who are the denpa youtubers? what makes them denpa youtubers? is this even a real genre or sub category of youtube?

i'd consider it more of an anti-artistic "'art' movement" rather than a genre.

I think the sense of denpa you're speaking about came from a group of friends who called themselves DENPA MOBB. The core of which being N0thanky0u, Dotesmite, and Princess Plunderphonics. Who were all interested in dropping out, reading anarchist philosophy, making LOTS of noisy weird music, manically expositing at absurd length (about the procrastinators scene, otaku, imageboards, n1x, stirner, luke Smith, thinkpads, Linux, their individual fixations, their meatspace derived cultures (london stuff, Estonian punk stuff, rap stuff respectively), and especially Internet culture, gripes about everyone and everything from peculiar people who wanted to be left alone), and encouraging people to live like them if they felt the call. Lots of people have independently adopted the word to describe some electric dissociation before and since them. And each time the ultimate real sense of the term has been a revelation of the limit which they believe defines unusual and delusional electric experience. Outside of the core, OsakaSyndrome seemed just as connected and influential to their style of videos but seemed to always be at the periphery, having more of an individual connection with core members rather than interfacing w/the group. Then there were a huge number of closely related channels, friends like the other members of the crabstack podcast, and friends with similar styles like Jalae. Other channels like Mr Daggers Irl, were never considered denpa really I don't think but seemed like precursors and contemporaries for also going insane in their room or whatever. Anyway, of the core group only N0thanky0u really makes videos in that spirit anymore and they're way more Demure now. I don't think plunder makes videos anymore and Dotesmite only occasionally posts good not-very-denpa OSRS videos. Osaka has mellowed out A LOT now and kind of just makes pretty normal neet/life videos only made interesting by their lineage. Jalae's still very denpa. Idk. This is just a very small perspective, I doubt anyone actually involved would describe it like this.

Oh yeah, N0 and dotesmite are like dating now 0_0. And Idk if they talk to plunder. There was kind of a whole seperate network of insane neet ppl like zabujard which osaka was a part of and ummm I guess the point of my post is that IT WAS A GROUP OF FRIENDS at like a certain point in their life, 90s Russia, idk w/e/ykwim. AND NOW THE TERM JUST EXISTS LIKE TO DESCRIBE THE THING WHICH GO ON FROM THEN AND IDK.

The perfect explanation of "denpatube" as it was at the time

Osaka was the first person to call these videos denpa. His old friend (random 70iq Korean sperm who kept changing his name online) even had a website called "denpa tube" in 2019 dedicated to hosting videos. It did not exist for very long.

this is such a deep cut video, being on a dead channel with all of its videos delisted. how did you find it?

>>9
I watched it back in the day, and am still subbed from then, and remembered it, searching C and trying to find their channel would be hellish. luckily it's in C's playlist containing their delisted vids

has anyone saved kearesu's videos? i loved them so much

>>11
I saved them all. They're on a computer I'm too paranoid to add or take from.

>>12
wow that's great. but what do you mean exactly by "to add or take from"? are you afraid that the files might get corrupted or something?

12 >13

when a drive is on the fritz, typically reading from it is safer than writing to it. also it's possible to use a usb boot os (linux) to mount it without needing to boot the os (which would cause extra writes to the drive) to "safely" copy files off to another drive. this all assumes enough know how and a spare external drive, etc.
it's at least how I would go about recovering data from a sussy drive.

>>12
They're on a laptop I removed all the wireless connectors from. If I connected the laptop to anything (like a USB stick or another computer or w/e), I'd feel paranoid that it was transmitting the laptop's whole contents. There's nothing bad on there really and idrc about tech privacy at all, but I'm still just randomly very fearful abt that. I'll definitely share his videos here if I ever change.

>>15
governments have mains powerline transmission protocols for snooping on even a plugged in but off machine. but the powers that be are able to read the shuman resonances for the transmissions which are emitted by a completely turned off machine due to photons and neutrinos exciting electrical currents in the processor. basically you're fucked no matter what, may as well transfer the files off the laptop to a removable drive and create a magnet link to share here.

>>16
I don't plug my laptop in to anything and I'm not worried about the second thing u talked about at all.

