    Am I the only one that has listened to a soundclown so many times that you ended up legitimately liking it. Like the song Pisscord by S44K, I listened to that song a bunch of times because its funny, and then realized that it is an actually good mash-up and not just a stupid troll soundclown.

      Captain Obscurity As a person who listens to those mashups that are passed off as jokes, I will agree. Mashups and soundclowns are actually well done, even if they're ridiculous. I have a strange love for mashup songs for Space Jam, and some of them are actually really good.

      @darwinlp9860 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Music evolves. Taste evolves. Cling to the past and the songs that were dear to your youth if you wish, but change is inevitable, and Skrillex, though he may be unpalatable to many (myself included), his works and his kind of music are small aspects defining a community, a generation, with their own particular shared interests and cultural understanding. If you do not belong to that cultural landscape, that is fine, but don't diss on people that you personally do not appreciate. Realize that the past is always seen through rose-coloured nostalgia.

    • @TheMarshmelloKing
      @TheMarshmelloKing 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nobody's clinging to the past. Bob dylan was the greatest songwriter who's ever lived. He's loved by people young and old. Kids growing up now deserve something better than what they're getting. It's absolutely pitiful.

    • @calvinscheuerman
      @calvinscheuerman 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Jay bob dylan is not part of my youth; i'm only 25. i discovered his music at the same time i was discovering modern music. so if i'm seeing dylan through "rose-coloured nostalgia" just because i first listened to him when i was young, then i must be seeing skrillex through that same nostalgia; i first heard him when i was about 14, and he was in some screamo/emo/whatever band that was pretty popular at the time. even in my youth (the same time i was discovering guys like dylan) i knew skrillex was terrible. so the whole "rose-coloured nostalgia" thing is just not true. i heard both, realized one was awful, the end.
      i don't even dislike dubstep. some of it is really cool and creative; or at least it used to be. skrillex is 100 percent responsible for ruining dubstep. it used to be an interesting new type of music with a lot of potential. not many people had heard it yet, so it wasn't very commercially successful; because of this, dubstep artists were being wild and creative, and experimenting in ways that they couldn't if they had a 10 million dollar record deal with producers breathing down their necks. the result was awesome, completely original music; a completely new genre. then skrillex decides "i'm done with being an emo singer, i'm going to jump on this new dubstep thing" and he releases 'scary monsters'. the song makes tons of money, it catches the eye of every hollywood suit trying to keep their finger on the pulse of what's "cool", and within two weeks dubstep is watered down into a repetitive, uncreative formula that makes it all sound the same, and they start using it to sell everything from vodka to homeowner's insurance. every form of media is flooded with dubstep, and what was once a cool new budding music scene, becomes a meaningless commercial soundtrack almost overnight. if skrillex never happened, we could've seen dubstep grow organically over time. unfortunately, skrillex did happen, and an entire genre of music was ruined.
      i don't remember dylan doing that.

    The bit about "sound collages" and plunderphonics reminds me of The Avalanches, who made an entire album consisting of songs made of nothing but clips from old movies. The lead single and best known song, "Frontier Psychiatrist", is fucking AMAZING.

    i am a "soundclowner" (i hate using that term). some people might recognize my works under the name reaperkun on soundcloud. i'm going to say that the soundclowns you featured are indeed funny, but i can tell you the people who made them hate the term soundclown as much as i do.
    if you want good "funny internet folk music" i can direct you towards the genre Pisscore which is basically plunderphonics but more "meme"-ified, sometimes tying in with soundclowns tied in. (but please dont make a video about it i'll cry)

  • @NotessimoSwift
    @NotessimoSwift 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Being a member of Soundcloud that is moving away from Soundclown (user Lovebutt♥) I want it to be clear to everyone that Soundclown kinda sucks. Yes, it's clever, it's new(ish), it's a way of teaching information like joke telling or just basic conversation construction. It's cool that it's going back to concepts of passing down information and important concepts one by one like our ancestors used to, but the fact that it goes through the internet means that a single concept can get boring and overdone to a point of annoyance in a day. People who have been a part of Soundclown for a while should remember the "Cool Guy" meme use which ran dry in less than a day. People often complain that Soundclown is a byproduct of Soundcloud, where real music is shut out by funny jokes and a much quicker system of media. It's only nice (to me) in an addictive sort of way, which doesn't have to be a bad thing, but given how hard it is to escape the community without creating a new account makes it unwanted by many.

