You are by NO MEANS the only one who didn't list song details. At some points in my vid watching it seemed like more people DIDN'T list songs than people who did. I'm not sure if I feel better or worse knowing it's not just The Youth who are not listing songs though. HMMMMM.

I enjoy vids that include dialogue & SFX, at least when they do it well (there are definitely some that don't properly isolate the tracks!), but I think what perplexes me more is song choice? It feels like there's been a narrowing of the artists & songs being chosen? I haven't actually looked back at past Festivids or VVC playlists or what have you, so maybe this is perception only & not a real thing. I mean, it's not like I never choose songs / artists that other people vid. [Redacted comment here because I don't want to inadvertently give away the treat I made.] & I don't think it's possible OR desirable to go back to the days when it was a faux pas to vid a song that already had a vid made to it, but IDEK it feels like there used to be more emphasis placed on song choice? I could totally be talking out my ass though.

I've definitely skipped some vids that I don't know the source, so I think giving grace is good all around. & I think about the years when vids I made did numbers (the time I vidded Saga) & even then I was still comparing myself to vids & vidders that seemed to getting a better response.
