Why do people hate VEVO?

[Y-Kaz]

Seriously.

Why.

[Yiffgurl]

because ads

[Deebs]

because ads

and because they're the main reason YouTube is becoming so commercialised instead of being a website about its users.

and because they're the main reason YouTube is becoming so commercialised instead of being a website about its users.

well that and the fact it's owned by google

[Y-Kaz]

i don't see any ads, probably because I don't live in the US.

@Db: But before VEVO, all music videos would be removed due to copyrights, and now we can at least watch the videos. right?

[Yiffgurl]

yeah but who cares about music videos

[Deebs]

yeah but who cares about music videos

thisthisthisthisthis

besides all the music I listen to doesn't have music videos

[StarFox]

thisthisthisthisthis

besides all the music I listen to doesn't have music videos

even if the stuff i listen to had videos i wouldn't watch them

also i love ayreon and have only seen 2 of their videos

[Y-Kaz]

But aparently people watch them

[Chicken Eater 40652]

Because DIO and XYZ

[Al K. Holic]

Because they have taken over Youtube.

[SuperNintendo64]

The only music videos I watch are not through Vevo. All of the Vevo videos are shitty pop songs anyway.

Exactly. Every music video that VEVO has is of bands/singers I would never listen to in the first place.

I love shitty pop songs :<

You would have gotten along well with the kids at my school, then. I was literally the only kid in my grade who didn't like that kind of music.

you need to learn how to have fun

[Y-Kaz]

No, the videos aren't all pop songs.

edit: Btw, I don't like pop either. I respect some groups, though. For example, the black eyed peas - basically they were my childhood

[Yiffgurl]

you say pop I say POOP
you say rap I say CRAP
you say rock I say CROCK of SHIT

98.91% of teens listen to bad music if you're one of the 1.09% that listens to cool indie and pop punk music put this in ur sig

[Al K. Holic]

...Holy shit, Justin Bieber's "Baby" has 450,000,000 views. Oh my God.

That means that more people have viewed that video then there are people in America.

Proud member of the 98.91% then.

[Yiffgurl]

baby baby baby oooohhhhh thought you'd always be mine miiine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kffacxfA7G4

[Y-Kaz]

Some people go to JB's video just to thumbs it down. They are 40% of the views

[Yiffgurl]

hahahaha it does have 2x more dislikes than likes

pro ****ing tip: hating justin bieber does not make you cool

neither does saying "oh I don't care about justin bieber either way : - P"

[Al K. Holic]

I find it funny how on a lot of old rock videos (including some of mine), we have this "METAL MOVEMENT" that claims their goal is to go to Justin Bieber videos, thumb them down, flag them, and leave negative comments on their videos. This has to be some kind of ploy to actually INCREASE the attention his videos get, because that's all it really does.

orrrrr classic rock fans are just mostly 12 year old kids who only listen to music their dads listen to

Are you insinuating I am a 12 year old pre pubescent?

well, not you, but most are

[SuperNintendo64]

Bullshitcock. Every 12-year-old I know is annoying as shit and listens to popular music, and basically just does everything that is popular because they are stupid, manipulatable and can't think for themselves.

[Guitar]

Vevo won't let me remix in peace.

[Yiffgurl]

they are stupid, manipulatable and can't think for themselves.

which is why they listen to what their parents do...?

I'm not saying that all 12 year old kids listen to classic rock, I'm saying that most classic rock fans on youtube are 12 year old kids

when I was 12 I listened to ac/dc and shit, when my one friend was 12 he listened to pink floyd and queen and he's pointed out often that all his friends in middle school listened to classic rock too

my brother is 14 and all he's listened to the last 2-3 years is ac/dc, metallica, ozzy, iron maiden etc

just saiyan

[Al K. Holic]

I've never actually met a 12 year old who liked classic rock. Then again, I don't know a whole lot of 12 year olds.

[Y-Kaz]

When I was 12 I didn't like classic rock. i still don't like it. I love rock in general, but classic rock is too... saltless, if you know what I mean

[Nickybo]

Where I live, it's the 15 year olds who dig classic rock.

[Yiffgurl]

Where I live, it's the 15 year olds who dig classic rock.

yeah it's like a 12-15 year old thing

they're all retarded

[Al K. Holic]

Where I lived, virtually everyone from 10 and up liked pop, rap, and country music.

[Nickybo]

yeah it's like a 12-15 year old thing

they're all retarded

One day they'll learn that Led Zeppelin aren't gods. One day.

[Spyke4995]

I like electronica, but that is polluted by repetitive 'Hai Guiz I can loop kick drums at THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY bets par minet' stuffs.

[Al K. Holic]

One day they'll learn that Led Zeppelin aren't gods. One day.

WORST BAND OF ALL TIME PERIOD.

[Yiffgurl]

only led zep I ever heard was their live album HOW THE WEST WAS WON

it was pretty bland and half of it was just shitty drum solos and shit

[Al K. Holic]

Just about every old rock band would have a "drum solo song" they would perform in concert.

[Yiffgurl]

yeah but for 20 minutes long? come ON

[Oz the Gay and Powerful]

Because VEVO is the reason for horrible threads like this

[Yiffgurl]

this thread isn't that bad

[Al K. Holic]

yeah but for 20 minutes long? come ON

Honestly I'm a classic rock fan and even I have a low tolerance for drum solos. My best guess, is maybe the audience was so stoned, it didn't matter to them.

or it was some sort of filler.

[Jellycrab]

Because they haven't downloaded adblock yet.

Simple.

[Sajextryus]

The only time I ever watch Vevo is when I'm listening to Beck.
Luckily, most of the time I listen to music from artists at Warp Records. They have their own channel and they don't advertise the crap out of each page.
Also, most of the music I listen to I already bought (yes, bought. I support all artists I like) and have on iTunes.

god I wish I was rich enough to support all the artists I liked

I just do no more than $10 a month, so I'd get an album or a few songs each month.
It works out for me.

yeah that's the thing, I'm constantly checking out new artists and albums so if I bought everything I'd download it would be like, at LEAST $1000 a month

[Y-Kaz]

And sometimes ppl only like one or two songs from some artist, and buying a whole album is dumb

[Yiffgurl]

well yeah unless you actually like music

[Al K. Holic]

You know what? Most people who claim to be "fans" of a band don't know more than 1-4 songs by them, and can only name their biggest hits. Some fans they are, right?

[Yiffgurl]

reminds me of being a 14 year old green day fan, liking everything from american idiot to their pre-dookie stuff, and having to put up with people who were all OMG I ♥ GREEN DAY WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS IS SOOOO EMOTIONAL THE VIDEO IS SO SAD etc

thankfully I don't have to deal with that anymore because every fan of every band I currently listen to is ****ing awesome

[Al K. Holic]

Indeed. I don't think you qualify as a fan of a band unless you can A. name at least 5 songs by them and B. Can name one obscure song by them.

[Jellycrab]

well yeah unless you actually like music

~GunShow


But yeah, you're not a fan of music if you refuse to listen to albums.

[Benihana]

So I was randomly looking to see just how many people have VEVO pages, and guess what i found: a Bob The Builder VEVO page. Yeah that's right, that cartoon that was (or possibly still is) on Nickelodeon.

whoa I didn't even know rideronthestorm posted here still

[Crystal Mech]

1. Ads
2. Videos take longer to load
3. Background isn't eye pleasing

[honeybear]

If you don't watch music videos
Then you're obviously not watching VEVO on youtube.
Makes sense to me...!

(I don't hate VEVO. I don't care one way or another. I get high quality music videos at my viewing pleasure with a 20 second ad? No biggie.)
