I’m starting to believe that Spotify knows me better than actual people do.

Songs just connect in ways people cannot.

wait, your favorite title card music ISN'T porky's tire trouble?

ONLY if it’s the version that plays in Naughty Neighbors, where it inexplicably loops a second time and ruins the opening joke of the short that is reliant on its tranquil music

JOKES ASIDE THOUGH I REALIZED I DID FORGET ANOTHER FAVORITE IN MY POST! yes i know the 3 i’ve linked in answering this are all Daffy cartoons… but i haven’t been able to get this out of my head recently, especially given that i’d been surrounding myself with more ‘50s shorts for these polls and Stalling seemed to get a lot of mileage out of this song

#okay i don’t know why the Naughty Neighbors video isn’t linking properly but 1:19is the thing i’m talking about #i’ve explained this before but i think it was years ago so for those who don’t know #the Porky Pig 101 set butchered the opening titles of a few shorts and replaced them with the opening music from Porky’s Tire Trouble for #whatever reason #and it’s funny because Tire Trouble is a very SPECIFIC opening. it has a starring Porky title card where he waves to the audience and the #fanfare is explicitly meant to accompany that. so it’s even more odd then! #but there’s irony in that the original opening cue of Naughty Neighbors IS the same song of Monday Morning #anonymous #asks

AU where the members of MCR were born around the 1920s and become a blues band in the 1940s after Gerard witnesses the Bombing of Pearl Harbor

#I came up with this concept as a half-joke a while ago but I think this is actually the backstory of the music video for the Ghost of You #I feel like their lyrics would veer into Screamin’ Jay Hawkins territory in some ways but I imagine it’s common for blues to have #elements of ominous melancholy menace and even the supernatural #I feel like Revenge could be a metaphor for the WWII draft (which they might have been forced into) #Black Parade could have been a reaction to WWII afterwards #I’m not an expert on blues tho tbh #I also have no clue what Gerard would be doing near a military base in Hawaii #mcr #wwii au #I was just gonna type wwii but then the au part was suggested. Okay

#arctic monkeys #I’m sorry they disappointed you sir but I’m not watching a 45 min video about how boring you think they’re music is #the first few albums they made when they were teens so it was loud and fun and so British but they not teens no more #Alex likes 70s film stuff ok have you ever had a hyperfixation over old stuff??? cuz it’ll consume you okay??!! trust me I know buddy #the arctic monkeys

rant time!

kpop reaction content isn't exactly new (at least as far as I know) but it does seem to have kind of boomed in the last... two-three years I think. I remember there being only a handful of relevant kpop reaction content creators on youtube, some more popular that the others, but still there weren't a ton of them around. and I guess it makes sense because kpop itself has gotten much more popular and widely known outside of just [REDACTED] and among a wider age range I'd say.

but nowadays if you look up “X group - Y title track reaction” you will find tens, if not hundreds of reaction videos (especially if its a well known group) ranging from channels with hundreds of thousand subs to small account with a couple of hundred views on their reaction videos. and I just find that so weird.

like... especially for channels that do reactions as their main (and only) content, I find it extremely difficult to believe that after a certain point there is any authenticity behind these reactions. these big reaction channels are out there reacting to damn near every relevant kpop group's comebacks (and there are a LOT of them) and every single reaction is generally positive and often very enthusiastic.

aside from the fact that logically and statistically it's impossible for someone to like every title track being released, even if they're all objectively good (which they're not), because no one likes every genre and every style of music, there is basically no creativity involved in creating this type of content which makes it very dull both for the creator and the consumer after a while.

on top of that, this type of content has created a really toxic environment around expressing opinions and criticism toward kpop groups and kpop music. I just came across a video from one of these bigger (while also being newer) creators talking about how she's not happy with the content she's been making for the past year. she said that it's extremely overwhelming trying to keep up with every comeback when everyone expects you to react to their fave's CB and after a while sitting and reacting to music videos becomes repetitive especially when you're not even allowed to truly be yourself and express your opinions. she said she can't even talk about having a bias in a group because she would get tons of hate comments and dms about ppl bashing her for not having a different bias. I can't imagine how people would react to a reaction video creator saying she doesn't like a comeback or even a certain element in the song/mv.

I used to love kpop reaction videos back when I had just discovered them and they were not as big. like I genuinely get the appeal. seeing someone who's not a teenage girl (which is what stereotypically the general public thinks kpop stans are) is pretty validating. and back then there were like 'vocal coach reacts' or 'producer reacts' etc. seeing the reaction of "experts" analyzing different parts of a song/mv was really interesting for someone like me with zero knowledge of any of the technical stuff. and I also understand that they do contribute to promoting groups and comebacks to a certain degree. but it has just gone too far, in my opinion.

idk maybe I’ve just gotten old and lost the will to enjoy the small things that used to bring me joy but I genuinely don't enjoy reaction videos anymore. most of those older 'exerpts' (except for two I think) aren't active anymore (I'm guessing at least to some degree bc stans didn't want to hear that their fave was not that legendary of a vocalist or their fave song wasn't as layered and complex as they thought it was) and instead there are just random people reacting to kpop and some of them you can just tell that all their reactions are completely faked out. Youtubers are jumping on this trend bc it’s easy (in terms of not having any kind of real substance) and gets u good views if you’re a little charming and funny.

