[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 8562873, member: 7026594"] Zharoff is excellent. I don't watch all of her stuff, but certainly some. I never expected to get into the Reaction Video YouTube genre, but for music specifically it can be a lot of fun to watch someone experience and respond to a song you love for the very first time. It's kind of like introducing a friend to music, except that the reactor is (usually) more focused, and often has some music training and puts some work into understanding and articulating what they get out of it. And you can watch it while you're on the elliptical or driving in to work. :ROFLMAO: It's certainly not AS good as introducing an actual friend to a song and having them geek out over it WITH you, but those experiences are sadly hard to come by for most of us, with adult schedules and lives. My other top channels in this genre are probably College Students React (Andy & Alex), two younger guys who are also hobbyist musicians and have the vocabulary and critical ears to notice and articulate a lot of details, and Lost in Vegas, a couple of guys (George and Ryan) primarily coming to rock and metal music from a hip hop fan background. Some of my love for the latter may be linked to the fact that they love Black Sabbath and Alice in Chains as much as I do. The first vid of theirs I ever saw was them hearing War Pigs for the very first time and absolutely losing their minds over it, especially Bill Ward's epic drumming. Their BS and AiC reactions are something I can pull up any time I have ten or twenty minutes to spare and need a smile. Oh, and Ixi Music, which is a newer channel which started out just doing deep dives into Nine Inch Nails, but has branched out a bit since. Ixi gets deep into the sauce of the chord progressions, changes and songwriting. Closely related is Rick Beato's channel, where you can watch a professional musician break down a ton of classic songs (like in his What Makes This Song Great? series), some of them using isolated tracks he's been able to obtain thanks to industry/producer connections.
