Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

If anyone's wondering why this works so well, both Barbie Girl and Cruel Angel's Thesis use a circle progression in their intro/chorus, and since the songs are only a half step apart (Barbie Girl starts in C# minor, Cruel Angel's Thesis in C minor) shifting Barbie Girl down to fit Cruel Angel's Thesis is fairly subtle and doesn't sound obviously manipulated.

Thanks! Love hearing music theory like this.

I only recently started taking music theory/analysis seriously (after having been a no-theory knowing mfer even after decades of playing instruments) and it has been incredibly rewarding! I've got a long way to go (my goal is to be able to play songs by ear without needing to sit down and do analysis or trial-and-error), but it's been so exciting to start seeing how songs are put together and finding similarities between songs that I never realized were there.