TL;DR : everything is fake and authenticity is dead. kdjfdjf I'm mostly joking but in the end, as per usual with my rants of this kind, I don't have a specific point or a solution. I'm just starting a conversation. so if any of you have something to add or just want to chat about this send me an ask!! (plz don't reply in the comments because I want this to be on my dash so everyone else can read too.)

#I believe the only technical reactors that arent new are PD and reacttorhek #iirc Dre used to be the biggest reacting channel but idk if hes not active anymore or just not relevant #there are a few ‘dancer reacts’ that are new and i didnt find any of their reactions that fun to watch. they didnt anything to the convo. #idk how new ben (birb) is but i used to like his reactions back when he would pause a lot and make longer comments. new hes making very- #short reactions and barely rewinds/pauses for comments. #i dont watch reacttorhek anymore at first bc they werent doing reactions to my faves anymore so there wasn’t anything for me to watch #but then I discovered that they have a doc where they’ve made a list of groups/songs they wouldn’t be reacting to #i think the explanation was that the producer has to choose songs that are complex enough and are worth their artists reacting to #which made sense but seeing the songs/groups they are reacting to (granted i dont stan any of them) it seems like they’re actually mostly- #-reacting to the most popular groups and not necessarily the groups/cbs that deserves the attention #like it makes sense for them to be picky bc they’re a huge team and cant be mass producing tons of videos like some of these solo reactors #but it seems like instead of picking actually musically complex and interesting songs from lesser known/underrated groups theyre just- #-picking groups that will bring the most views. #i just scrolled thru their channel and nearly all the videos were reactions of popular 4th gen gps #essentially the only reactor i still enjoy watching to some degree is PD #But i still cant get over the fact that none of these reactors ever have anything other than praise to say abt evey song they react to #even I dont like EVERY song my bias group releases #so even when i watch a reaction of a song/mv i DO LIKE i dont know if the person is being genuine abt liking it #okay i think I’m done 🤔 #niki screaming into the void #long post

Kevin Day listens to classical music to fall asleep when he can’t (or to chase away nightmares)

#yes Nora mentioned in the EC Kevin listens to classical music and I believe it calms him #indulgent hc by me because I can’t fall asleep rn and I’m listening to some music on repeat and I’m just thinking #which foxes will do it #Andrew and Neil won’t cuz it will cover footstep sounds and it will make them paranoid that they will miss out important sounds so not them #I mean I can see any other foxes doing it but like do they need it? #cant see any foxes having serious insomnia (except for Andrew and Neil) #but just imagine Kevin day needing to hear classical music to be able to fall asleep #becaus even when he closes his eyes he will still be able to hear the music and that will tell him how he’s no longer in the nest #because ofc riko and the master won’t let him listen to classical music to fall asleep #okay but all the foxes are so sleep deprived and tired there’s no way they can’t sleep #BUT let me be indulgent okay maybe Kevin has a hard time to fall asleep (but he’s a deep sleeper lucky him) so that’s why he’s so hard to wa #wake up #but just okay imagije sometimes Kevin cant sleep but exy videos and history will wake him up so he just play some classical music #and boom he can relax and slowly fall asleep #since then he listen to it to fall asleep (whenever he doesn’t feel too sleepy and tired or when he can feel it’s a bad day and there will b #be nightmares) #or who knows maybe Kevin day will branch out and listen to like um idk music type but those chill soothing (NOT LOFI I HATE USING MUSIC WITH #BEATS TO SLEEP) maybe just those soothing calm music and then wow he loves it and boom he listen to those to fall asleep #this is me completely projecting on Kevin day rn #btw I’m listening to snowfall on loop to try to fall asleep but it’s already 4:30am lmao #also I’m so weird I need to play just one song the entire night to fall asleep like the soothing repetitive pattern helps me fall asleep #I’ve told my frds about it and apparently I’m the ONLY one that does this none of my frds like playing a song on repeat so ig I’m weird #or it’s my insomnia but anyways #therefore I also believe Kevin day will play this one song on repeat the entire night to try to fall asleep #also I have a playlist just for sleeping and every night I choose one song to put on loop to sleep to it (there’s only a handful of songs I #I can fall asleep to so yeah I beleiev this is the exact same case with Kevin Idc #aftg #all for the game #tfc #the foxhole court

Music and sound design are so fascinating to me, like no I can’t do anything musically inclined rn like how I can paint, but it doesn’t matter. I will spend hours listening to someone explain passionately how a song works and the theories behind it etc and it is so so cool and I’m okay with it being a hobby and not a career

#I will not understand most of what is happening but it’s okay because I’ll rewatch the video until I can recite it- #-word for word and the concepts finally begin to make sense #this post has been spurred on by me binging scruffy’s sound design in videogames breakdown videos #and I’ll move onto 12tone when I’m done #I have so many paintings and things to do school got me so busy I need videos in the background to keep me going #and it’s so so cool #shout out to all musicians and sound designers etc cuz what you do is so impressive #Also not trying to say I can’t learn music stuff just that I’m okay not learning how to do it myself :P
