. I have my own fucking reaction to shit. I don't need to watch others people's reactions to stuff. I also don't need laugh tracks in the shows I watch to know if they are funny or not.
As soon as see one in my feed, I immediately mark it as not interested or don't recommend channel.
The closest I come to watching "reaction videos" is Rick Beato's "What makes this song great series" who is a professional who breaks down songs and goes through the technical aspects of it.
 
I remember watching this video when this thread was posted and it was my first reaction video. It got old real fast.

I'd only watch a reaction video of an actual artist or musician I like hearing something new. although it's not like most would say anything mean so that kinda ruins that a bit.

otherwise who cares.

Was just talking about that. We regularly listen to (and enjoy) music that is 50, 60, and even 70 years old. Imagine being a fan of 40 year old music in 1981.

"In the Air Tonight is great and all, but Pensylvania 6-5000 is always going to be my jam!"

When I was in my youth, way back when watching scrambled playboy channel was still a thing,
I was that kid
My most worn cassette tapes included everything from Django Reinhardt to Robert Johnson to Van Halen to the Sugarqubes to Sviatoslav Richter to Def Leppard to countless Pianists banging away at the standard classics (Beethoven, Mozart, Lizts, silly Russian people and their brooding compositions and really good performances of Bug Bunny's favorite piano piece....
I even went through a polka phase.
I even had an 8-track player at one point where I had all sorts of random crap.

I also grew up in a different era where Radio stations were local and had actual people who would play whatever they felt like playing. Record stores where you could sit, listen and talk music all day and after walking 2 miles each way uphill in the snow where we didn't have cable but we did have a record player and a bunch of old records lying around...
Plus...some album covers had tits on them

Everything from just about every decade and an complete disgusts for anything County.
Fuck country.
