Here's a quick commentary for now. Schedule's getting tight and I needed to put something out there before I forgot to. Enjoy!
Today, TheMarcusWithin demonstrates two key things: The flimsiness of arguments based on subjectivity, and why you should never do commentaries unscripted. Seriously, these never work out.

No good deed goes unpunished.
This videos gonna dive headfirst into really heavy subject matter, so whether or not things like that make you uncomfortable, I highly suggest implementing viewer discretion.
Not really the first thing I had in mind for celebrating my channels 13th birthday. Or for a commentary, for that matter. But you know what? Sometimes, push comes to shove, and you have to put people back into their place. I dunno about you guys, but I think Kurome blaming me for Rae Kohai and Jonie Roo mistreating me, as well as Carmen trying to cancel and harass me for outdated word-of-mouth horse shit from Kurome is enough grounds for this.
I think I knew all along that I was saving Ren for a video like this, especially since between the two of them, Kurome and Carmen have enough legs to stand on to qualify as a Paralympic sprinter.
As cathartic as this video was for me to make, I really dont want to make another video like this unless I absolutely have to. I would much rather show yall my fun and creative side, not my angry and tough side. But then again, the tone wasnt really a matter of choice for me.
Also, Im aware that I keep saying Kuromes username is Kronya. At the time of me writing this script, his YouTube username was Kronya instead of Kurome Cien Towa. I have no clue why this is, but this is preserved in Carmens video. Just clearing up any potential confusion there.

Given her alleged predatory nature, Carmen’s video WILL NOT be linked here. I cannot risk children getting ensnared in her content. I strongly advise that, for safety purposes, no one under the age of 18 should look for her video. No exceptions. Period.

It took KHbrony 2 weeks to make a half-assed 6 minute video that lazily talks shit to Keyblade Master? It literally took me just 1 day to make this 9 minute video that thoroughly disputes what this guy says, animated 80s arcade themed background and all. Any excuses? lol

Just one more before I get back into the new academic year.
Today, we revisit one of my older commentaries. I normally wouldnt have cared all that much to do so. However, since my friends and I recently picked apart a video making very dumb statements about music, I figured I might as well do this while its on my mind. Besides, I knew we could smell our own.

![One Big Hug: Hold On Now! [Slayercoon]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GgmTJBau_7Q/hqdefault.jpg "One Big Hug: Hold On Now! [Slayercoon]
I decided to do something a little different today. Im doing a one-shot on a video decrying the current state of pop music (as in he bemoans songs that are in heavy rotation, or at least WERE as of Nov 2020) and pining for the days when rock music was on rotation. For now, well set aside the fact that things are called alternative and mainstream for a reason. Yeah, I know this video is over a year old, but being an amateur pop historian myself, this is right up my alley. Plus, its a way for me to show yall that Im still working on videos!
Thats not whats different, though. I am excited to announce that this is the worlds (or at least the SCCs) first ever music-based commentary. I opted for an avant-garde approach for this because I wanted to prove a point that I couldve only made with music.
If you dont like this song, youre showing me that people dont like what they cant access. This can apply to your average pop fan not liking metal, and, for that matter, vice versa. If you DO like this song, then it begs the question of why we like the things we like. And fundamentally, like a song or not, thats not what makes a song good or bad. Theres something much more than meets the eye, but thats a story for another time.
Lyrics:
Hold on now! Heavy types of rock
designed to outrage and to shock
have never pierced the charts of pop!
They never ever reach the top!
Aesthetic tastes will always change,
and new ones always felt so strange
to those who knew of pop before.
Dont mean its not good anymore!
In times of old and times anew,
youd find some gold and lots of pew.
Its music! Who cares what we think?
There aint no need to cause a stink!
Dismissing pop as all the same
ignores the ultimate pop game!
Now go on! Pipe yourself back down;
youre making music lovers frown!
