JBL's Marketing Blunder..

This is such a bizarre JBL promo video portraying young women as ditzy airheads...certainly not the way to reach younger blood and expand the customer base.

JBL GOES MODERN!

Here's a retort from the Audioholics channel

JBL Ad portrays Gen Z women as Idiots?!

I suppose JBL will try and do just fine by selling the same things over and over to a shrinking aged male customer base. Good luck JBL!

A grass roots effort is perhaps needed to help depopularize the vocal fry phenomenon...

I didn't find anything 'airheady' about the ad. Just because somebody is not an audiophile does not make them an 'airhead' or 'clueless' - the ad is not aimed at audiophiles! 

And while I enjoy Audioholics and his channel, I don't always agree with him, and I sure don't agree with his premise here.

YouTuber’s are having a tough time finding meaningful content. Trying to create controversy when none is present.  

That's the "audiophile" Youtuber protocol. Drama! Excitement! Exclusive revelations! Almost all of the Youtubers can be safely ignored.

Vocal fry is not really the thing I thought it was. very widespread, cross cultural.  https://youtu.be/Q0yL2GezneU?si=2g-F1tmxpYb2O_Co
