Anyone else watch Dan’s Crypyo / NFT video that got 7,100,000 views and then just keep watching his stuff until you get to 6 year old videos with just 29 comments?

And three makes a trio. It's been an interesting journey. I was super confused when the box character showed up and then the resolution started dropping to potato levels. I wonder how he's thought about this long journey.

I enjoyed watching this video. As a librarian, I get requests from patrons for fiction coupled with a variety of likes and dislikes. Often the person has at least the genre they are interested in and offer what titles they have read. Learning a patron's taste involves exploring the corners of the genre to get a sense of the path the patron is comfortable taking with their fiction. After watching your video, I wonder how movie adaptations of books consider the genre of both works and how those elements are expressed through written word versus visual medium. Again, thanks for the video. :)

You touched on something I find myself surrounded by. Surrounded in a way that others in my day to day are unappreciative of or, uninformed of it's merits. Creator's seem to be getting wise to understanding the genre they fill, and further adapting those conventions with the wilder internet styles for really amazing stuff. Like you.

Hi, new subscriber here. So the previous episode on "The Fountain" has been removed. I am extremely bummed since that is one of my favorite films. I was really looking forward to seeing your take on the movie. Perhaps you could re-release it with the offending footage removed? Played by puppets? Just black screen? anything? I admit that not showing the amazing visuals from the movie would be a great loss, but this movie deserved a wider audience. I'm sure this is a film that all of your subscribers would love. The removal is puzzling since there are plenty of other "The Fountain" opinion videos on KZfaq. Just what did you do to piss Sony off? If this will continue to be a lost opportunity for me, perhaps you could consider covering "The Fall"?

Hahaha this reminds me of Deezer categorising basically all my music in the genre "alternative". According to them Lana del Rey and System of a Down is the same genre.

the screamo example triggered my favorite discussion point about the idea of genre. If enough people call a style of music the wrong subgenre, then I suppose it'll have to be accepted as the new definition of the genre. The genre itself wasn't ever clearly defined, though the music style is distinct from the stated example. What is to be done if enough people miscatagorize a genre? Should we really be all that bent out of shape if a genre begins to encapsulate something different than we're used to? Should we retitle the genre? Can we say genres can be that important if this can happen?

Language is never wholly unified, but, if you wish to convey an intended meaning, you ultimately have to make sense to who ever you're talking to and either use words as they understand them or explain your definitions. Indeed, for genre people often have to explain their definition anyway because both parties have multiple definitions or at least don't know what the other party's definition is. I find it easiest to use either more specific terms (e.g. "hardcore-punk" to refer to bands like Minor Threat where I would have once just used "hardcore") or list off bands (e.g. Blink 182 and The Offspring to refer to one type of "pop punk", "The Story so Far" to refer to more modern stuff, or Pennywise to refer to another, and I guess proto-emo stuff like "Rufio" could even be another and actual early emo could be a sub-genre of pop-punk, though "screamo" is sometimes classified as emo, and most people wouldn't call that pop-punk. Pop punk is seriously my favourite example because it has so few sub-genres, spans such a wide range of sound and is such a mess haha) or songs similar to whatever I'm getting at. Using bands can obviously be troublesome because people think of different songs, periods, etc. The loss of meaning, consistency (including with old texts), and difficulty in communication can be annoying but there's not much you can do. If all else fails, you can always get creative/wax poetic, like people did almost constantly before there was a "Standard English"

Genres don't describe what the artist is doing, they describe what's happening inside the listener/viewer's brain, which is in part a result of the listener/viewer's decisions on how to appreciate the piece. So e.g. when I say that a given song is "punk" it means I can make the most sense out of it when I listen to it the same way I listen to other songs that I call "punk" - this doesn't mean strictly that it's objectively similar to other punk songs, it means that I experience it the same way, which I may not another song that's just as similar objectively.

I like your channel but you're a bit off here. Words aren't accurately used based on how many people use it. There are some words that are normally used incorrectly. Different terms are introduced differently and that in part determines it. If there really are genres, they aren't wholly determined by common usage. You're right that you can group any set of objects together. And maybe it's true that people can use words however they do. However, we often use words in the ways we don't intend to and then later realize we used them incorrectly because we later find out that the groupings we made don't conform to the rules we had in mind. The way semantic meaning comes out of social meaning is something that isn't entirely clear but there's more to it than just a democratic process.

If the use of a word accurately conveys the information then it is correct. However, in many cases differing usage/understandings of a word prevents information from being conveyed accurately which is how you can get "incorrect" usage. It is always a balancing act for permitting language to evolve while also preserving it's utility in for transmitting information efficiently.
@lamejojo6 жыл бұрын
"If the use of a word accurately conveys the information then it is correct." No offense, but that's a naive view of language. We do in fact use some words incorrectly a lot and can recover meaning via context, based on sentence pragmatics and conversational implicature. That's quite different from semantic meaning.
