Hi everyone. Anthony Fant - he - no, here, laughing like a D-bag. The internet's busiest music nerd, and it's time for a question comment thing. This video is a response - not formally e-re-re-re-re - not a response but a reaction to a video I saw on one of my favorite YouTube channels, D dot respect, run by a real cool dude, but it actually was not his video, it was a video made by another guy named NorthPawProductions that got uploaded onto his YouTube channel, and he talking about some stuff.

People limiting themselves, to mainstream music and movies and television and culture. And through that they're kinda squandering their freedom and not really thinking about what they're consuming entertainment-wise, yada yada yada.

But I feel the problem he talks about is not really limited to people just going out to see a blockbuster or downloading some Drake songs off iTunes. Hahaaa, for me the real issue is that music fans, today, in the internet age during a time where you could explore any kind of music from any place from any artist or album, people are still choosing to limit themselves, period, not just to mainstream music. It happens in underground music too. I see it big time in my comments. People who get together in groups and they fight for and root for whatever albums or kind of big right now in their respective genres and they're like review this album man you gotta man, you gotta man! A lot of these same people will turn around gripe when I review something that they don't like.

I know it's not everybody doing this stuff, but still, in this day and age, there's no excuse for that kinda - crap.

Other some genres and artists that I'm not well versed in and doesn't show up in my reviews - yes. But how else am I going to learn and become semi-knowledgeable if I don't try to listen and figure it out for myself? Because for me, limiting yourself to a genre or two genres or even three genres of music is just about as ridiculous as limiting yourself to albums that only begin with the letter C.

I have preferences, we all do, and that's fine, but I feel like somebody can only be truly comfortable in those preferences unless they've explored their dislikes as much as they have their likes. And I have to say there's a lot more to every genre than you think, it's not just all the stereotypes that you hear people blurt out in passing without even thinking about it.

And let me say through exploring my dislikes I have actually discovered that many of them were in fact likes, but hidden under the disguise of a dislike. I'm not trying to tell you what's good and bad. All I can be honest about is how I feel about an album, that's it. How you feel, you gotta figure that out.

So explore, explore, explore, explore everything. Explore music, career opportunities, alternative philosophies, new places, new people. Everything is at your fingertips right now. When I was fourteen, all I had at my fingertips was mortal combat. You guys have a lot more. Even though finishing moves are really cool.

So take advantage of the moreness. Go on Spotify, hit up some classical works, listen to some jazz, blow your ears out learning the nuances of noise music. Try some disco, some Tuvan throat singing, and call me in the morning, you've got my number. Mhm. Love you.

Exploration, have a nice day. Forever.