    Yes, finally you talk about SoundClown...
    I think SoundClown is just like TH-cam Poops (like you said), but instead of working on video source you work with music or sounds... I wouldn't call it "folk music" though personally, it's kinda weird.
    Oh and also, i'm still waiting about OCremix and VGM Covers... :P

    Soundclown seems more like contemporary Dadaist music than folk aesthetically, but I would agree that Dadaism and Folk share a ideological contempt for the bourgeoise. The biggest difference is that folk's approach is more constructive in that it tends to valourize the working class and promote discussion of everyday injustices. Whereas Dadaism just likes to stir shit up and promote disgust, disdain, and all round lunacy.
    I wouldn't mind seeing you do an episode on the legacy of early avant garde art, music, and literary movements pervading contemporary culture. For example, Negativland style sampling is just an extension of Marcel Duchamp's Readymades.
    Sound Poetry would also be an interesting episode idea. It's been around for over a century, but most people I talk to about it have never heard of it.
    Great channel. Keep up the good work!

    Maybe put a link to shaliek's youtube channel in the description? It looks like this video mostly focuses around shaliek's soundcloud uploads, and he's got a lot of stuff on TH-cam too (dog pleasure night, etc)
    Also I hope you've heard 3LIXAR's "new LEAKED episode of Johnny Test on cartoon network"
    Definitely worth a listen for the whips

    Easily, one or your best episodes to date.
    +1 For the Grey Album references
    +1 For touching on Sage Francis (not literally)
    This episode is why I subscribed. Informative, entertaining, and thought provoking. Do I think it's like folk? That's a bit of a stretch. But the sad reality is that it just may be this era's equivalent. Well done, sir.

    I love these videos explaining subculture history!! Its really helpful to understand your context in history, even for silly things.
    I think Soundclown music shows a growing societal critique of popular culture: how bad is manifactured memetic entities that they're more entertaining in these mashups?! But I love soundclowns and co are democratizing popular culture instead of letting only those with capital control the media. They are interesting in context of using entertainment created for monetary gain for their own use, which although legal under fair use laws is still a difficult area.

  • @lizhasasthma
    @lizhasasthma 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    The Soundclown stuff actually fits in pretty nicely with some of the more prevalent themes in post-modern art, where everything has been done before and there's no such thing as a genius/savant artist (aka anyone can be an artist). The material and the ideas (to an extent) that are used aren't precisely original and it's stuff anyone can do, so instead of comparing them to folk music, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say they're art.

  • @johnsmith4038
    @johnsmith4038 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    This type of music is folk music in the sense that it combines all of the aspects of the internet into songs. The actual difference is that folk music of years past (Bob Dylan, John Lennon) tried to change parts of the culture they thought was wrong. Soundclown is just Macklemore on LSD

    So I have actually been watching The Newsroom, and I didn't find it too bad. Yes, it was a bit melodramatic at times, but it is rather well-structured and well-written, as is expected of an Aaron Sorkin show. But I wondered why Sam was so negative about it... It was then where I found out about the identically-named, unrelated Canadian show, which was apparently one of the best T. V. shows that Canada has ever produced. So now I've been interested more in finding that show. I was a big fan of the likes of This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Royal Canadian Air Farce, and DaVinci's Inquest (big jump, I know)... The CBC in my opinion really was the best channel available on bare-basic cable from across the border in the mid-2000s. So I'd like to take a page from the Canadian playbook and say on behalf of sometimes seemingly uncaring Americans...
    Sorry.

    I honestly don't think it is folk music by any stretch, but it is certainly an interesting thought. I feel that folk is supposed to represent a generation of people, but this is something completely different. As someone who wanted to be a soundclown since I heard my first airhorn remix, I feel like these are simply to have fun, not to tell a story, but to take something and turn it into your own.

    Oh good the Mentors sample is still up. I love the channel but have been apprehensive since the Alan Smithee episode doesn't discuss any Snuff Film comments. I really didn't mean to piss anyone off. I hold my Canadian neighbors in the highest regard and can't wait to go looking for You Can't Do That On Television filming locations in Ottawa soon. Toronto is not the center of the universe? Now we've gone too far.

    The way you described it is a lazy and tiny mashup, but still very much a mashup, yet you said it wasn't a mashup. I feel that you could have explained it a little better.

    Disappointed Aphex Swift didn't get a mention, though for a second when you brought up Girl Talk I wondered if there'd be more digging into non-soundcloud material, like The Avalanches. And don't even get me started on cLOUDDEAD or Com Truise...
    ...Yeah, my friend pushed me down the weird music rabbit hole about eight years ago. I'm still falling and even now I can't see the bottom. I just try to pull other people in with me at this point
