Description 

On YouTube, it's something that we use to give information about our videos that make anything that isn't too self explanatory a whole lot more clear, or to present the video as more interesting. Countless YouTubers ignore these often resulting in the posting of a stupid comment or question that's unnecessary because it was likely to be answered in the *drumroll please...* description!

These comments tend to become so sad that users need to include 20 FAQs in their descriptions because the idiots won't shut the hell up.

Read the comments to any video posted by GuitarHeroPhenom and you'll understand. They're also enough to keep someone entertained for a while, as the stupidity is legendary.
A good description:
This is a video of my transcription of awesome music from Zelda on Finale NotePad, enjoy. btw, click here to see the making of this for proof that it's legit.
