The guy talking has an unendurably annoying and geeky voice

True, true

I have to agree with "anotherfoolonthehlLL": if you are going to be an apologist for "remixing" you could at least show SOMETHING original, not just 8+ minutes of doing things others have done in dance clubs for generations.

This was not remixing. All the same music, no video mashup... just clips of people emulating a 30 year old film.

This was little more than cultural and intellectual stagnation patting itself on the back. Do you know what "decadence" means? No? I suggest you look it up.

I invite everyone to click through and behold the vast creative output of the folks with little better to do with their evenings than heap scorn on some kids having a bit of fun.

@normative The only point I am trying to make is that this might be worlds of fun, but there is nothing original about ANYTHING that was done here. Do it all you like, I don't care. But I do get a bit put out when you act as though there was something about it that was original, inventive, or new. That is taking credit where none is due.

[normative]

I had nothing to do with either video, so I'm not taking credit for anything. And if it makes you feel any better, I'm sorry you weren't invited.

I think he's sexy!

Wow. Thankyou for sharing. I certainly did not think about this particular issue in that way before and it opened some serious discussion for me on this topic.

I just would like to thanks for the channel. Like it. Thanks :)

Darn, this is nice. Shame more people have not found this or commented on it.

wonderful channel.. i like the way you put the design.. If you have chance, visit mine :D

[pinkyellowblue32]

Wow I loved your video, I'm in a media studies program and these are the things we discuss, I'm really surprised you got so many bad comments :S

Anyhow keep it up!

@normative no one was heaping scorn on their having phone. The guy was just pointing that your understanding of remix culture sucks due to your narrow example.

[shakethisvid]

Hej. I just wanted to say that I'm using this video as a reference for a project I'm working on (it was offered as source material) and every time I watch it I get something new. I'm a huge fan of remixed audio and video and they way you describe its importance to our culture is moving. Thanks for a great video, I'm now a huge fan.

Great Video! Subbed!

@lottiesocks

He's a stupid libertarian who likes to talk the ears off people.

[Wierdoinc]

This video talks about putting songs on videos. That's not remixing.

Please excuse my ignorance but what is that movie 1:30 ?

preppy sweater over button up shirt - check

douche-bag hand gestures - check

opinions of things - check

condescendingly whiny voice - check

thats a tick in every box
