DPRK:
Do they simply listen to songs and say, “I enjoyed that song. Next up… that one was good too…”, or is there any actual content, like describing the song’s unconventional use of the Phrygian mode and modulating deceptive cadences, or whatever? Surely at some point you can tell if the person knows what he or she is talking about.
The reaction videos that go viral don’t go viral because they’re full of insightful commentary on the music’s structure. They go viral because the “first time listener” reacts to Prince’s “Purple Rain” as though they’re being physically Raptured.

One thing I’ve noticed about these, “First-time listener” videos: I never saw a single one that DIDN’T love a song they just heard for the first time. Some of them go on and on about how good the song is, the rest go over-the-top nuts over the song - but they’re all differing degrees of LOVE.
You’re watching the wrong reaction videos.

The guys from Lost in Vegas seem to be honest. They’ve certainly panned songs.

This is rare.
One easy way for a react channel to get lots of views is to react very positive to stuff that is way outside their cultural milieu. If you’re young and black, acting over-the-top about ancient classic rock will help a video go viral. there are a couple of react channels that I like, but I tend to find them lazy and easy to fake.
These guys aren’t bad.
