Twinkle Twinkle Little Star 🌟 is the best Progressive Metal song of all time
Fuck no.
To be fair it doesn't take much to get banned from your channel/discord. Make a few jokes and everyone flips out calls you a bunch of names and hits you with the ban hammer x'D i also don't think they like i questioned you about your self serving beliefs when it comes to unions :P
Heck yeah. You crack me up, Finn.
Ben Shapiro robotic delivery from many posters.
This is one of the coolest things that's ever happened to me :) thanks Finn!!
u seem like a hella chill guy i might check ur shit out
Your thoughtful reaction earned my subscription :)
You and Finn are my new favorite bromance.
Good dude you are

That bit about it being harder to be brief is spot on. I saw something about a good writer can add 500 words to something but a great writer can remove 500 words.
That’s a good one! Very true.
As Tolkien said "wrote the story, take out the good bits and see if it still makes sense. If it does, it's fine."
That's generally true, but I think it's even harder to have a longer piece that doesn't get boring. Sometimes you just need a 20 min song.
Finns shitty super power is being able to make genre nerds start a rant with “Umm”
I should have picked a cooler power
@@FinnMckentyPRMBA no. It's a great power. Because it proves that underneath their ego they have no valid point to make. Look at Caleb vs that Hitler guy. Caleb didn't stutter or say umm once.
You mean he personally attacks fans? He does
@@robertsteinberger5667 and how does he personally attack someone? I’d love to hear it lol
@@StaleBranflakes you will probably love this haha; joy division fans have small dicks. I mean he says it on his channel but is he willing to say to Anthony Fantano who is a fan that he has a small dick? I dont think so.
I enjoy your videos and I am not a metalhead or punker. I am a music fan. I don't always agree with your conclusions, but that isn't the point. I am entertained. I learn and discover. I appreciate your general fairness and thorough approach toward inclusiveness. Production value is great--well-scripted and direct; edited to include little fluff or filler so they maintain a manageable length.
“Relax, take a deep breath and realize there is more to life than being the authority to your hobby.” Well said. This newer generation gets so butt hurt but hasn’t even lived long enough to have the expertise in anything lol
People hate your videos enough to make a 25-35 minute video. Congratulations. That’s quite the compliment from all of their 222 subscribers.
As a Black Metal fan, I agree with your take. Easily one of the most toxic aggregates of music fans in the world.
I think the video put out by the black metal fan on Finn completely validated that too lol
Some of us are, that's true.. But not all, and it's a good thing!!!
can yall be real for a minute and just admit that no one actually likes black metal lmao yall just like shock value
@@steviegreenthumb4720 I don’t feel that way. I’m not a fan of the pentagrams/ inverted crosses, and I could take or leave the aesthetic in general overall. I just really like some black metal. Where Shadows Forever Reign by Dark Funeral shows up frequently in my rotation. I also really like a handful of the Dimmu Borgia albums, especially In Sorte Diaboli and Abrahadabra. I wouldn’t call myself a super fan of the genre, but the bands that I like, I really like.
@@steviegreenthumb4720 no because I actually like black metal. So I just disproved your point.
Your channel keeps my inner 15 year old who thought she was better than other people because she hated Britney Spears and NSYNC in check. You keep the cringey elitist awkward kid I once was at bay with C'thulhu in the murky depths.
For that service, I cannot thank you enough.
I'm not really into prog rock or at least I don't know alot about it, but I think the inherent value of complexity is possibly this: if you where stuck on an island for a month would you rather only be able to listen to Beethoven's 5th or Twinkle twinkle as your sole source of media? I would argue that Beethoven would provide more entertainment over that month because you notice new things about it every time you listen and could engage with it more in a variety of ways. That's why graphic novels with lots of details and weird things hidden in the background are so fun to reread.
Yes
But needless complexity doesnt have the depth of beethoven is the problem
For example gojira and jinjer have more to think about from their music than dream theater (last 2 or 3 albums) because dream theater is devolving into petrucci just masturbating a guitar
@@V2ULTRAKill DT went downhill big time when Rudess joined and they had two musical masturbators as the main writers. Kevin Moore was so good
Which means it's the absolute most irrelevant field in 2022, does it not?
