The (Psychic) Dictatorship of 'the people you SHOULD be listening to'

Welcome to the thing we are all doing... At this point in time we are experiencing...

Hym "The (Psychic) Dictatorship of 'the people you SHOULD be listening to'. It's one large Tu Quoque fallacy. You can see it everywhere. All over YouTube. They don't just arbitrate what you should think or how you should behave... They also dictate 'Who should or should not be listened to.' YOU NEED TO BE TOLD THAT BY YOUR BETTERS APPARENTLY!

Literally 98% of the YouTubers "Don't listen to THEM! You don't even have to listen to ME... But you SHOULD be listening to ME IN ABSTRACTION as someone who WOULD say the things I WOULD SAY to reinforce my ideological presuppositions!"

Hym "See that? ☝️ THAT right there is something to watch out for..."

Second-hand listening

When you hear a piece of music not as a full-song but as a snippet being used in other mediums, such as for a meme, advertisement, movie scene, TikTok, etc.

"I just realized I know this song, even though I never directly listened to it or knew its name."

"Yes. That's called second-hand listening."
