Memes aside, there are people that ACTUALLY take this guy seriously. There's people out there who consider his reviews "good" If you're one of those people, how? He doesn't discuss music in any meaningful manner. When he describes music he just uses adjectives and buzzwords "slavered in reverb" "crushing distortion", he never once gives any insight into how the music is actually written. You'd think as a music critique he'd actually have some knowledge in theory, you'd think if you were to be taken seriously as a music critique you'd be able to at least identify the chord progressions, the harmonies, time signatures, rhythm structures and point out why they work with the music and set the tone.

TLDR: how can you possibly critique music without talking about the actual theory behind the music?

The words you're looking for are critic/criticize.

He's an example of a crazy college professor. He might know what he is talking about, but his opinion is completely illogical.

So who are some of the serious youtube music reviewers that we should listen to?

Still mad about the Lil Pump review are we?

that's kind of my point, i'm wondering why people even listen to music reviews. Probably because the only people who would understand are musicians, so they have to cater to the lowest common denominator. Shame, I would really like to see someone approach it from a more technical standpoint, would be pretty refreshing, if not obscure.

Because his audience isn't a bunch of insufferably pretentious tfw to intelligent nerds like you, it's average people who are looking for a general idea of how the music he's talking about sounds so they can check it out later if it seems like something that would appeal to them.

then why not just press play and skim through it takes seconds.

Are brainlets really thi-..... yeah nevermind. makes sense now

deep cuts is nice
