Obama with two young, black YouTube stars

My new addiction is listening to “reaction videos” from young people. This pair, called TwinsthenewTrend, are my favorite, and is the fastest growing channel. They are 22.

(They have a couple of sibling also with reaction channels)

Apparently Obama contacted them, and arranged to gave them a short interview after listening to Bob Dylan’s “Times are a Changin”

Had to watch it a couple of times. My understanding is that their reaction reinvigorated the market for the song

Completely adorable

There are some songs I just wait for a certain “moment”, just to watch their faces

I did my first cast of a Youtube video on the TV just to show someone those guys' videos. I think I first saw them on DU.
