Its like some influencer gave a hot tip to every YTer and they are all adopting it. The actual music sucks though. Some weird slowed down heavy reverb low bitrate crap. Maybe its just me. Get off my lawn, you damn kids.
There’s libraries of loyalty free music that these things sometimes come out of. Or AI.
A lot of popular YouTubers use the same couple of libraries too
I assumed it was an attempt to mask videos from automatic copyright scanners. Like, the software couldn’t recognize the video as being copyrighted material if the sound was very different from the original audio.
Can’t say that I have. Do you have a sample video with the kind of music you’re talking about?
Ok heres a random one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dslLBsHkVzE You expect maybe some background music on a war or nature documentary or something, but especially vlog type informational channels are now doing it. This music on this particular video is better than most and I can almost live with it. This trend just started in the last 6 months. Once you start looking for it, its inescapeable.
I’ve noticed that clearly CC stuff like HOME gets used quite often… and yt folks often make homages to other users (like Summoning Salts favorite track being used for accomplishments/records now)
Tbf, drain cleaning Australia’s synth wave music is pretty rockin but yeah the rest sucks
