He touched upon them; they were sort of a hybrid between the parody rip-off songs and the KZreadrs writing bad songs, in that they were KZreadrs writing songs taking electronic music and mixing in their random gaming stuff.

Parody, but sad story because of what could have been a wonderful kingdom. 2. Epic journey to slap the final boss. 3. Has the hardest beat drop and hype to the upcoming war. 4. Emotional and inspiring, rallying all Minecrafters. 5. Fantastical and nostalgic as a prequel to all events.

He hasn't made that many songs and takes forever to release music, but they're pretty good. Not the greatest, but good enough for a vibe which is basically what EDM is a lot of the time anyway. Midnight Drive is a good one to play when you're driving or even just in a car as a passenger (there's no way the name wasn't intentional cuz it fits perfectly with the vibe of the song).

Something i think worth mentioning is that most of the KZreadrs that actually made good music when they were active on youtube, were already active musicians. Joji, Neil Cicierega, Dan Avidan, they were all making music before youtubing was any major part of their lives.

I mean, just because it's a joke song, doesn't mean it's bad. It's all about the vibe, whether a joke or not. Music is for creativity and fun. Plus to be fair, the hunger games song by BajanCanadian was 100% better than Decisions by Borgore. And Find the Pieces, Take Back the Night, and Dragonhearted were literally original songs.

I got this recommended from a Danny Gonzalez music video…

I used to like wilburs music back in 2020, but now i realize its just an autobiography and not a character, which really makes it clear why he made so many red flag filled songs. the shelby situation just makes "your sister was right" sound like a song made to apologize 4-5 years prior.

Man this isn't the type of video i would normally watch, but it is extremely intriguing, and really well. Good job will look out for the similar approaches to subjects.

This is very interesting to me as KZread Germany usually follows the trends of English KZread, but in this case it seems like they were actually ahead of the curve. In 2015 a German group of KZreadrs formed a band and made real music they went on tour and even after the band broke up the members started a semi-serious music career on their own which means they have their own music channels with lots of views for each video (at least by German standards) and don't really upload to their actual main channels anymore

Glad to see Poppy get a mention, recently went to one of her gigs and she topped my Spotify listens in 2023 and she's currently touring with Avenged Sevenfold but I entirely understand why she isn't a global phenomenon, she seems to just be having fun with it experimenting with different genres and I'm here for it.

I still have a couple of their songs on my playlists to this day!

I've been an avid listen of music made by Will Ryan (DAGames) for many years now. As the years have passed, I have been enjoying his newest work and his storytelling. The way he is able to use his music as a way to help tell his stories (see IRIS and Pandorium) is awesome. Plus, he has been able to stay down-to-earth. Now that he's delved into other avenues like game development, I'm excited for what he has to offer in the future. This is also me being a hard rock/metal fan-

This video is over now~ (over now~)

Honestly, most of the KZread "songs" I liked as a kid were Minecraft Song Parodies. Did I think they were good? I thought they were fun to listen to but that is it. I do still think they are good but I think it's just my memories of nostalgia speaking more than the thoughts of a critic. It really does feel like the question with KZreadrs as Musicians would be: "Is their music good because they are talented in music or because it rides on a different kind of fame?" With the latter question, I'm thinking the logic of you looked for the song because it was about a video game you like, as is the case with Minecraft Song Parodies. I only learned about Living Tombstone because he made songs about Five Nights at Freddy's or DAGames when he made songs about Bendy and the Ink Machine. Yeah, most of the KZreadr Songs I like are video game themed, hence why they also include artists such as ChalkEaters or EgoRaptor with his Starbomb Albums. If the problem isn't that KZreadrs don't have talent, then the problem is a subject of what they want to make music about. If the topic they're using is what they truly want, then good on them and there's nothing wrong with that. They just don't seem like an answer you can use for the question in this video. Other KZreadrs that I listen to that fall under this category include Schmoyoho, AmaLee (even though she's mostly a VTuber and VA but still, she mainly does English covers for Anime Theme Songs), and Bo Burnham. With that said, I might consider Geno Samuel as a good example of a good KZread Musician. It's just that he isn't well known. Either that, or the first thing that is more likely to come to mind when you think of him is a certain documentary that I won't name.

LivingTombstone started to get famous from My Little Pony songs btw, FNaF just rocketed him to basically mainstream. A handful of MLP songwriters transitioned to different fandoms and found success. This is also a strange question to ask in the first place...if we're focusing purely on entertainment youtubers who transitioned to music, not youtubers whose entire channel was about creating music, the reason their music sucks is because they have very little experience in making music. Lmao it's not that deep. The one's that get big are the parodies and the comedy songs because those...yeah, the focus is on the funny, not so much on it being a good song, and parodies cut out a lot of the work so are more accessible (as someone who tried their hand in both parody songs and translating Vocaoid songs to English I do feel the need to say that rewriting lyrics for a parody does take some talent and care, that shouldn't be written off completely.) If you're making a completely original song it entirely hinges on your talent/the talent of your team. If you've never made a song before your first one isn't gonna be a banger. 🤷‍♀️ After your first song/album, whether your music improves is entirely dependant on whether you take the criticism of it seriously and whether you _want_ to improve. Why is a lot of it pop? Lol because that's what's selling right now. I like this video but it should've been framed as a retrospective of _popular_ youtuber music, not a question of why youtuber music sucks.

