The Sonic Fanbase Doesn't Understand Music (Debunking Sonic Music Misconceptions)

For an extensive period of time, I've seen misinformation about Sonic music invade the community, basically turning every in-depth conversation about music into a case study of a lack of media literacy skills in communities. Because of this, along with some encouragement from some game development and composer friends, I've decided to make a quick video getting rid of the most egregious ones, so hopefully I can stop seeing these in every discussion thread.

Small correction: The Genesis uses the Texas Instruments SN76489 to play its PSG tones.