If you're over 30, you remember when access to things were a huge deal to the point of it having a huge effect on how much you liked something.
When we can get anything with a click, fuck, not even that, a slide and a tap on a screen from ANYWHERE; Why do we need the island comparasion?
And if we scratch the surface a little; you wouldn't even need to bring Twinkle Twinkle Little Star because every note is forever going to be with you.
Twinkle twinkle. Makes me smile.
Finn McKenty and Music Snob collabing on a video would be a dream come true
I'm from Belgium and every summer I go abroad for a full month, and part of what I look forward to coming back to (because I don't have an internet connection while on holiday) is coming back home and watching the accumulated list of videos that I haven't watched while abroad, mainly uploaded by my favourite creators such as yourself (however cringy that may seem to say and to hear).
As a result, watching the video about the future of your channel, in which you talk about the issues you face regarding anxiety and confidence on a daily basis, back to back with this video in which you react to a number of spiteful comments with such composure and insight, is truly inspiring in my opinion. I'm not sure I'd be able to respond with such detachment and intelligence. Keep up the good work, Finn, and know that such an exemplary approach doesn't go unnoticed. You truly are a role model for an angry 26 year-old such as myself, who would probably make tearing detractors apart a personal mission in such circumstances. Your words and philosophy prove it isn't worth it.
Thank you! I really appreciate that 🙏🏼
Metal, punk, and other hard music used to be a place I could be myself without fear of rejection. Metal and Punk fans at their core are just rejects. The internet has proven this scene more toxic than I had ever known and I left because of them. Thank you Finn for being honest and real yet accepting. You give me faith that one day we can all remember why we listen to heavy music.
Hipster black metal is one of the most unintentionally funny channels on youtube. Like I check up on that dude every couple of months just to see if he keeps up with it. I remember once he made a whole video because anthony fantano commented on one of his videos with like a *groan* and because he said something in a video that might have been about him. He is genuinely somewhat unhinged and seems to just spew thoughts into the video regardless of if it makes sense. However he seemed to have been inactive for a few months last time I check so that's good atleast.
That last guy was making a real conscious effort to make his voice sound deep
I still want a debate between Finn and Become the Knight
Same.
@@somebraveapollo8211 what?
For sure. Interesting perspectives that I’d like to hear
So, you want to see two trolls go at it? Yeah, me too.
Waiting for The Punk Rock MBA reacts to Become The Knight reacts to The Punk Rock MBA reacts to Become The Knight reacts to The Punk Rock MBA.
I love TPRMBA and what you are up to, Finn. The fact that you have haters means you are successful and genuine. Keep on, brother, and congratulations on all your success thus far!!
Thank you!
Just like Cardi B. Jk lol
@@thegreatsoutherntrendkill272 I was gonna say that WAP or Lil Nas X but he isn't pissing parents off (probably some are parents) but more so the genre elitist dorks
If I've learned anything from video games it is that if you run into enemies you're going the right way
-Sasha Barron Cohen
Become the knight isn't a hater.
Mike from become the knight says consistently that session musicians for pop artists are some of the best musicians in the world. He agrees with you on that
@@Eirik_Bloodaxe Schroedinger's doucebag
I saw the documentary Hired Guns and really, they're the best of the best. Musical chameleons but when they do their own thing, they really make exceptional stuff.
I believe it all comes down to how the music makes you feel. Regardless of genre, technicalities or simplicity. The discussion of music in all of its aspects is what truly makes music so amazing because at the end of the day, it’s all subjective.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is the first song a lot of people learn to play when they pick up their first instrument (even if it's just a recorder in your grade 3 music class or whatever). How many people have even bothered to try to learn Beetovens 5th?
