I enjoy going through the comment sections under YouTube videos. They are at times funny, and at times nostalgic.

There is this one comment under the video of Queen's performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody" at the Live Aid Concert that reads, "England was ruled by a different queen for one day". I really enjoyed that.

In a way, I feel that these comments transcend boundaries, and connect people on the basis of their similarities, tastes, likes and dislikes. Think about it – you are enjoying a Tame Impala song and that one part you love the most is also liked by AnimeKid29, who expresses it in the comments. And it is not just them, but thousands of others who like that exact same part, which they make evident by liking AnimeKid29's comment. You can feel a connection with them, even though you do not know who they are or where they are from.

To me, that is somewhat special.
