Are YouTube music reaction videos a rejection of identity politics?

Without really trying to make a point (it s pre-politics, remember) there was a subtle message in Jamal s list about music s ability to transcend identity by communicating that some experiences are universal. I don t think that s intentional. To be clear, I m sure Jamal and other creators are aware their videos do better when they praise the songs they are asked to react to. But however you look at it, there s an effort from creators and viewers to bridge a perceived cultural gap.
