this is your neurodivergence checkpoint

dis songs a banger.......DOG CHOW X33

Yeah, what a fail you just did there. What i find so pathetic is all the young brats who believe they're better than anyone, who promote all those values of tolerance and inclusion and acceptance and all is pretty all is good, dont hesitate to go on age discrimination the minute someone as educated and experienced as 62 y.o. Rick Beato states something that the young brats dont like. To all those morons, i say go f*** yourselves :) As much as you'd tell me right now, right? ;) Rick is spot on about the disengagement of the younger generations about the quality, value and craftsmanship of music, whether your bratty ass like it or not. What kind of discussion do you engage on about this topic other than ''Oh another old guy being pissed at shit...''? Are you doing a self-exam of your motivations and points of view? You're not, you're just being much more virulent Karens than Rick could ever be, even with the incendiary take he has right now. At least, he has a humoristic angle about it (showing himself literally yelling at clouds lol). You, the haters, are just clueless jackasses, and you'll remain so, unless you activate some brain cells to think about it a bit. You can totally disagree with him, no problem! But THINK, for f***'s sake. THINK. And its not all young people who are like that, also. I scout around the local rock scene in Montréal, where i live and i can wholeheartedly confirm there's young people engaging in the fertile pursuit of creating music, mixing genres, deconstructing them and pushing the boundaries forward. All the stupid haters should pull out their heads out of their asses and look up to their counterparts of similiar age to actually have the picture of what Rick's talking about. You're insignificant. Millions of people are watching his videos. His road sheet tells it all.

This guy is power , he is teaching Rick to learn and get updated . Uauhhh!!! The guy is old , you must get very old to understand him

Rick is the GOAT. Love his vids.

Okay, first, it's not a history lesson. It's called context. Explaining the beginnings of a musical/recording/production era and then moving to the next major change and explaining the difference between the current and the previous method. Obviously, there a multitude of changes and innovations taking place in-between each new methodology, but do you really expect him to go into each one? Secondly, I hear you saying he's just going into one of his normal rants about auto tune and saying that "pitch correction and drum quantization are two different things, duh" apparently missing the point that it is electronic manipulation that produces the results in both of those methods and not that it is fixing faults after the recording, like Ol' blue eyes couldn't do in his day, but the Beatles could in theirs (context, get it?). You then go on to say that the unquantized drum loop has swing and triplets, but there's just generally swing applied on top of those triplets and that the quantized drum loop has 0% swing and is automatically going to make it worse. Again, the point being that the creativity of the artist is already there and these nuances are created while playing. And the last thing I'm going to say is that your solution to the lifeless, artificially produced 'music', the way of 'humanising' the quantized drum loop? Use Google and get some more software to do it. Which just confirms the whole point of his video. Why not, and this is just a thought, but why not just get a drummer who can play the drums satisfactorily for your piece of music? Oh yes, I forgot. Because it's easier and cheaper to use software on a laptop. Which, I believe, is the whole point of Rick's original video. To show how 'mechanical' the production of modern popular music is going. All that said, I have no issues with how music is made. I don't really object to todays music. Like I always say to other people, if you don't like certain music, stop listening to it and move on. I just think you're sort of missing the point. You might not agree with what he's saying, but I'm not sure you're critiquing the actual message of the video. Just my 10-cents worth.

This song reminds me of one of those toys that sang and stuff (it was like a bloob with intena and a LED face or something and its normaly pink)

this potion gonna turn me into a puppy?! :3 AWOO

Normal people food is boaring <3

I'm sorry, but youre going in way too hot man. Why would anybody try to correct him on the pitch and quantizing differences, if not in bad faith? Like do you not think he knows that? Grasping at straws that MIGHT make him sound like he made a mistake while in the end acknowledging he didnt actually, you just made yourself sound smart for a second. Saying youre being pedantic doesnt absolve you of anything.

I luv this song sm!!11!1! X3

while I am at it, its not a "door", its a digital audio workstation. NOONE pre 2000 called it a "door". Retarded.

It should never be as easy as it is now, thats complete horses##. You wanna make music and be respected?LEARN something !!! Can you sing? Can you play an instrument. Do you understand even the most basic of music theory? No? you dragging and dropping chord progressions ? GTFOH your a fraud!

