5 YouTube Channels You Need To Know About
So I spend a bit of time on YouTube...actually, I probably spend most of my time on YouTube. I don’t really watch conventional TV anymore, and Netflix really isn’t my gig. However, the individualistic nature of YouTube has drawn me to it, with how you can watch whatever, whenever, for free! That being said, I’ve been watching YouTube for a long time now, and I figured I’d share some of my favorite channels, that you might not have heard of, with you all! Below are five channels, along with links to their pages, and an attached video.
vkgoeswild: Legitimately one of my favorite YouTube channels period, Vika takes her amazing classical piano skills and uses them to transform classic rock and metal tunes into piano masterpieces. I might be biased considering my taste in music, but her channel, I believe, is a must see for any music lover!
Geography Now!: Again, this might be a biased pick considering my major in college, but this is the best YouTube channel I’ve come across regarding the subject. Each week, in alphabetical order, is a 10-15 minute video talking about each country of the world, analyzing everything from physical aspects to cultural practices. And their host definitely keeps things interesting!
CDZA: This project is unfortunately on indefinitely hiatus, but their back catalog of videos are more than enough to keep you going! Whereas VK’s videos focus more on her technical prowess, these videos are truly for the music nerds out there, with additions such as “History of Lyrics That Aren’t Lyrics” and “Fresh Prince Google Translate”. If they were still active, I would list them among my absolute favorite channel!
CGPGrey: And here is probably my favorite YouTuber of all time currently! He is by no means small (over 2 million subs), but his videos are all so educational, along with the side effect of being entertaining as well. He covers everything from history, to geography, to science and philosophy. I can’t begin to talk about how much smarter this series makes me, and CGP is, for sure, the first video I will click on in a list of new ones in my subscription box.
JonTron Show: Another large YouTuber, Jon Jafari, in charge of the JonTron channel, likely doesn’t need any more subscribers. But I can’t help but show him off, because his comedy is so damn funny! His channel relies mostly on reviews of old video games and movies, all of which are usually bad or bizzare in their old way. I will say tho, you don’t need to be a hardcore gamer or film buff to enjoy JonTron. His style of comedy is the most unique I’ve run across, ranging from pitch black to absolutely bizarre, and it’s impossible to look away. Hope that you all enjoy him as much as I do!
