Thanks for your feedback! Good to hear you are really itching to watch a video from a microchannel about jazz culture from a near-century ago TH-cam has features for you to watch these videos muted with subtitles or play at a reduced speed; you can also skip everything up until after the title sequence (around 1:45 give or take) if loud noises aren't your thing :) - A redneck with livestock auctioneer training and some graduate-level education *Regular audio guy is on vacation til the 19th; he probably won't come back out of spite now (verdammte Deutsche).

Defiinately. Delivery is too fast, I can't read the captions. As Cabel Calloway asked: Are you hep to the jive....

@@OrthodoxFreiheit Using a headset reduced 80% of my issues. Good content, regards from Poland!

They indeed aren't, they're a pop and skate punk group (both mingle with emo). We threw it into the pop-punk/corporate emo segment because the audio guy thought the vibes fit; and I don't argue with the guy who makes me sound cool. *Not to mention I like their ska albums

We got you 🫶

I mean, given this is an obscure* channel, and this video isn't about football casuals (in the context of sheer viewership), it will be! *Unless the all-powerful algorithm decides otherwise a few years later to both our chagrins

Indeed, each frame should be in a museum. Music videos for eurodance, eurobeat, and everything else alongside those genres are some of the best time capsules for the years around the turn of the millenia - mostly because of their tech limitations *The sink doesn't want to come in, it keeps raving about the y2k bug to some Captain Jack tunes; will try letting it in tomorrow

You are literally the first person we have referenced to watch our content (to my knowledge) and it feels like an honor to actually get feedback from a source. Thank you! I'll pass along what all was said to Scott (who wrote 99% of this episode) if he hasn't seen this comment already, and will update our sources document to include Hunter's work and some stuff on the HPM.

Thanks! Editing always seems to be a strong point for the channel, and we hope to slowly bring the rest (writing and voice audio) up alongside it as we grow.

Thanks for the feedback! We're working on a video on the scene subculture within the next season or two, so we'll probably throw post-2010s/boom/collapse emo in there as either a segment or footnote since scene had an effect on emo culture's popular image of being Hot Topic kids in neon. This episode's script was written for the first season, meaning not working with more contemporary stuff wasn't a priority in the writing team's situated knowledges; luckily we've gotten a lot better (and are still trying to improve) over the course of a year! If you have any recommendations on where to start (academically or just some musical/fan-based recs), feel free to comment them here or shoot us some links on this channel's socials.

Thanks! A few friends of the team and myself were in the same boat - something about emo being that support for angsty (pre-)teens was always the common denominator. Happy to see that there's always still a community around genres the mainstream keeps thinking are dead (including a portion of this here comments section!).

Thanks for the feedback! (a bit of behind the scenes) We usually start with finding audio that fits the context of whatever is being said; it also pays to have a soft-spoken customer service voice mixed with an ear for tone on our editing team :)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks guy from the FIRE video comments, happy to see you're still watching and have worked your magic

I can agree with this in principle - I mean, worshipping people who just stand around and are only famous because they're famous is one of society's greatest pitfalls (and will prove to be a nail in the coffin in the long run). Wherein we are looking up to people who do nothing more than react to videos in the corner of our screens; pretend to be an NPC for money; or were related to someone who actually meant something in a very disturbing case of "wait, they're related?". Look at stuff on TLC, or any reality(/brainrot) TV programme, and you see people who have or will become famous for the most inane of things. But where my own situated view on this differs is that there are actually talented people who need to be celebrated (the genuinely creative types, scientists, etc.) and culture does just that. Fandom itself is an example of both: with an example of merited celebrity being this very video talking about people who celebrated the talents of five young men (who were lucky enough to all be selected for a group performance). Based mostly on their singing skills and potential to perform to a standard worthy of the mainstream; converse to groups who form around people who either react in front of a camera with no constructive (or destructive) input whatsoever or (again) are only known because they were born into it (granted, meme culture does change the last one up with some becoming [in/]famous for one little thing here or there that didn't help society as a whole - but making someone laugh even for a minute could be seen as helping if you want to accentuate the positive). The positive effect of the celebrity is they can help give role models to those who need them through exhibiting either positive or culturally acceptable traits (i.e. a famous actor who helps out with disaster relief in their home town, the singer who willing signs up for the war effort to support the homeland (or gratefully accepts conscription; it depends on the country), or the philanthropist author who gives 90% of their books' profits to support struggling families). Taking it a bit further, religion is one of the few original cases of celebrity - and seeing as humanity has shifted more towards secular and atheistic spaces, which might just be a logical cultural jump in reverence towards something - which, along with mythology and folklore, is quintessentially the baseline for celebrity culture: humanity/cultures celebrating the actions or effect(s) of a particular individual. If we want to get more post-modern, and I don't have the brainpower to do that half the time, people like French philosopher Roland Barthes have come up with more modern mythologies (literally a Barthes book) about human culture and enshrining things in higher stratum; it's a good read, would recommend the chapters "The World of Wrestling", "The Brain of Einstein", and either "The Jet-Man" or "Steak and Chips". But what the book got at is that humanity will have a way to hold something up and go "This. This is something I like and feel like it should be noticed more." - kind of how we get fandoms around arts and sports - it's the sort of championing of individual tastes that draws others towards a particular thing; I mean just look at whatever sports team is near you - its fans are celebrating the collective efforts of the players in both achieving feats of physical aptitude and representing the place they play (either poorly or amazingly depending on who wins that game) and forming a community around them that supersedes any previous differences. We could also go back to the great blend of myth and reality found in a lot of religions: where it doesn't matter where one's path has taken them - so long as whoever it is shares the same values taught by and love towards that common denominator, they are part of that second family that is the community. We have a video on high culture that (somewhat, but not exclusively) helps convey the "out of touch" part of celebrity/higher economic class culture; as they isolate themselves into this subculture out of realizing they can no longer relate to the "common rabble" - only for this insular community to birth hundreds (if not thousands) of people who think that a $500 watch is pocket change while college grads and retirees are struggling to pay for rent and food on their own. *Interestingly enough, we had a video on celebrity culture planned for the 2023 production run, but it was cut for running over the 30 minute mark and reading more like several different people wrote it awkwardly in a darkroom on black paper with invisible ink. ---------- Apologies for this book of a comment, but what you have written is pretty thought-provoking and could serve as a thesis statement for a degree (or the very least a term paper). Thank you for that, it's always good to look away from the vacuum of archived papers and sites full of endless (sometimes useless) information to see the thoughts of the here-and-now from people in real time. ---------- TL;DR /in plain English: I agree we shouldn't idolize (for lack of a better word) celebrities who do nothing aside from existing, but draw the line in a handful of places regarding the idea (and cultural promotion) of celebrity itself. Everything is celebrity culture in one form or another if you realize the parameters; celebrities who are famous for doing nothing should not be celebrated, but people who have contributed something remarkable (usually positive) should at least deserve what spotlight is cast on them; celebrity culture has existed in one form or another since humanity began.

Yeah, fan wikis are an amazing source of this stuff. Thanks for noticing! All I can really hope for now is that this video at least met expectations of the wider fandom.
