Jaxon and angel are like two very different students who get sat next to each other in math class and by the end of the year they’re basically best friends
You summed it up perfectly
I feel like they" dated"
@@user-tm4nd4di1x they could be possibly dating now jk ,
@@mymylauren
They were made for each other.
@@nickhill8612 maybe , who knows we may see them on a future couples episode of react , im just kidding
Jaxon's parents need to teach a class on how to raise your child to be musically/culturally educated cause he just excels far past everyone else to be honest. I love that they said Jaxon being Jaxon because yeah, he's in a class of his own
Jax listened to my music (Beatles, Bowie, 80's New Wave) since he was a baby. He never complained about what he listened to in my car and now he has Great Taste!
Part of is Jaxon having siblings who are quite older than him as well.
@@DrizzFizzlebeatz well this was worthwhile information. Yeah, that definitely would help. I thought he was an only child and his parents were basically superheroes
I love watching Jaxon when music is involved. He's just so in love with music and I love that.
Ikr. He's my spirit animal, but my animal can't come out in front of people lol.
love love love jaxon and angel’s energy whenever they get paired up together! they’re like just two friends vibing in the car in a fast food restaurant’s parking lot haha
You should explain to them WHY each music video was iconic. There are reasons behind it that they probably are unaware of. A few of them even mentioned after seeing the clip ‘I don’t see that as iconic’ or ‘why is this iconic.’ I don’t blame them because they don’t know about either the controversy surrounding it or how difficult/challenging it was to make it.
There’s the Millennials and Gen-Z’s… and then there’s Jaxon 😂 always reacts the best, knows so many bands, sings along, pumps you up
The child hardly watched the videos - just acted like a complete tool. He’s horrible.
@@mitzloo1933he was clearly familiar with all the songs / videos tho. He prob didn’t watch them bc he didn’t need to, he already knew what they were.
@@mitzloo1933 you must hate that he's getting love and attention in the comments. Grow up kiddo
I have no clue how "Thriller" was omitted from this list, it is quite arguably one of the most iconic music videos of all time.
The fact that neither Thriller or Smooth Criminal are on this list ruins the credibility of whoever made this list.
Facts!
Jaxon and Angel are a great duo such a mood
Missed out a few gems:
Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity
Michael Jakson - Thriller
RHCP - Give it away
KoRn - Freak on a leash
Dire Straits - Money for nothing
M.C. Hammer - U cant touch this
jaxon's having the time of his life LOLLL we love to see it!
Honestly, every time there's a react music, I LOVE watching Jaxon jam out. He loves every genre of music. He loves music the way I love films and I'm here for it!!
I want whatever Jaxon and Angel were having! Those two had enough energy to make their own music video! 😆
The Sinead comments were a dagger to my heart RIP Sinead
I love them all, but yeah, it's a shame they didn't know her. And so close to her passing, it sort of made me tear up for a moment. But on a lighter note I really enjoyed this video! Jaxon and Angel just gold
Jaxon is LIVING for these videos.
Jaxon is living for the spotlight.
Not Jaxon being absolutely iconic this whole video XD
No thriller? Honestly that has to be the most iconic video of all time
Jaxon has an incredible voice!!! His parents are really proud for give him a lot of music menu
Jaxon is my favourite! The fact that he knows words to songs from almost every generation, super impressed! Definitely took me back from my high school days in the mid/late 80’s but I knew every video/song but one!
I mourn for the generations who don’t recognise how iconic Sinead O’Connor was to my generation
Yes, and Prince wrote that song. I love it.
"Like that one with the girl and just her face".... My Gen X heart is crying!!!! I mean that song defined my heartbreak as a teen, and it was written by Prince for Pete's sake!!!
I love how much Jaxon is enjoying the music and expressing his love for it. He’s so fun to watch,
every time there's a music related react, jaxon has to be in it. he's just so funny and he knows his music!
The dynamic between Jaxon & Angel never fails to be entertaining plus they are too adorable!!! 🥰
I'm always surprised that people don't know how good of a dancer Christopher Walken is. He started out his entertainment career training as a dancer.
Jaxon + Angel pairing....always bring the jokes!
The disrespect to Sinead O’Connor (may she rest in peace) is upsetting.