Literally cancel culture 💀

I'm in a weird position with beato's video. I understand and agree with the main ideas of his video and understand his sentiment. But at the same time I watch his video and the headline "old man yells at cloud" continues to be the only thing that pops into my head. The kinds of things he thinks about trap and alot of his takes can be easily applied to basically any mainstream genre.

Wow, your plan to make content while trying to be insightful and funny about another guys content who actually makes interesting videos backfired. Bad video, and the few interesting talking points get lost in the shuffle of boring anime/meme mix-ins and the fact that you hide behind a terrible artwork-figure holding a guitar instead of showing your face and your true voice. Forgettable...

Yes. To everything you've said. Rick's selective outrage is so devoid of an evidentiary foundation that I'm embarrassed for him.

While some of your points stand you are kinda grasping at straws here for your arguments taking his points sorta personally.

This is what having pupcake as a name is like, everyone calls me puppy or pup and I just get to be silly

I am sympathetic, but I think you're missing where he's coming from; I mean you're missing _where_ he's from. He's not thinking about bedroom producers at all, he's talking about the giant labels and the dozen or so mega producers. I'm not from this world, nor are you, but he is, and he's actually criticizing that world, which he's from.

WOOF HELP BARK WOOF AA

"i can't eat normal people food" real

Rick Beato gets criticized by a furry who sounds like he's going through puberty... Lovely.

THIS SONG IS SO FCKING AMAZING‼️ X3

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TIME OF MUSIC THIS IS??

*sluuuuurp*

I'm intentionally staring you in the eyes and fidgetting.

I understand what Rick is trying to get at, but he makes it seem like it's a new thing when it's not. He believes that most people cared more about music before, but that is simply incorrect. Pop music exists to satisfy the casual music listener. Most people are casual music listeners who do not care so much about music. Rick somehow fails to see that this was always the case. The only argument he could use is that technology has (possibly) made this fact more apparent by giving the casual listener easier access to music that they would not have listened to at all otherwise. Either way, technology is still a net positive.

You’re an ageist little kid without actual context, when you have time to think about what music actually is and you learn an instrument deeply, you may realise just how immature you actually are.

mate your just hating to hate and don't actually know shit. And why are you acting like a kid and talking like one?

Some great stuff here - I assume it's your music (and rack we see)?

It's awesome that videos like this are out there, letting us hear different opinions, I love that we can chat about it and not just take one person's word as law. But it kinda bums me out when people just go, "Everything he says is wrong." It's like, do you want to misunderstand him on purpose? For example, at the start when he talks about drum quantizing. He's saying that when you start doing that, it sounds like a drum machine using samples. You said, "No, it's not," but technically, it kinda is. How do you think quantizing works? Sure, it's using samples from that drummer's song, but you could just grab a Bonham drum sample pack and get the same vibe. He wasn't even saying that's a bad thing, just that it's how it is. And when you said, "Just Google how to humanize drums," I was like, seriously? I think it's a generational thing. The older generation is like, "I know where that leads, and it's not good," while the younger generation is like, "Let us do our thing; we don't care as long as it's fun." I'm kinda in between, to be honest. I get your point of view, but I also get Rick's. By the way, I checked out some of your music, and I really enjoyed it. It's got that lo-fi vibe that I'm totally here for! I bet if you and Rick had a chat, you two would get along great because a lot of the points you mentioned are important to him too.

Guess what, you are both wrong. :-)

Nothing meaningful in life is easy. Nothing easy in life is meaningful. When you make the difficult easy you devalue it for society and make it less financially rewarding for the people who are good at it. Technology is supposed to help us boldly go where we’ve never gone. Unfortunately, most of us have nothing to contribute but think we’re awesome anyway.

This is a brilliant collection of uneducated fuckwits ,gathered on one page. Quickly, build a fence before any escape.

Rick is a sad old man who rejects anything new or different.

Music should be as easy to make as possible. New technologies of today and tomorrow will lead to not only new genres of musical genres, but entire NEW FORMS OF ART. Rick and so many of his fans would have been the ones complaining about all those new "electrical instruments"; "an ELECTRIC guitar?! That's not music!"

