I usually stay away from Youtube when looking up information since there is so much crap. I will admit that I will look up some stuff on Youtube but its mainly "Ok so how do I do this?" since I'm more of a visual person and need to see it done to confirm what I read. I don't really look up Pagan music since I tend to stick to what I know and know it already has some meaning to me.

Youtube isn't a great resource, simply because you have no way of knowing what or why a person's qualified to speak as an authority on the subject matter at hand, or what sources a person's drawing from for their videos.
Most Pagan vids I've seen there are useless as teaching tools or places to learn from. It's show and tell, with no obvious quality control. Youtube suffers from the same glut of misinformation and regurgitated 101-level discussions as the rest of the internet. It can be useful simply because it is a visual media - you can physically demonstrate specific movements or actions as they need to be performed, assuming those things are important and/or not oathbound. But most of what I've seen is just people sitting talking.
As entertainment, sure. People's opinions can be highly entertaining. But there's not much in the way of factual accuracy.
Specifically for Wicca, it's not a source at all. Nothing there will be Wicca proper - it's just more of the usual mislabeled Neo-Pagan witchcraft that's all over the place.
Do I think someday these sorts of things might become useful? Sure - if you can get it into an instructional video format, with some physical source materials to back it up, and it's ok for your path to teach in that manner. But I'm pretty firm in my belief that things of this nature are better taught face-to face in meatspace, and not long-distance through social media.

I can remember only one Pagan I liked on youtube - no idea what their name was any more. All they did anyway was rant about how Wicca wasn't what everyone else thought it was. (Hence why I liked him.)

I don't youtube much, but whenever people have been like "Riri! You got to see this!" I've never been impressed. cat_sweatdrop
Either it's so basic it's hard to avoid if you're online at all, or it's so misinformed it's a waste of time. Maybe there's some good stuff out there- but most of my pagan-youtube value has been from learning how to do handcrafts.

What exactly, is "pagan music"? I've never been able to reason that.

Depends. I've come across music from bands that are very definitely pagan themselves, as well as some that are smart enough to cater to an audience (like TYR) that they notice taking an interest, and some that just seems to be very popular with pagans in general.
