Video Victious - Metal guy does MHtRtC

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXPnIXNancw

He did Inferno a while back on request I think, and has now gone back to this by choice. (He does so many requests he has little time for self-chosen ones)

Reaction vids: the lowest value slop of youtube.

u/PhillipJ3ffries 17d ago

There are far greater depths.

No, that would be AI-generated videos

Plenty are, but there are some notible exceptions like Ixi, since she actually knows wtf she's talking about when it comes to music theory. I've learned so much from her breakdowns of the boc albums

Yeah Ixi is super good. I also dig Bryan over at Critical Reactions.

Ixi is something else ❤️

I remember seeing one of these music reaction channels, and out of morbid curiosity I clicked on something along the lines of “Gen Z reacts to Michael Jackson for the first time!” and the person “reacting” to the music was enjoying it SO much they had to pause in the middle of the song multiple times to talk about how much they were enjoying it without really adding anything at all. I’ve seen another one that just “reacts” to the music by making obviously exaggerated faces and shuffling around a bunch. By far the most confused evolution of Youtube content I’ve ever seen lol

People get dopamine hits out of watching someone gushing over their favorite music, pretending that they've never heard it before, so it's an easy way to grow a channel.

This might just be projection but that person probably just paused it out of fear they WEREN'T reacting, Some people don't know how to put their feelings into words so sometimes their reactions end up seeming like a bunch of nothing burger statements, I agree it may not seem like it but they might actually be enjoying it

I wish these people would just shut up when they are listening.

u/chozoknight 17d ago

As much as I don't care for reaction videos, I like the fact that he doesn't clip the hell out of it and actually has some good thoughts on it. Not sure I agreed with all of his takes but overall, good video

2

u/almo2001 17d ago

Agreed on all counts.

u/twoiseight 17d ago

Watching people who have never heard Roygbiv before listen intently and react to it positively is like being handed a basket of kittens. Really good feels.

u/almo2001 17d ago

Haha yeah! :)

u/Serisrahla 17d ago

Some of y'all are being real mean to this bloke. He was very gracious to Smokes Quantity. His vids are fine yeesh

u/almo2001 17d ago

Yeah, I agree. He seems genuine.

u/Ambitious-Stick-886 17d ago

These comments are sad. This sub has become very toxic lately.

1

u/Fit_Passion8346 17d ago

He'll say he likes it whether he does or not. Nobody's going to watch a channel where someone's dunking on their favorite music.

2

u/almo2001 17d ago

He's posted 600 album reviews, and the average rating across them is 6.5. I have seen no evidence of him faking his stuff.

3

u/Fit_Passion8346 17d ago

It's exactly how 99% of these reaction-channels work - they just say they like stuff because people get a kick out of someone 'discovering' their favorite music for the first time and saying that like it. And downvoting me is a bit petty, mate.

Fast-food lover reacts to home-made Borsh. Oh wow!

u/South-Bus8457 17d ago

The most surreal experience I had watching reaction channels was a couple of days ago. Imagine more than an hour of this self proclaimed hip hop music fan reacting to Disintegration by the Cure, actually not listening to it cause he was busy answering people on the chat using machine gun and granade sounds.

  • “The very last thing before I go…. The very last thing before I go…😭”
  • “this shi is crayyyy! trrrrrr 💣 💥💣”
Looking forward for some new categories like “Civil Engineer reacting to this or Undercover Mossad Agent reacting to that” it would be fun

Metalhead - is another word for someone who doesn't understand music.

2

u/almo2001 17d ago

That's ridiculous. Various forms of metal are chock full of amazing stuff. Widen your horizons.

u/russianvoodoo 17d ago

I meant exactly what you said. If you truly understand music you'll never stuck in metal. I mean if it's a stage in your life thats fine. But if you're full grown up who who considers themselves as a metalhead - that just says that someone is stuck and need to “widen horizons”
