That feels a bit unfair to 12tone, given that he starts off with addressing the question of "is applying music theory to punk not completely missing the point of a genre about fighting back against an unfair establishment?" and ends with coming back to that question with: "punk is about rage [against an unfair system] and a refusal to accept that fighting back is meaningless, everything else is window dressing".
He's not trying to "nail the spirit" and fully aware that his analysis is just window dressing at the end of the day
- notahacker 4y agoIt wasn't a criticism of the video. On the contrary, he largely gets it when he starts talking about how playing a guitar really quickly using power chords for timbre limits note sequences and eschews tonality, which is why there end up being a lot of call and response and variation-on-previous sequence type rhythmic patterns to analyse But there's more thought involved in labelling the riffs in the video than composing them :D
