YouTube genres you won&#8217;t believe exist"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube is a pretty amazing website.<\/p>\n<p>It allows millions of people to view video content, catch up on their favourite games, and has provided a voice (and a living) for some of our favourite celebrities.<\/p>\n<p>But just like most of the internet, there are some truly weird and wonderful parts of YouTube you wouldn\u2019t believe existed.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 5 of the most bizarrely popular Youtube genres around:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Grocery Haul Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In a bizarre spin on the unboxing genre, some people just show off the week\u2019s grocery shopping.<\/p>\n<p>They usually explain in detail why they bought certain product and how much they cost \u2013 in the process usually revealing some of their private life.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s bizarrely normal for the most part but we can\u2019t quite figure out why people get such a kick from watching them.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XuUoVw6xsqU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Pimple popping<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We understand that it\u2019s part of the internet\u2019s culture to have a disturbing or gross video do the rounds every once in a while.<\/p>\n<p>What we can\u2019t understand is the popularity of channels which upload these videos daily and people who keep coming back to watch them.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re just as susceptible to some schadenfreude as most, but this is a bit too much.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dDKzUq4TlqU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Watching things in Slow Motion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Unlike most things on this list, this is actually really cool.<\/p>\n<p>Watching things in slow-motion never gets hold but what\u2019s surprising is how different or warped an every day action (like throwing a wet tennis ball for example) can look so incredibly different when slowed down.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FVo2qdXxQ7o\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\"

funny.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is an entire YouTube video community based around scaring the older generation which has become bizarrely popular.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"

things<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re a regular internet user you\u2019ve probably long since known about the phenomena of \u201cbreaking expensive things for views\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>What you probably didn\u2019t know is the sheer multitude of ways people have uncovered to destroy priceless technology \u2013 from dropping it off the world\u2019s tallest building to obliterating it with a .50 calibre sniper rifle.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1DuXpDWnA7A\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\"
