Shane Gillis - Why White People Like Country Music Reaction

[@Jp3489]

I’m I the only one thinking these two are high AF? They’re funny as hell tho, and I love how they let the video play and just cracked up laughing with the rest of us. I’m subscribing to see more. Great job guys

The thought never crossed my mind.

[@123Coletonp]

Very good point. Letting the vid run while laughing is a game changer. Cause a lot of the time reactors will stop a three part joke after the first part and laugh it out then they aren't primed for part two and three

[@jasonrobinson4388]

My favorite dudes to watch. Don't waste a bunch time stopping the video every 30 seconds to speak on it. We watch it til the end and then speak on it. And for that, I thank you.

[@27TheSlider]

same here. feel like Frank and Rondo are my close friends at this point, even though we’ve never met. the internet can be really wild that way

[@robertstratton7117]

Honestly yeah, this is a great format, when people pause it constantly I get super annoyed, these two are good and their format is better than other reaction channels. This was my first time seeing them and I subscribed

[@brendancurtin679]

I mean I agree, but the issue with reaction videos is copyright infringement. Legal Eagle has a good video about it. One of the ways that it can be considered fair use is by adding commentary and only playing select snippets, rather than playing someone else’s whole video straight through without stopping. Generally, the reason is people aren’t going to watch the same video twice, so if you watch the whole thing on someone else’s channel, the content creator doesn’t get the ad revenue or channel algorithm benefits, and the reactor channel did. I think comedy reaction videos are different tho for a few reasons. For one, the added value from the reactor is often just seeing them laughing at certain things (especially jokes about a different group than the comedian is a part of and the reactor is part of the group-eg, black folks reacting to certain Bill Burr bits). A lot of times, comedy is funnier when you see other people laughing too. So it does add value even in just that basic sense. Second, you’re probably going to watch comedy videos multiple times. Heck, I like watching different reaction channels react to the same stand up bits. Third, most comedians aren’t trying to earn their living with a KZbin channel from content created for KZbin. They’re trying to get more exposure, get more fans, increase ticket sales to their shows, drive people to listen to their podcasts, etc. So having their content played in full on reaction channels without any pauses actually helps the content creator, ie the comedian, in this case. It’s not just stealing views from a content creator. At least that’s the gist of the argument I’d make if a reaction channel were facing a copyright infringement suit from a stand up comedian, and I were the KZbinrs’ lawyer.

[@dirtnap9641]

Saw Shane a few months before the new special dropped. It was right there with seeing Louis CK live, and he's my all time fav

[@artaxAF]

To answer your question from the beginning: Country started as a combination of blues and Appalachian folk music (basically bluegrass), which itself is a combination of traditional European music with African slave music. Rock and roll is more of a direct descendent of black blues music, with a little bit of country and pop influence added in. It's not linear, though; everything influences everything. It's beautiful, really. Also, Shane is hilarious.

[@jakecook2375]

He was funny as hell

[@renegademax]

100% correct, mate and when I've said this in the past to White players, some get irritated, not surprisingly.

[@leroywatermelon4025]

Funny enough, Rap is derived from square dance music.

[@joebaer1358]

Eh I would say mostly correct except Appalachian folk music is essentially a direct descendant of British and Irish folk music they share a lot of the same standard songs, the big differences are the addition of the banjo, and mandolin, which are west Indian and Italian instruments respectively, and the complex picking styles, like finger picking, Travis picking, and flat picking.

[@artaxAF]

@@joebaer1358 Not trying to be contentious, but that's mostly incorrect. The banjo is originally from Africa, not India, and mandolins came way after the advent of Appalachian folk, once mail-order catalogs became a thing. Yes, we do play a lot of traditional standards from the British Isles, but that's not Appalachian folk, it's British. The combination of that with the African influence from slaves created a sound that is unique to Appalachia. The idea that it has no influence other than British folk is just kind of ridiculous. Like I said, it's not linear, everything influences everything. (btw, this isn't some social justice thing, I don't care at all about race, just the facts)

Country music and the blues are just rural southerners music. My family and I were close friends with blues legend Big George Brock and he always told me how the blues came from working in the field and singing to themselves to pass time passed down from generations before. A way to deal with their hardships. I miss him.

[@gokuss15]

Idk about all country but bluegrass comes from Irish folk music, that’s where the banjo and fiddle combo comes from.

[@bigpictureguys8415]

[@rieskimo]

Banjo is African in origin(if you don't think freed slaves and the Irish didn't mix in Appalachia you're crazy)

Country music is just Irish music with the instruments that were easier to make on the frontier. Listen to some Irish music and you'll hear straight up country. One of my favorites is about a woman who watches the sea hoping her new husband will come back from war. Another is about an old man drinking himself to death. Good stuff.

[@brownjatt21]

You have to give credit to the rest of the influences. It pretty much all the immigrants from the British isles who settled. English folk music, Scottish, Irish. Then mixed with many African influence as well. The predecessor of the banjo used in blue grass itself was originally an African instrument.

They even included yodeling from immigrants from the German Hemisphere in the later 19th century.

1:30 a lot of country musics sound comes from the Scott Irish immigrants you can still kind of hear that Irish folk twangyness in some songs but later on after blues became more popular it made its way into country music much like rap and rock have.

[@dragons_red]

Country evolved from folk which came from old Celtic music from the European immigrants, but i think modern country definitely has blues influence mixed in.

I grew up in Eastern Europe in the late 80s and early 90s and listened to a lot of rap music. I learned a ton of slang/ebonics and then I moved to an English speaking country that didn't use that much black slang or maybe different black slang and I used some terms with white snobby people looking very weird at me and me thinking - what the fuck's their problem? Until I met an English teacher who was kind enough to explain to me that it was unbecoming from a white guy to sound like Snoop Dogg.

Country music is really really old. It came from Appalachia, just as bluegrass did . Came from the descendants of English, Scottish, and Irish immigrants. Over the decades It has all mixed with other genres, including with blues, as all things do, but definitely isn’t one of those “white things secretly invented by black ppl” things. LOL

[@hatleyhoward7193]

It’s not “white thing secretly invented by” but it definitely is missing a large piece of the historical development by leaving out the African contributions and importance. It’s a culmination of so many influences and designating it as purely White European is omitting the African influence… starting with the instrument that would end up being the banjo.

[@multimulte]

99% of all music comes from a system invented by Europeans. Look at the things done in Europe 400-500 years ago, and you will see both country and blues comes from Europeans. So does your computer, your phone ,TV , radio, lamps and lightbulbs, cars, roads, bicycles, airplanes, rockets, internet, even your toilet, and your guns etc. etc... all invented by Europeans/white people.

[@deshaunx776]

That is BULLSHIT and you ought to be ashamed for writing that. Before the major Black influences, there was FOLK music. In the 1920s, post Ragtime, black influences were VERY prevalent in what had become known as “country & western” music. Does the name ELIZABETH COTTEN ring any bells? BLACK woman, country artist who invented the “Cotten picking” guitar style?? Think she wasn’t incorporating the blues?? Get real. Even bluegrass was developed in the 1940s as it incorporated jazz (BLACK) and blues (BLACK) in addition to traditional European styles. Stop trying to minimize and erase Black contributions to the culture. It takes nothing away from the great White talents and their important & amazing work.
