It’s not like anyone watches a video and says “hey I know this song, that makes this video better!”

In fact, it’s more the opposite; “Hey I’ve never heard this before, this is cool, I wonder what it is…”Use your videos as a launching point for new and original music by no-name or up-and-coming bands that will freely (or cheaply) license out their work. You get cheap licenses, they get exposure, and your audience gets new experiences. I’ve discovered plenty of cool music acts from videos posted up here on fstoppers, and if everyone starts using LMFAO and Katy Perry for their Wednesday Rundown vids I’ll be severely disappointed.
