music literally every single youtuber* uses at least once (playlist)

alt title: POV: you're choosing background music for your smash ultimate youtube video

24/3/1-- "where's diddy kong racing/UT/Persona 5???" UNDER YOUR BED NOW STOP ASKING

a lot of the editing process was filled with a mix of rage and boredom of the music i've heard thousands of times over. the mario odyssey and animal crossing music softened the fall

#playlist #vgm

[xXCOSMXx]

"omg but where's persona 5" NOWHERE PERSONA 5 ISN'T IN HERE I HATE PERSONA 5 SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP

[KOXD]

0:01 "Well let's be honest... Sonic had a rough transition into 3D" ~ Theme song

[TempestKrimps]

every youtuber hates sonic unleashed until it's time to pick background music

[Barillaboon]

56:04 pov: there is a sponsor and the youtuber just starts yapping

[HANIMEME]

I know the premise of this playlist is comedic but whatever youtuber is using these songs in their videos has really good taste

[pikavolt_]

seeing the title and immediately hearing Windmill Isle tells me you weren't joking no video is safe from that song

[FlutterTheWingedPikmin]

You forgot the entire Undertale soundtrack.

[swoovat]

"This better have Windmill Isle in the playli-" *it's the first song*

you get it. Like my heart skipped a beat when I heard it immediately 💀

[Stalkiwi]

What's amazing to me is that I don't watch any american YouTuber, but YouTubers in my language. And they use the same songs. This playlist is international

[Botmini]

I like the replay bar where you can see spikes of interaction at every beginning on a song

[MoolsDogTwoOfficial]

If I hear 56:04 one more fucking time in a YouTube video essay I'm going to literally invert myself inside out.

[cybershroom]

Finally, the whiteboy with glasses playlist, you are forgetting that one XY route theme though

[kolkagaming]

I love how 4% of all the music here is not Nintendo

[YearoYT]

Alpharad: "I'll take the whole stock"

[shadyfier]

thank you nintendo for inventing background music

[hilotakenaka]

We got the "Why yes, I WAS inspired by Alpharad. How can you tell?" playlist right here

[mariokart]

There's probably a 1 hour 19 minute video essay out there that uses this exact grouping of songs in this order talking about some media project from 25 years ago

[flick_fast]

Finally, the "your childhood game isn't as good as you remember" playlist

[KimonoFlareonGX]

You could say that Kōji Kondo, Yoko Shimomura, Jun Ishikawa, Hitomi Sato, and *ESPECIALLY* Toby Fox are _every YouTuber’s_ favorite composers.

Edit: Adding Kevin Macleod, Tomoya Ohtani, Kazumi Totaka, Shōta Kageyama, Fumie Kumatani, Hirokazu Ando, Tee Lopes, Nobuo Uematsu, the tag team of Asuka Ōta-Hayazaki and Ryō Nagamatsu, ACE+, Manabu Namiki, Yasunori Mitsuda, Keiichi Suzuki, David Wise, Grant Kirkhope (you can thank RubberFruit for that), and Shōji Meguro to the list of every YouTuber’s favorite composers.

[pass_]

you know the YouTuber is mad when they use the mario galaxy final boss theme
