I made a video on Hardcore
 

Come and take a look. I have 700+ posts, I feel like I'm allowed to do this :')

You certainly are.

Yey I've been self promotion approved by Grindy.

Edited the post so we can see the vid. Just use the '98WILCfXyGM' for future reference. Will watch now.

Batlord@21:09 lol

This is possibly the dumbest thing anyone on this forum has ever made.

**** off, ****. It has me in it. It's good by definition.

Had you not pointed that out, it would still be classified as bad, but knowing that you're in it makes it so much worse.

Oh, it didn't work? I can't see it regardless, chrome is having ''Cannot load plugin'' syndrome again.

Also eeh, you alright Ki? 0.0.

You posted your video here to get critiqued. It got critiqued. I'm fine.

You didn't really tell why it's so dumb, and it's rather hyperbole. At least Batlord's a funny *******.

Alright so you asked in the video and I know, so here goes.

In the late 90's, emo had split up into two directions that reflected each other. The more twinkly, indie-leaning midwest emo bands were on one side, and bands took note of that and added Jawbreaker's and Lifetime's influence, forming the first wave of emo-pop. At this point, it was compromised of bands like Saves the Day and Get Up Kids (which imo aren't bad at all). They were more pop punk leaning, but not the the point of it being too awfully whiny. Near then, bands like Thrice, Alexisonfire, and Thursday were developing their screamo-influenced, pop punk tie-in version of post-hardcore, which I also think is great. However, they had a little more angst in their sound, which was soon embraced by the likes of From First to Last, Underoath, and The Used; who then added the influence of emerging bands like Bullet for My Valentine and Killswitch Engage and took the then skate punk-centered Warped Tour by storm. This was around 2004, when NoFX's Fat Mike was having a publiized fued with the also touring Underoath. I think that would be a signifier of the turning point of it all. From there, scene culture developed and gained traction until it became stuff like Sleeping With Sirens, My Chemical Romance, blah blah blah.

So basically, Thursday-brand post-hardcore+emo-pop=dark emo-pop+melodic metalcore=modern scene culture

I'm not trying to be funny. I gave my opinion.

Thanks! :D

You're also quite a dick about it, come on, the dumbest? Elaborate please.

Alright. It's not the smartest video i've ever seen.

As I'm insecure as ****, I'll just leave it at this:

**** off, Ki. Imma listen to some Hardcore or something.

He's a bored troll. Nuff said.

lol

I figured.

Next video metalcore or I'm unsubscribing.

Make your next video about Metalcore and I'll subscribe to you.

That sounds like it would require effort and editing. I'm not about that. I'd rather do dumb **** like this.

And yes, this is my video.

@Dylstew

Can I make a suggestion for your future videos?

Sure. (If it coincidentally has to do with the volume, I already know it's all over the place)

Editing is a pain in the ass.
''Cannot load plugin''..hmm, I'd have to open Firefox to see it. Question is..Do I want to?

Well, i was unable to watch the whole video. So I can't comment about that. I found your voice to lacking in emotion. It causes it to be a little cringe worthy (I hate saying that but it's the best way to describe it). If you don't know what I'm talking about I'll show you some video of guys who do it fairly well.

..I have a bunch of people who keep saying they like my voice. Well, I guess maybe it's just because autistic people are cringe worthy. Also, one of the channels I'm heavily inspired by (well, my gaming videos), Matthewmatosis, speaks monotone and it works.

It's just an hour-long video of me playing Solitaire (with boring video of me in the bottom right corner) listening to a grindcore playlist. There's no point to it other than to see how long you can watch it, and if you like grindcore then the endurance test is just watching some guy play Solitaire for a solid hour.

I found his voice reasonably engaging. The subject matter did not require effusiveness.

I hope autistic people aren't. I'm autistic and trying to do something similar. Lol.

When I was younger I always talked extremely monotone, which is an aspie thing. Nowaday's that's not the case, tho narrating is another story.

Also, Batlord, I should torture my mom with that video.

At a young age I was forced to stop being monotone. My parents through into selling jewelry when I was like 8 or so. I had to get over my social awkwardness at a young age.

Ah, it was quite a bit later for me. I got more and more ''normal'' over time. I often forget just how much more autistic I acted when I was younger :P.

I don't care enough about hardcore to watch the whole thing, but I like your voice and the way you narrate.

Maybe it's just me then. Ignore me. I don't know what I'm talking about. Maybe when I finally get my youtube channel going we can do a video together.

Differin' opinions I guess. I'm always open for collabin'. Keep in mind it's more of a gaming critique/editorial channel, I'm awful at giving opinions on music.

My idea is more of a discussion concept so to speak.

Care to elaborate?

I'm not sure how to explain it. I ask a question, then explore the question. That's the best explanation I can give.

Ah, sure thing.

I thought that was quite good, if your tech savy you might want to try and make an Ishkur's guide of it.

You might also want to look at hardcore meeting electronic genres.

Thanks. Wow I didn't know there was a map of metal type thing for Electronic music. I don't really like Electronic music tho, but it's cool.

The video's not really about showing music I like the most anyways, they were just examples. I don't like really madball for example, give me Minor Threat or somethin' anyday.
