The WORST Assumptions About Music YouTubers

[@MattsRandomJourneys]

"#2. That we treat our opinions as facts." This one sticks out the most for me because it's something too many people think. And the funny thing is, most of us music KZbinrs are actually the loudest in saying "this is just our opinion." Many of us don't treat our opinion as facts, and often, it's the other way around: viewers take the opinions we put out and treat them as fact. They put the opinions of music KZbinrs on pedestals and act like they should be seen as unquestionable facts that cannot be challenged, and we who put those opinions out can never change them because they must be accepted as fact.

[@skyleroliver7078]

#5 is what stuck with me the most, especially since I’ve had people come at me for saying I’ve never cared for Lil Tjay, Rod Wave, Roddy Ricch just to name a few. Not saying they’re bad or anything, but they’ve just never released anything that interested me, but that shouldn’t mean I gotta wipe your a$$ to make you happy about my opinion

[@MattyBTraps19]

I used to be the kind of person who would watch top 10 lists only to see if my favorite thing in that topic, if it wasn’t on the list somewhere I would dislike the video and cry a river about it. I was the immature type

[@Hokagejayson]

Bro #2 is STRAIGHT FACTS! Every time someone makes a statement on music in general. There’s always responses saying “that’s your opinion tho.” I’m always like “yeah nigga, and?” Obviously what you’re saying is already subjective. It’s very irritating. Also thanks for the lil mention @19:50

[@nonyodambiz]

Also, these super popular rappers have massive fanbases that already fuck heavy with them and love everything they do. Their catalogue speaks for itself and the fans, and yes, critics, know it. So when someone says that they're not interested in something or they're not into something, how is that their problem? How is that gonna damage the artist?

[@teolyles325]

I appreciate Amiri being honest in this video about a lot. Everyone has unpopular opinions that people will not agree with and there are many albums I do not listen to myself. I will hear songs, but the number of straight up albums I have heard all the way through are slim even for artists I love. It is one of the reasons I think Amiri may not be recognized as much as he should be as people rarely seem interested to hear the truth on what people think. Obviously Amiri does not care, but it would be nice as a fan to see his videos get more love since he is honest and does not try and force anything.

[@thefruitchef]

opinions can definitely change overtime lmao i didn’t like donuts when i first listened to it cus it was literally just beats but when i listened to it a couple years later it’s one of my favourite albums of all time

I was born in 1994 I'm in between new and old school as from music album reviewers and music news KZbinrs, as a 27 year old I'm sick and tired of young ones talking about you should've put Juice WRLD X in your Top 5. I can't stand a stan fan base. I got an opinion just like you Amiri and if people don't like it, then they need to not reply because they are wasting their energy! (I don't listen to radio music)!!!

[@andrewbutler7600]

5th reason sticks out to me but as a regular not as a KZbinr, cuz I’ve said that I’m not interested in Em’s music and my homies straight up grill me for it, like I don’t understand how when you don’t wanna listen to an artist, it’s cool but when I say it, now I should be banned from from listening to music altogether or I’m a hater or I’m being disrespectful

[@Jack75188]

[@elleofhearts8471]

I think there's certain people who conflate hip hip music itself with hip hop media and hip hop culture in general and thats why they assume you should be talking about hip hop culture and hip hop media along music reviews. besides not being able to tell the difference or the assumption that you HAVE to talk about all three if youre talking about music, it could come from a genuine desire for people to have your specific style and take on the newest development in hip hop culture and media but forget that culture and media aren't the topics you cover. Personally, I find it at least mildly disrespectful for people to think they can bait you into making content they want you to make by dangling the prospect of views in front of you. to assume you make videos for views is presumptuous and rude and really shows how cheaply they value the content you make, you as a content creator, and your motivations for making them are. I understand that there are youtubers who really do make videos for views, but to assume you're one of them is at least mildly insulting and shows bad faith for engaging with you channel. esspecially if you've never been open about views being your motivation or that being evident in the quality of the content you make. Just because you have good topics for a video or a video happens to become popular, doesnt mean views were what you wanted all along nor should that be assumed of you.

I think the first one could be explained by newer supporters not realizing the date of the videos or something of that nature

I think some of these behaviors come from people who, first of all, interprets anyone who makes a video on music as approaching music from a place of authority. Whether they place youtubers there themselves or are interpreting that youtubers are putting themselves in a place of authority just because they make videos for the world to watch. I think viewers wouldn't do the most things mentioned in the video if they didn't treat youtubers as an authority on music in the first place. This only applies to non gatekeeping behavior tho.

There is no such thing as a song being objectively better than another in terms of preference for sure but I will say it is in terms of technicality and skill (vocals, mixing, etc). With all that said, She Knows is better than Breakdown 🤣

[@packnetadaija]

I mean people can change and grow? I mean the way you feel about something can definitely change as you grow older, it's called maturing and evolving. The way how you'll feel about something now will change in 5 years, just like how you felt about something 5 years ago has changed now (at least I hope) so that's frustrating. Also like you said common sense doesn't seem to be that common. People, it's like we don't need to hear imo every 5 seconds, it should just be assumed, and if you disagree with a person's choices, you can kindly state in the comments why you disagree and have a healthy debate. It boggles me how people will be butt hurt over someone having a different opinion on their fav, it's like it's ok for us to think differently.
