Oh, hi! This is a video I've wanted to do for a couple of years (idea first came to me around December 2022), a whole study and dissection of genre, and the such. The final thing turned out differently from what I first imagined it as, but nonetheless I'm still happy with what's come out of it. This video saw a lot of rewrites, at least seven or so. Research also took a long time, and at points it sort of felt like this thing would never get done. Several months in, I even came close to scrapping the whole thing. Hope it was worth the wait, next video should hopefully be a bit easier to produce.
