YouTube account problems?

Question

I've been wanting to make a gaming youtube channel for a long time now, and I finally got all my needed equipment and went to go make a channel. It asked if I wanted to use my real name or buisness name, so I clicked buisness, and put in my username. And then I see it makes me use 2 accounts? One has my email, and then there is one that is controlled by a google+ account. Literally, what the hell? I just want one account with no google+! How can I disconnect google+ and just have one account instead of these 2 stupid accounts?

But also heres the other thing, I dont want to delete the account with my wanted username because then it wont be availablefor use again, as I read.

Of course you can unlink your YouTube channel from that dreadful Google+.
The way I understand it, you'd be unlinking from Google+ (not Google itself):

1 -- Click your avatar at the top-right of the screem
2 -- Click "YouTube settings"
3 -- Click the 3rd line beside your avatar:
     "Return name to [your Youtube name], and disconnect Google+ profile"
4 -- After doing so, the last line will read
     "Your Google+ profile will be disconnected from your YouTube channel"
5 -- Click "OK"
6 -- You will then get the green message "Your channel name is now [your 
     YouTube name],  and is no longer connected with your Google+ profile"

:-)