Did you ever hear Prince do it?
@@Eris_Strife Yes I have. He does a great job but Sinead O'Connor crushes that song.
Bruh I don't know where some of these people have been not to know these iconic songs.
It's like living in an alternate reality, a world where youngsters haven't heard of Nothing Compares To You. That music video was massively played everywhere. So much I can't stand it until this day!
Honestly, this whole video is just about Jaxon vibing and we need more of him!!! 💜✨️
Jaxon and Angel are such a powerful duo! Their dinamic is so energetic and fun!
Jaxon rules. He was my favourite since he was a kid
I love Jaxon, but he doesn't know what personal space is. He's like your favourite cat 😂
He seems to only be like that with Angel lol .
I've never been so proud of Jaxon then seeing him rap along to feel good inc
Sweet dreams are made of these
Now that’s an iconic song and video
People not knowing Sinead O'connor hurts me she is an iconic legend back home
Yeah... I cry for real music too! It's hard today!
She’s icon everywhere! Here in Czechi this song was so massive!
You all really need to start giving my cultural and music history context to these music videos. Especially for the younger generations who weren't alive for a lot of these videos.
Love when Jackson and Angel are together! Xxxx
For the two who didn't know the difference between viral and iconic...viral is popularity and iconic is being inspirational to (to quote the title) generations to come. And I'm only saying this because it lowkey irritated me when they said only Lady Gaga had a concept. You know where many of her concepts came from? Madonna. Janet. They all had concepts that have inspired other artists, maybe they just didn't understand them. Anyway I hope I don't sound snobby, but that just didn't sit right with me
Jaxon was raised well! He knows his shit. And Angel is so adorable.
Hearing some of them not know gorillaz when i know for a fact i'm younger than all of them is heartbreaking to me. Gorillaz got me through some shit
my 15 yr old son has been listening to them for yrs. He just discovered ICP
Everyone just reacting normally to the videos, Jaxon and Angel just vibing and having their own party each time.
I love when angel and jaxon are grouped together it’s so fun to watch
Jaxon turns into a different person in these videos 😂
A-ha "take on me" is the greatest music video of all time IMO, the pencil animation paired with live action is so captivating.
Jaxon and Angel actually hit the note. Good job, y'all!
A-Ha
Jaxon has top tier musical taste. Super entertaining to watch.
Jaxon is just killin it no matter what era of music you throw at him.. And hes got proper knowledge about the artist and everything, sometimes more so than the adults!! Jaxon is a cool dude..
This is the guy who thinks a-ha are a #1 hit wonder? Ok...
Y'all should have told them why they, especially the older videos, were iconic. For example Sinead O'Conner- this is a huge female star, in the 80s, with a shaved head, on a music video. It just did not happen.
Yes 100% and her video was also iconic because it was so different to anything else being produced. The 80s was about excess (crazy sets, rich colour etc.) and here was this song and music video that was stripped back to subdued tones, a couple of frames and pure emotion.
Kids need to watch what they say about Sinead O'Connor
Jaxon is a whole mood in this video LOL
I live for Jaxon moments in these videos. Absolutely hilarious 😂
Y’all, Jaxon vibing with these songs is just my fav. Plus another Daft Punk fan!!! Wish they were still around.
I love how Jaxon just vibin' with everyone that he pairing with 😂
Jaxon and Angel need their own show.
The Boy with the brown hair is full of energy and almost knows every song that’s dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jaxon makes the whole reactions more fun to watch..
The drawings for the animation in Take on Me was done by hand over 3 months by 1 guy.
Well, Jaxon sure turned out to be a fun person.. lol
This whole list could've easily been only Michael Jackson videos. I remember his music videos (or in his words short films) being premiered on primetime tv when I was younger.
Jaxon and Angel had so much fun together 😄
Jaxon is my favourite
Virtual Insanity is a lot more iconic than Hotline Bling for dancing in a room by yourself.
It's safe to say Jaxon had a good time shooting this one 🤣🤣🤣
That kids Christopher Walken impression is excellent lol
Clint Eastwood is a more iconic Gorillaz video than Feel Good inc.