I play the best damn twinkle twinkle little star you've ever heard on banjo
@@BuckarooBoya I'm subbing to your TH-cam and hitting that notification bell so I expect to see it
@@leetfukk lol seriously? It was mostly a joke I haven't played in months but I'll get my practice up just for you
@@BuckarooBoya LOL I figured it was a joke and I was joking too but I actually did subscribe just in case you do it. Don't feel pressured
@@leetfukk I'll do it but I do need to practice cause like I said I haven't played in a little while
I absolutely LOVE seeing my two favourite youtube channels covering music from a well spoken and educated place collide in one video. (Become the night and yourself)
I also loved your eyebrow raise 😂
Mike definitely falls into the category or people that let their emotions speak over their thoughts at times
I still appreciate a lot of things he has to say
But I definitely stand more with you on your take on his thoughts further into his video
""tHE PUNK ROCK MBA HAS TERRIBLE TASTE"
I ACTUALLY LIKE IT, I THINK THIS PERSON HAS REALLY GOOD TASTE"
THE SHADE LOL
Lol Yeah, I don't consider myself to be a hater or have "ill intent" like you said, because I even though I don't necessarily agree with your prog video, I do respect your opinions and what not. It is nice to know you also prefer classic prog. Would've maybe been informative if you stated that in your video, but oh well. It is cool that you saw my video as well. I do appreciate the compliments too! 👍
Caleb is chill af
Finn, I love your videos! They really make my day.
To argue for catchiness in prog, sure Dream Theater doesnt have any "normie" music but their early stuff had some good hooks, especially Pull Me Under
Don't dismiss their later stuff though, they still combine some really tasty melodies with their virtuosic playing. Ministry of lost souls, In the name of god, Panic attack, The best of times, Bridges in the sky, When your time has come, Finally free are just a few examples out of countless others.
"black flag isn't relevant" I don't even listen to that kind of punk and I know exactly who they are and what their logo is.
To further prove your point, I don't even listen to punk and I know what their logo is.
That doesn't make them currently relevant. I know the logo to thousands of dead companies and bands, does that make them relevant?
@@truebluesumo considering the amount of people that barely listen to punk or don’t listen to punk and still know who they are, at least within music, to say that they’re completely irrelevant and no one cares about them is just idiotic.
@@alexandercarlinmusic9467 are the smiths relevant? Is the jam relevant? Is Eric Clapton relevant? No, being remembered and venerated by generations is not the same as being relevant.
@@truebluesumo dude within their scenes, those artists r still very much relevant. Just because something isn’t relevant to main stream society doesn’t mean it isn’t relevant at all. And within punk, Black Flag is still very relevant. They’re literally pioneers of hardcore punk.
I gotta say it's pretty cool you "react to your haters" by agreeing with a lot of substantive criticism.
Love it! I’m 42 also and feel pretty old when I consider my taste in music 🥰 I just went to see Gojira, Alien Weaponry and Knocked Loose with my 16 year old son and it was an amazing experience. I grew up going to shows, and felt like that was a right of passage that I hope to experience with all my boys in the future. That one was super special though, as it was my first show in over 20 years.
Imagine hating on someone who literally only pumps out content that always tries to give us the most POSITIVE perspective. Some people are simply haters I guess.
Yup, people could easily just scroll and move on. Instead they just choose to be assholes
But dude hes never heard of grind infused power metal influenced sludgy black metal.. poser moment
@@vitaminwater9662 lol right??? Shouldn't even have a channel tbh...
Dude shouldn't make videos about metal in general but yeah he's alright
It's in inherent problem in criticising a genre, as the response will always be to show a list of examples that prove you wrong. What they fail to realise is that it's like listening to another country's accents - you'll hear the similarities far more than the differences.
It's really cool that folks are reacting to you in such a way. I like your responses to Caleb 100%
I like that you're doing these videos. I think the reflection you verbalize here is only going to sharpen your process going forward. Keep doing you, Finn.
I’m into Black Metal (some of all sub sub genres of it actually), and I fucking love Finn lol… A good amount of Finn’s other genre/band interest I don’t necessarily share, yet I find his videos and opinions of it all extremely entertaining, intelligent and funny. But hurt little weirdos are good material though, cheers 😝
I certainly don't agree with you on everything Finn, but man, I couldn't imagine making an entire video about it.
Love your channel! It's so rare to see someone like you who is open minded enough to accept criticism. Love the positivity & the message.
