History WebVideo / MicTheSnare

* TheCameo: At the end of ''An Eiffel 65 Christmas'', several other prominent [=YouTube=] music channel figures appear on screen to share one of their favorite albums of 2021, including WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows, Luke Spencer of WebVideo/{{Rocked}}, WebVideo/CrashThompson, Mark Grondin of WebVideo/SpectrumPulse, WebVideo/TheRapCritic, Alfo Media, Myke C-Town, Polyphonic, 8-Bit Music Theory, and several others.

Nick Canovas, more commonly known as ''Mic The Snare'', is a web-based video essayist; his channel was created in early 2018.

* AnAesop: In "An Eiffel 65 Christmas", Mic learns that music people enjoy shouldn't be used to feel morally superior over other people or to force one's opinions onto others.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers:
** When talking about Music/LadyGaga in the ''Music That Defined the 2000s'' episode, he talks about how Gaga became "a symbol for art, sex, glamour, queerness, and ''[[IconicOutfit meat dresses]]''".
** In the Music/{{Outkast}} Deep Discog Dive, while talking about the lyrical themes of ''Atliens'', he mentions "...rise to fame, romantic frustrations, personal anxieties, aliens; [[BlatantLies nothing on this list stands out]]".
** A ''visual'' example occurs in the updated Music/TaylorSwift Deep Discog Dive, where Mic shows a chart full of "Incredible Debuts Covered by DDD". The list includes several albums (mentioning Music/TheStrokes, Music/{{Weezer}}, Music/MFDoom, Music/{{Oasis}}, and Music/{{Bjork}}), as well as the single "Kazoo" by electronic act Pomp and a Fullosun LED gorilla night light. Mic lampshades this by saying "I don't even think some of these are actually albums".
** In his review of ''Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers'' by Music/KendrickLamar, Mic briefly displays a list of musical predictions, most of which are absurd and silly (i.e. "Music/DaftPunk country album that released two years ago" and "Music/{{LMFAO}} ASMR album produced by Music/SteveAlbini") except for the last entry: "Frank Ocean drops another album".

* ReCut:
** Due to technical problems and a copyright strike, the video on Music/{{Spoon}}'s ''Transference'' had this.
** Mic released one for the Music/TaylorSwift Deep Discog Dive, partially due to Mic's belief that the original format of the DDD was "dismissive and not very emblematic of the spirit" of the Deep Discog Dive, as well as a nod to Taylor Swift [[TheNotRemix re-recording her back catalogue]].
** Similarly, Mic released an updated version of the Music/DaftPunk Deep Discog Dive, partially due to demand from fans and partially as a tribute following the duo's breakup.

** Mic also refers to a random [=YouTuber=] in the comments named [=SussyChungus6000=], whom he'd previously mentioned in his essay on industry plants.

* {{Mondegreen}}: InUniverse, Mic mishears the line "Been wishin' for you" in "What Lovers Do" by Music/Maroon5 as "Imma shit for you"; to emphasize this, Mic [[CensoredForComedy adds a bleep where the word "shit" would be.]]

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Discussed at the end of Music/TheBeatles' Deep Discog Dive. When discussing the common opinion among younger listeners that "The Beatles are overrated", Mic compares The Beatles to ''Film/CitizenKane'', noting that while both pioneered what future bands and filmmakers, respectively, would continue to do in the years following, the end result is that "it might not seem that special" since many of their innovations have now become commonplace.

* CausticCritic: ZigZagged. While he does review bad music, his style focuses on critical analysis, breaking down the wheels and cogs on whatever he’s reviewing. He makes a point of pointing out good things only if they are done well. He also brings up music he enjoys, such as Music/CarlyRaeJepsen.

** Happens again in the [[Music/{{Prince}}]] Deep Discog Dive where Mic, owing to both the [[ArchivePanic quantity]] and [[SoOkayItsAverage quality]] of Prince's later output, is audibly exasperated and struggles to find much to say about them.

** In his ''Music That Defined the '90's'' video, when talkng about Music/{{Oasis}}:

** His video on Music/DAngelo also breaks the series' usual focus on artists with lengthy discographies, with Mic instead focusing on an artist that only has ''three albums''.

* CurseCutShort: In the Music/{{Prince}} Deep Discog Dive, when Mic sees Prince's ''[[ArchivePanic full 39 album discography]]: [[invoked]]

** In the Music/{{Queen}} Deep Discog Dive, Mic makes a callback to the ''Glee'' essay when he plays a clip he previously used of Vocal Adrenaline performing "Bohemian Rhapsody" as character Quinn Fabray is simultaneously giving birth.

* RhymesOnADime: From the Music/{{Queen}} Deep Discog Dive, when talking about "Seven Seas of Rhye":

--->'''Mic:''' There is so much we could cover when it comes to Crazy Frog. [[Music/DavidBowie His Berlin Era]], [[Music/KanyeWest his time in Hawaii]], [[Music/{{Queen}} his Live Aid performance]]...

** In the Music/KingGizzardAndTheLizardWizard Deep Discog Dive, while discussing the album ''Infest the Rat's Nest'', Mic plays a clip from "Mars For The Rich", and Mic responds with a line from Music/{{Queen}}'s "Bohemian Rhapsody":
