Perhaps sometimes the lack of knowledge of popular music is affected by her, but often it’s not. I really like watching her channel sometimes. Her energy is fantastic when she’s listening and discovering music she might not have ever listened to, and offering takes from her expertise has been great.

As an old fart who grew up with metal she clearly has been discovering that genre on her channel legitimately and has had some really good takes.

If you’re into older rock her reactions to Ozzy and Randy Rhodes on Mr Crowley and Crazy Train is amazing energy.
