This couple, “Brad & Lex,” are “reactors,” generally reacting to songs that they claim they’ve not heard before or are basically unfamiliar with (they *seem* genuinely to be unfamiliar with most of the ones I’ve seen them react to. They are Millenials, so I guess it’s fair to assume that they might have somehow missed out on the best music from the 80’s and 90’s.). This is sort of the lowest common denominator of YouTube entertainment, but these two are more interesting and amusing that the majority of the youngun reactors I’ve seen. A lot of this is on Lex: she subverts expectations. She, a young black woman, turns out to be an 80’s-style metalhead, and the way she goes kinda bonkers sometimes while Brad remains stoic is just friggen’ awesome to see. She displays unrestrained joy; he displays restraint and self control. The two very different approaches really seem to work together very well (it’s almost as if “feminine” and “masculine” actually complement each other. Weird, I know). For example:
They have a second channel where instead of reacting to music, they react to current news events and political doings. And once again… they subvert expectations by *not* being woke Millenials.