>>17
but you must have used the internet to download the videos to your laptop. how is using an usb stick or whatever more vulnerable than that? although i may get it, as i have had/have various ocd problems myself and this is what it's reminding me of

>>12
please upload them

>>18
That was before I removed the wireless connectors.

>>19
it was sad when it happened. i had most of his videos in my watch later list. now they're gone. never to be seen again. i saw kearesu respond to a person's comment, asking if he could reupload them, and he said something like "you can do whatever you want with it. it's your data." But then that guy never uploaded them!

>>21
I remember that too

>>22
yep. no reason not to upload them as an archive.

>>6
"Red madotsuki" was the name that became least forgettable I think. I remember some vlogs somewhat fondly, the quieter ones where wandering outside aimlessly took the front seat, like the one walking at night to grab soda bottles at the gas station were comfy. Red's videos were also such an emblem of a whole genre of dull NEET youtube vlogs I think, that the fallout with him saw "denpa" being more discriminating about not being just about NEETing.

Isn't an art movement of the kind limited to a group of few friends just a clique, an "art movement" with no thesis?

too many sweat in denpadupe that's why left denpaclan

zabu jard has gay aids

>>28
no politics

>>29
you should have replied that to 27

>>29
viruses are biology not politics though albeit

>>31
viruses are biology. they're factual, which is not a political statement. saying they don't exist is a political statement, though.

>>33
hey, did the guy that runs this site ever ban you?

>>32
viruses don't exit. it's biology.

>>35
what do they not exit?

>>35
U (the umm uhhh viruses, no politics rule, guy) should make some like n0thanky0u style videos and post them here. I'd watch them. It's kinda hard to get what ur about thru random posts.

i love you anti germ theory schizo

We love our denpas, don't we folks?

never heard of denpatube. im here as a fan of denpa song

>>25
there was very much a thesis of the whole denpa thing back when it was most active. I'll talk about the main one later but for most of the group an important factor was radical sincerity. this can't really be described as core to the thing in itself since n0thanky0u and osakasyndrome never really agreed with the idea. it was important for most other denpas (major and minor (it's also important to note that the breadth of minor denpas and denpas adjacent to the sphere that were never really a part of the clique means that denpa definitionally can't be a clique)).

but the primary thesis of denpa was an adjacent idea that things should be themselves as much as possible. if you wanted to make a youtube channel, it should embody what you think the essence of a youtube channel should be. if you want to make abstract music, it should be the most core version of that abstraction. so while the idea of radical sincerity isn't required, it melded perfectly with this idea because by deciding what was the most important part of a specific thing, you already reveal your values as it relates to that specific thing.

the problem with the entire philosophy is that by nature it drives itself to further and further obscurity. when you get to the actual point where you can purely express the specific thing you're trying to express, it becomes something that you wouldn't really want other people to see. from my understanding, a lot of the newer denpas mostly interact amongst themselves and don't really make anything that public facing.

feel like this conversation was relevant to dote's new vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rANzgClVbZs
(good vid btw)

denpatube always was living in the future. under covid lockdown years early, seeing the trends logical progression. now we are doomed to see that future made present while those who bring it drag the worst of the past into it.
is this what becoming facist feels like?

>>42
There's no hate in this video. No masking off. No fucking of normals!

real denpa has never been attempted

>>42
I fucking hate Age-Restriction.

For real. You used to get around it and yt-dlp would still work with it but now for no fucking reason whatsoever they decided to make it server-side so you actually have to give your fucking id to google. Every other video seems to be age restricted and the service is quickly becoming unusable. It's such a bewildering fucking anti-user policy. I hope whoever implements it ropes

>>46
Continued from this, does alphabet/google/youtube think that toddlers were figuring out how to bypass the restriction? There was literally no good reason to kill the fucking site like this

honestly, YouTube has just been a massive pain in the ass to use in general lately, and I suspect they're starting to notice more people than ever downloading shit as a result
thus, more hoops to get through, and a more certain way to identify users

>>42
how do we create the denpa ethnostate?

>>42
I coomed

>>12
Sorry to necro this thread, but if you have them you should stop fucking around and upload them

don't be sorry to necro old threads. more posters on here should dig through what's already been posted and post to them instead of just randomly making new threads that cover the same topic