Jaxon screaming Sabotage absolutely killed me! 😂
There are some good selections here. However, there are some notable absences as well. Thriller by Michael Jackson, Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A., The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Bye Bye Bye by NSYNC, Hey Ya by Outkast.
Same.
Thriller is not there as it was released in 1982 and the host said in the beginning of the video, that the songs are from the 1990s and the 2000s.
@mary davis well then they didn't follow their own rules. Take On Me was released in 1985, Like a Prayer was 1989, and Rhythm Nation was 1989, Sledgehammer was 1986.
Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity, Blink 182 - What's My Name Again, and Sisqo, Thong Song have to be in your next one.
the people not knowing gorillaz made me so sad they are so good
The young people saying they’d never seen the Sinead O’Connor song made all my joints hurt. 😂😭
Jaxon and Angel are too cute
I'm a bit surprised these Ok Go videos were included, but not Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity.
nor any Michael Jackson video like Thriller
The biggest most iconic music video in history wasn’t even mentioned. Thriller Michael Jackson period
How many of them even know that drummer in the background of the Nirvana video would go on to great things.
Where is Thriller by MJ
No Jamiroquai Virtual Insanity?!? MJ Thriller?!? You didn’t tell them that Prince wrote Nothing Compares To You or explain the SNL incident…
This channel needs to do a whole OK GO video
I've been asking that for YEARS. STILL hasn't happened
Christopher Walker is a trained dancer. That's how he got his start.
Every time I see Jaxon he seems like a really nice great person! Every video is like a new different side of him ! Love all of you !
Why no Michael Jackson?!
Thriller, Bad, Smooth Criminal and Billie Jean are much more iconic than these!
How on earth do you make sucha list and not include Michael Jackson? You know, the guy whose videos not only defined a generation, but the artform of the music video itself? Billie Jean? Beat It? Thriller?
Right half of these had no business being on here. No thriller or baby one more time is just ridiculous.
I got my preorder in for the AngJax duet EP. The variety. The energy. The emotion. The talent. Take my monies.
Nothing Compares 2 U, sung here by Sinead O’Connor, was written by Prince.
It's pretty amazing the Take On Me is now almost 40 years old. It was made entirely by hand, before computer animation could do that type of thing.
A-Ha was only considered a one hit wonder in the US. In Europe they continued to have hits for many years.
Sinead O'Connor was an early victim of cancel culture. She was pretty much blanked by all media outlets after she ripped up a picture of the Pope on Saturday Night Live in 1992.
I love Jaxon and Angel's energy! They seem like they'd be really cool irl.
Same here.
A video about iconic music videos with no Thriller? Crazy lol
Literally just typed the same comment 😹🧟♀️
Michael Jackson Thriller is not in that list ?? Really ??
ikr!!
Yeah wtf. Or Bad, Smooth Criminal and Billie Jean. Super iconic music videos and songs
Good list but some videos missing from here are "Baby One More Time", "Thriller", "California Love" and "Black Hole Sun"
Th host did say the songs are from the 1990s and 2000s, Thriller was released in 1982.
Thriller - MJ
Virtual insanity - Jameriquai
I would do anything for love - meatloaf
November rain - guns n roses
Welcome to the black parade - MCR
Breaking the Habit - Linkin Park
Without me - Eminem
Jaxon parents must have really like music man 😂 I'm still surprised by the amount of knowledge he has on 90s songs
You totally missed Jamiroquai Virtual Insanity
FR
Yes.
Yes!
Jaxon and Angel vining and dancing to all the songs is the thing 😂 I mean, Jaxon is always just happily vibing, but to see them both in unison is just priceless 😂
Best duo! Great energy!
A-ha isn't a one hit wonder. Legends from Norway!
Definitely. Maybe in US they only known for Take On Me. But they have other great songs. Americans should have type A-HA and search 😅😅
Jaxon rocked this episode!
A difference between iconic and viral! Yes!
No, Jaxon, Aha is not a one-hit-wonder. The band had two top twenty hits in the USA and had several hit singles in many countries in Europe, South America and their native Norway.
“The Sun Also Shines On TV” did well in the U.S. as well as “The Living Daylights,” which was a James Bond theme.
Jaxon is a whole mood this video lol
jaxon's going places
Music episodes never fail to make Jaxson get the zoomies.