Thank you!
The positive takeaway from being hated on-to the point where others make concerted efforts to exhibit their disapproval- is that you've made such an impact on their lives, that they cannot separate themselves and their work from yours.
You have taken such a prominent place in their minds that the haters cannot rest until they have expunged the fires that they alone have set in their minds; that they cannot rest until they are satisfied with whatever measure of retribution that they see fit.
Few humans have tread upon this path of notoriety, fewer still have truly deserved it.
The wiki article type videos are always great but I like the variety in your recent videos. you're capable of a lot of things Finn
Thank you! I’m not interested in making wiki videos but I know that is what my audience wants from me.
I'm commenting because that quote "complexity doesn't define quality" is going to really help some arguments I have with people in the anime community that think that shows with overly complicated plots are better than more simple shows just because they are more complicated. That *can* be the case, but it isn't a given.
Gotta respect things that can get a feeling across in a concise manner.
I gave up on so many shows because I couldn’t follow wtf was even happening
Great video Finn! I always look forward to feedback and input on videos mostly to humble out and also find new approaches to my own content.
Caleb made some great points and made a fair reaction video. I had a similar thought to him but looking back both of you made strong points.
I appreciate the comment calling out the unnecessary retro game filter haha. Quality video, Finn.
How is anyone a poser? It's just music so if you like it listen to it, goofballs that say that are the real elitests. Btw I love black metal am pretty new to it but that's the thing, music is subjective. There's no right or wrong and you owe no one any explanation
I would love to see PRMBA and Become the Knight have a live discussion.👌
Finn is a Metal fan and enjoy watching his videos and reviews. Keep them coming dude.
Great video! I was chomping at the bit for your reaction to Become The Knight, two of my favorite music youtubers!
Dungeon Rap is possibly one the greatest genres I’ve ever heard lol
Honestly, sometimes on your main channel (PRMBA) i don't always agree with your views on several topics or/and issues (The Black Metal video for example). But, you presented them very well so in the end of the day even though i don't agree on something you said i always find your video not only informative but also entertaining. The fact that i subs to your 2nd channel is how much i love the content that you made. Thumbs up and keep it up, sir!
Thank you!
I was also a teenager in the height of the Metalcore/Deathcore era of the 2010s and I have the complete opposite take of Caleb. I always _HATED_ when bands gave speeches and got preachy about religion, or being overly positive lol. It was especially weird when a band did it while on tour with someone like Whitechapel lol.
I think it's very hard to assign value to something as emotional as music. You may value some kind of music very highly that others don't care about. I guess the "inherent" value of Beethoven's music is its staying power and the fact that Beethoven and all the other classical composers like Mozart, Bach, etc. shaped the way we understand and listen to music today.
The discussion around the last video was honestly so interesting, I could probably watch an entire video with just you and the other guy going at each other
Caleb sounds like he would be an S-tier homie
You trying to be my homie or what??
@@calebswagreactsbro straight up
The channel Hipster Black Metal is what happens when a guy starts making fun of Deafheaven… but after 10 years he’s calling black culture degenerate in Peste Noir comment sections and harassing a newly out trans woman. What a fantastic trajectory.
When black metal fans show their true colors
I'd like to put this entire comment on a t-shirt because its just so remarkably accurate.
You start watching Varg videos and you get too invested into /pol
YES
@limelight81 YiKeRiNoS
I like your videos and hearing your personal input. Im still in my teens so I know you know more because you been into this music longer. I like that you are also well rounded in music and knows the engineer specifics with metal!! :)
I honestly do agree with Finn about pop artists. My favourite example of a pop star being extremely talented is Charlie puth, fantastic writer, and keyboardist. I mean, the bass line in attention is just absolutely fantastic.
Finn, curious to know what you honestly think of the rock band The Toadies? Mind you, they are one of my all time favorite bands and if you criticize, that's totally fine. I've seen them live 8 times and will be seeing them again later this year. This band was popular in the mid-90's and Possum Kingdom was a big radio hit. However, the awesome thing about the Toadies is they literally do not fit into any particular rock genre and people have tried to put them into a category and failed. Every album progressives their music forward in some new way, and Rubberneck is raw. Thoughts?
