in light of AReallyAwesomeGuy117's tweet and the subsequent mass declaration that "Generation 4" of editing has began, I decided to think about what exactly that entails. I had noticed changes in the general overtone of editing in light of the popularity of two relatively new editors, Gasper Ostir and Xpert Jani. There's actually two different kinds of a G4 editor I can pick up on. Here's what I concluded they entail:
The first: people like EmpLemon, Goop Videos, and coolcat001100. these are the ones who are making editing popular again via "remember these videos? they were like this!" by deliberately being somewhat primitive in nature. this serves in stark contrast to G3s habit of acting like editing was never dead to begin with, expanding on it rather than just trying to do the same thing again (NONE of this is a bad thing though)
Besides the obvious "being an already established" YTPer, these can be summed up with these traits:
Rarely ever use G2 or G3 sounds, although new sounds of their own are fine
Heavy callbacks to G1 edits
Heavy usage of dank meme culture
and of course what ARAG117 stated: ear-rape sounds, weird filter and usage of SpongeBob (which, lest I remind him, is all part of having the authentic 2008 effect)
the second kind is the people like Gasper and Xpert. Despite being obscure names in the community, these guys have actually become the most "mainstream" editors in recent memory, in the sense they attracted the type of audience that normally would not watch such a video (i.e. basic bitches). while the first kind was about making people who used to like edits but ceased come back, these are the people who just introduce the concept in general
here's how I'd sum up their style:
exclusively TV, and for that matter almost, if not always, Ed Edd 'n Eddy (Gasper in particular has used nothing but that show since he came back)
seldom ever do "short" edits like G3 was known for, usually every edit they do is at least a couple of minutes
soundpack of choice is G2. although these people do use G3 sounds, in the form of Malcolmthebeast's 1st soundpack (both use it, although Gasper has to date only used a whopping two sounds from it in his literally hours worth of editing. Xpert on the other hand uses it extensively) and ULBEdits' first soundpack (only used by Xpert). it is however debatable if these are even "G3 sounds" since nobody really used these packs besides Malcolm and ULB themselves, so you can say they more-or-less claimed them as the definitive new G4 sound selection. also JUST these two, they haven't even used the other soundpacks by the two individuals.
in terms of new, freshly downloaded sounds, EXTREMELY little. what little there are mostly come from mainstream Shit like Vine and what Viners would like
so that's how I'd put it. any comments
