This is kind of off-topic, but I completely agree with StarkillerAG about those “Sideways” videos.
That “Sideways” guy just seems so overly hateful towards John Williams, especially concerning The Rise of Skywalker (which honestly has a very beautiful musical score in my opinion). “Sideways” seems to think he knows so much more about music than John Williams, just because he took some music theory classes in college or something. Well, I’d say that John Williams, a legendary composer who’s been creating beautiful music for decades, knows a LOT more about music than some hateful guy who thinks he’s the smartest musician ever just because he has a YouTube channel.

But smug music theory people always get on my nerves anyway, because they completely misunderstand what music is about. I’m a pianist and composer, and to me music is about emotion and what music makes you feel, not about emotionless theory and technical aspects.