So far this is probably my fav video you've done on this channel. "I have no words." .... "BUT HERE'S SOME WORDS!" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Also that dude who was 37 looks WAYYYY older than you bruh.
I love this second channel. It's just a testament to how great your content is that you've inspired this many people to make videos about your videos. Even if they're being completely ridiculous, they're all still obviously paying attention to you.
Also, that guy in the red shirt that was talking about prog was literally insufferable. I feel like he was just making a video for the sake of being contrary/to disagree. I've never heard of him and I honestly dgaf how many followers he has he's a fkn chode.
Exactly! I’m grateful for it
Biggest takeaway from this video: I need an NES emulator again.
If you want to waste a bunch of money, look into Mister. It's like a raspberry Pi but better.
You're one of my favorite people ever.
I almost wish I had transcripts of my post-show-2am-getting-food discussions on music
McKenty is our true voice of critical thinking in music culture
I try!
He is nice, when he defends stuff. Even if I don't like the music genres he speaks for, I can dig it. When he criticize prog or black, oh boi. It goes downhill fast. But he has a great sense of humor, and knows a lot about American youth music trends, so I think he should stick in this aspect.
true voice of critical thinking in music culture?DUnno seems like he is as subjective as we all are.
What a joke. He's far from it.
People like what they like and don't like what they don't like. Music is art and art is subjective.
Because of this, and because Finn's business background, he instead relies on the number Spotify listeners/streams, TH-cam views/likes/subscribers, Twitch, Tik Tok, Chart positions, etc. because it's the part of music that involves cold, hard facts.
This still fails to be philosophically valid, however, because having an argument of "more popular = better" is the logical fallacy of appeal to number or appeal the masses.
Just because something is popular, doesn't automatically mean it's good. Good music is what each of us thinks is good music. After all, who chooses to listen to "bad music", whatever that is?
@@SkaMasta097 idk what you mean...everyone comes from a certain specific culture...so when Finn talks about what he knows the people listen cause of how he comes across about his
Adolf Stalin is every guy who always manages to sit next to me in the bar, and mistake me for a new friend. It's a gift I have, that I want to so desperately lose.
Oof
Unlikely, but it is vaguely possible that it's his real name...
I simply don‘t take your channel to seriously, but find it so entertaining.
This is all really highlighting something I learned in my early 20's that completely changed the way I write music:
If the music you write is only designed to impress other guitar players, the only people who will like it is other guitar players.
Technical skill is irrelevant. IS IT GOOD?
why did that ever even enter your brain? the music you write should be the music you want to write, with zero compromises.
@@Jeremy-hx7zj It's the natural tendency of new guitar players to feel the need to prove themselves, so they mainly focus on writing stuff really difficult or technical to show off their abilities. Some of them get stuck in that mode forever.
@@MWTravesty And some people enjoy that. Music doesn't have to be any kind of way
I'm a Djent guy and even I would agree that our heads are kinda in our heads sometimes. Anyway, love ya Finn. Keep doing what you're doing.
"harvest glory and attention from the audience" perfectly sums up Hulk Hogan's run as the face of pro wrestling in the 80s and 90s. Totally unrelated lmao
Become the Knight actually helped me discover your channels.
Love you both :)
"I wish I was a tourist". That made me weirdly sad, but I get it.
You should get Mike/Become the Knight on the podcast
"This one is 35 minutes long...do i really want to watch that..?"
* checks runtime
Checkmate, Mckenty, lol
The hipster black metal channel is the most cringy thing in the world. Imagine making a whole channel for the sake of ranting on Finn, Fantano, Deafheaven and a danish female black metal artist (for no other reason than her being female)
Love the argument from first principles. Yes there is something very cool to blazing a trail but there's also something very cool about being able to write a song that reaches and affects millions of people. To argue one is necessarily better requires a much deeper discussion on aesthetics and values.
That's fine, but you can slice up statements into complete absurdity, even when the answer is obvious. Mozart is better than a child's lullaby. Waguy beef is better than a McDonald's cheeseburger, and so on.