You're criticizing Rick Beato? Do you even know one tenth of what Rick knows about music theory, production? Do you even play an instrument?

This trans stuff is out of control. It’s fashion. We ain’t paying for that.

How many records do you sell, if you make that great music?

Rick is right. You are wrong.

Are you jealous of his amount of subscribers?

I mostly agree with you that the first part of his video is mostly BS. I don't think the quality of musicianship has gone down. Actually, it has probably gone up over time. Today you can find a random bedroom guitarist who easily outplays old "guitar heroes" like Jimmy Page. Technically amazing musicians that are doing things that would have been unimaginable 50 years ago are everywhere. It would be weird to claim that today's musicians couldn't record things on a single take. Actually, I think they are way more capable of doing that than a lot of older musicians, especially when it comes to more technically challenging stuff. While I do agree that easier access to recording technology is generally a good thing, I do also see Rick's points about the downsides. When editing the performance is so easy, it also easily leads to removing the "human aspect" from the performance. I don't think it needs to be an "either or" question. I don't think Rick is arguing that we should get rid of all of the technology. He's just talking about the downsides of it. And yes, I agree, some of his arguments are total BS. When it comes to the second part of the video (about easy access to music devaluing it), I think Rick is correct. And you also said that you actually agreed with a lot of his points, so I don't see why you need to make it sound like he's trying to make some other point - it kind of sounds like you are trying to disagree with him for the sake of disagreeing. I don't think Rick's point is that streaming services are this evil thing and we should intentionally try to make music difficult to access. His point is that the streaming services easily lead to a specific way of listening to music that is different form the "old way". Of course you can still listen to music in the "old way" if you decide to do so. But the point is, this is a conscious decision you need to make - the streaming service naturally discourages this way of listening to music. I think the very end of Rick's video summarizes the point he was trying to make - he recommends people to try listening to music in the "old way". This doesn't mean getting rid of streaming services. It means using them in moderation and actually taking the time to appreciate what you listen to. Again, there are upsides and downsides to modern technology. Pointing out the downsides doesn't mean we should go back in time and get rid of all of the technology. It simply means that there were certain good things about the way things used to be. We cannot go back in time, but we can still learn from the old ways. Again, I agree that the first part of his video was bad. But in the second part you are responding to a lot of claims that Rick didn't actually make. You are making a lot of assumptions about what he supposedly means with his claims. One more point. I had to watch the video at 2x speed. When played at normal speed, I felt like you were pausing the video way too much and making too long responses to arguments that he hadn't yet even made. It just felt insufferable. I guess my point is, maybe let Rick speak more before pausing the video, and only respond to the actual arguments he makes, and the video would be a lot more enjoyable to watch.

Keep chirping children, you’ll understand when you’re “old.”

What's crazy is that Rick Beato is from my hometown of Rochester, NY, which is home to not one, but two enormous record stores, in addition to a dozen other, smaller ones. In fact, one of the big ones is the House of Guitars, which is literally internationally famous. There is a thriving and vibrant live music scene. We have an enormous music festival every year. This guy is fucking nuts.

THIS GAME NEEDS MORE ATTENTIOM. (Also,this OST slaps.)

a song from rick beato would be: "I have no idea what a degoglefied phone would affect my listening experience"

Just a terrible video. You come off as incredibly smug, there seems to be no real structure you just played the video and started commentating. Did you even write a script? Also why not explain what he leaves out? All the innovations in music production in the 70s and 80s and so on.

I also made a video about Rick's new video the other day but I focused on the comments (they're very silly). It's very rambly with minimal editing but it's there if you wanna see it. I'm not a musician at all, but every time Rick makes a new video about "new music bad" it annoys me so much. I love a lot of the same music he loves from the 60s and 70s and its the majority of what I listen to. What annoys me is Rick somehow thinks new music is far worse but his only point of reference is some Spotify playlist thats always gonna disappoint him. Like if you're gonna complain about new music at least try and seek out some good stuff that caters to your taste. Bet he would love King Gizzard or black midi but he just doesn't search for that stuff at all

Woof bark woof woof (this song is so relatable)
