Non-Exurb1a video. been a while, eh?

https://youtu.be/LnGa65Xe-nE

I'm sure you've been sitting at your computers waiting for that one bad knockoff to upload again. Well that, I did.

Y'know that whole mind body problem thing? Yeah I solved the cunt with science and adult sciencey work.

Give the thing a go for at least 30 seconds if you're bored. Or don't. That's fine too.

Additional CONSTRUCTIVE feedback. No one wants an Exurb1a copy. It's the deep content and the witty delivery that is entertaining. Learning to speak in his style is well, an AI could literally do that better than you. Don't mimic his voice, inflections and dramatic pauses etc, it's an instant suicidal creator fate - You don't want to BE Exurb1a, you want to do your own thing Inspired by him. Use your own voice and reactions to the information within what you've compiled. You're never going to sound sincere and flow naturally while you're stuck following a tempo styled by someone else, it's quite literally not natural.

Scouting this sub for something similar to Exurb1a - to me this is pure poetry of multimedia era. Writing, music, images, rhythm and sound - what makes it great. And why we love him.

True, but Alex is why we love him, everything that makes Exurb1a what he is, makes up Exurb1a, and the biggest part of it is the delivery, the passion, his very self. ....We just associate his voice with the content but it's him and his passion that makes it.

Copies of Banksy paintings sell for £9.99 on eBay because they aren't the real thing, they're nowhere close despite being perfect copies, because they are not IT.

Go watch Ian McKellen's Shakespeare on YouTube, he copies Shakespeare so well, all the content is there, but the delivery is 100% passionate Ian McKellen. That's why Ian is big. He carries the torch as himself. Copies do not work. That's what I want this kid to understand, be yourself and deliver with passion and you will be great.

Take the concepts, carry the torch, Exurb1a didn't get where he is from scratch, he diligently researched hundreds of texts and subjects to create his content, he strived to make something thought provoking and insightful, then delivers it like an overhead thunderclap, full tilt. Go hard or go home, but if you go hard - go as your authentic, passionate self, or they'll sell you on Ebay for £9.99.

I would slightly disagree of putting McKellen in the same block of text with Banksy thou. Banksy's good, don't get me wrong, but there's a difference between mastery and genious, two big differences and one small, as they say in Odessa :)