Maybe instead of calling it "Progressive Metalcore" we should call it "Technical Metalcore"
I would be down with calling Erra Technical Metalcore.
Ironically, there's actually an argument between prog fans on whether Progressive Death Metal = Tech Death or if they're separate subgenres. As a prog elitist...They're different I swear...But we sound ridiculous though. It's like plantains =/= bananas. But I mean...
Honestly, I think boiling down certain things down to, as Hannibal Buress would say, the bare essentials, makes things a lot easier to understand
Hmm, when I heard you go off on the smoothing filter for Castlevania I knew we were kindred spirits lol.
Caleb is a classy man. Loved his video
I love watching this guy. “Finn” your hilarious
everyone just needs to bow to Finn as the king of Rage Bait🤣and i love it
I’m late to the party, but you watching videos where people shit on you is gangster asf. Not many people would do that so hats off to you Finn. Love the videos
Pain of Salvation and Haken are Prog Metal bands that undisputably have great songs
I was kind of bummed in the video where you said the black dahlia murder are just like boring riff salad or whatever, but I’m a guitarist and my band featured some pretty horrific riff salad… so maybe I’m biased. It was nice that you complimented their work ethic afterwards. Respect
ZACH D PRODUCTIONS 🤣🤣👌👌
you really should bring Mike the music snob to your podcast or collab on youtube or something! I would love to see you guys discuss about prog or just music in general! I think it will be really interesting to see tbh!
Did anyone else think that "prog" referred to the song structure and not that it was music that progressed the state of rock forward? I always thought prog meant it did not have a traditional ABA song structure with a clearly defined chorus
As a 31 year old I was born when the genre already existed so to me yes it’s a genre with specifics but if you go back in time people might have had more of philosophical view
What I like about you and Mike become the Knight is that you guys are very good with words and explaining things in the most unique way as possible! But yet he dislikes Punk so that's one strike for him lol
Finn your giving great writing advice during this video good job
i cannot find that kodaka kid anywhere i really wanna watch that video i dont think you have the link since this video is 2yo
Re: Beethoven's 5th vs Twinkle Twinkle. I would even go so far to say that his own argument shows that Twinkle Twinkle is the better song. "Everyone can hum along to Beethoven's 5th." One part of it, yes. Just that opening "riff". You know what people can do with Twinkle Twinkle? Sing the whole fucking thing and then take the melody and make 50 other kids songs out of it. ABCs anyone?
Making kids happy = +
or being stuck with that song all day = -
haha with all respect. Just kidding. (y)
People hate finn cuz hes fuckin realistic
The second video is actually listing reasons why I watch your channel. I really think people who don’t like your channel are just taking it personally when you jokingly stereotype them
But your advice about cutting content is solid. I’m too wordy with my lyrics so my songs always wind up being too long. Granted, Metallica is who got me into heavy music and they regularly have 5+ min songs
To the guy mad about prog. I'll say one thing I've kept reading and hearing while learning to play instruments is sometimes more can be less. I agree
I don't understand the hate. I grew up in the CA punk scene, moved to grind bands in the bay area, then into prog. I'm really a fan of the new stuff Finn brought to my attention. I forgot about Epitaph, but am loving Lil Lotus.
Watching you react to the videos that were well done was awesome. Great video!
Finn is a really kind dude I can tell , love your channel my friend .
Thank you!
The view from your window seems very nice! lol
I totally agree on the filter. Makes those games look like shit.
The prog guy looks like he hung a venom poster in his dads study.
Lol Adolf Stalin is the real MVP here, making videos for less than 200 people while living in his mom's house
😂😆😂🤣😭
Feeds with a slingshot. Fucking killing me 😂😂😂😂😂
On the whole twinkle twinkle Little Star versus Beethoven's 5th debate, I just have one question... Which song does a new pianist learn first? The first song they ever learned is going to be something along the lines of twinkle twinkle Little star, not Beethoven's 5th. To me, that makes it inherently more valuable. The first song you learn has a lot of times more valuable than the most complicated song you can ever learn, because every journey needs a beginning.