IF YOU'RE SO SURE OF YOURSELF, WHY DON'T YOU SHOW ME YOUR HAND

Definitely should take take a look at Alpharads band Ace of hearts, they have a few songs and I think they’re pretty good. Then there’s also Dan Avidan of Game Grumps, who’s made a lot of comedy songs in his ninja sex party band, but has also done a lot of really good, more serious songs in his other band Shadow Academy. White Whale is one of my all time favourite songs from any youtuber, Dan kills it with those vocals.

as a musician who has no idea really whats going on with wilbur and i play a radically different style of music than he does whether solo or with lovejoy (i play mainly instrumental solo math rock guitar) i really enjoy lovejoy and the music they put out and probably wont stop enjoying some of the music hes made since ive had good memories listening to some of it i dont really know what to take with the whole situation since i was a really big fan of wilbur's music and it was what inspired me to start playing music again but idkkk it feels really sketchy to say that now after all of the allegations and stuff

I mean how many rockstars do you like that are/turned out to be creeps? It's the same thing, you can still like their music.

Softwilly is genuinely a creative artist that has a few solid bangers. The whole concept of multiple content creators collabing to make music in tandem with actual artists is cool.

For some more niche/indie music KZreadr’s look up Annapantsu, Reinaeriy, Ginny Di, Jojacat, Jonathan Young, and NerdOut. Oh also Miracle of Sound and Aviators as others have mentioned.

Red Vox became my favorite band before I even had any idea that it’s Vinny’s band, and I think that really shows how the quality of their music is the focal point of the band, not the fact that people in it are on the internet

Another KZreadr who I know makes music, which I don't listen to but I believe many others enjoy, is Penguinz0 with The Gentle Men.

I think the stuff that Softwilly has been making is pretty good, some of them go so crazy. I LOVE YOU SO, KEEP IT UP, and Bloody Daisies are definitely up there somewhere in my favourite songs.

excellent video, subbed.

I think something you omitted from the video is the fact that Penguinz0, arguably the biggest and most popular commentary youtuber, ALSO makes music. Most of it is pretty experimental, sure, but he's pretty serious about it and some of it genuinely bangs. I still have 2019 Guy stuck in my head nonstop to this day, despite not listening to it since 2020. There are plenty of youtubers who make serious music both ironically and unironically, it's just that we tend to focus on the bad stuff.

Love the red vox mention :) I feel for the reason their music is actually good is because Vinny is quite passionate about making music, he made stuff from even his way earlier youtube days under the name Davys Gray. Shows that he didn’t do it to get that bag, he just wanted to pursue it. Also it’s not only Vinny that was passionate about it, another band member Joe had a band before Red Vox called Happy Anarchy. The fact that they had so many people passionate about music definitely helped them I’d say. Anyway sorry for getting historic, I just love Red Vox

As much as I agree with the majority of the analysis in this video, one thing that irks me is that the video seems to primarily focus on youtubers who don't primarily make music content. The video seems to expand upon the premise carrying this notion that youtuber simply means the popular ones on youtube, and not necessarily the people who first and foremost put their efforts into music composition, performance, and analysis. I liked the video for regaling me about the history of music production as a side project of youtube's most iconic faces and voices, but I feel somewhat deceived by the title given that many of the youtubers who didn't find success as showcased in this video were ones that simply jumped into it later as a side hustle or as a miscalculation of their own talent.

9:04 songs like these also helped my favorite genre, Nerdcore, start out. Before these, nobody was really that big. Afterward, we got Dan Bull blowing up, and shortly after, VideoGameRapBattles doung well for himself too. Covid blew up the genre a bit, too, as people were stuck inside, watching tv, and possibly hetting into anime and anime music.

it's funny because one of my favourite musicians are dodie and Conan Gray, and at that time I discovered them as youtubers, but then I listened to their covers and original songs and grew to appreciate them as artists! now i make my own music and think how much they influenced me - while youtube has a bad rep of music in general, i wouldn't be making music if it weren't for youtube lmao

It's honestly kinda depressing. Now, Wilbur and I are the same age, which probably puts me out of his target demographic, but as an outsider I was able to appreciate his music in the same vein of satire as Weird Al, Hemmorhoy Rogers, and Papa Franku. He was very clearly writing a character for the purpose of making songs that people could laugh at and vibe to, while also giving a PSA of "Don't act like this, for god's sake" It just so happens that he wasn't really that great of a person in reality.

There are so many good artists that started out as/still are KZreadrs like Poppy, Joji, or Matt Watson. There are even more that started out making music-oriented content (not only on KZread too) before they fully plunged into the art like Shawn Mendez, Quadeca, or Aries. It's not that KZreadrs/Content Creators can't make good music, it's just that a lot of them choose to because it's a popular media format that they think they can capitalize on without having to put in a lot of work into honing their skills and talents.

I'd argue that the series of original songs that came after (and as part of a series for) the Minecraft parody "Fallen Kingdom" that, afaik, Captainsparklez did still direct or write or had some heavy input for and are uploaded to his channel, they don't rely on too much nostolgia, considering it's still ongoing and had a recent release within the 2020's.

Regarding Wilbur Soot, he would also create a band called Lovejoy that took a more Britpop/Artic Monkeys sound that would garner him a lot more mainstream acclaim. He even ended up being able to perform at Glastonbury as I recall. The lyrics are much more biting, but there is definitely still that sadness within them.

It's funny to hear that youtube had 1.5 million users in the late 2007. Back then when a video had a million views, it felt like everyone I knew also saw it. Now a make up tutorial or a cooking video can get 30+ million views and most of us will never see it or hear anyone ever mention it. Times have truly changed.

I kinda get the main topic. I love my "modern human psychology", "hour+ long video essays" and "walking in prohibited places" type of channels, but honestly, the songs they decide to make randomly are not good and it's just sad seeing them do this and get no attention at best because it's not their area of speciality.

You probably don't know much about them, but there's also Vtubers, who often make cover songs and original songs. There are a number of Vtubers who are accomplished musicians. Mori Calliope - who streams on KZread and is thus a KZreadr - is signed with a record label and has 2 albums, half a dozen singles, and more.
