it tastes better when you cut it into triangles and it sounds better as an AMV

Amv?

Anime music video
This is one of my constant frustrations on Lemmy too. People constantly dropping abbreviations with no explanation, assuming their cultural background is universal.
- Yeah it's a CFoL for me too.
- Yeah, it's like these foreign language posts. Don't they know not everyone speaks German?
- AMV has been around for years now. Plus, this was likely posted to a community that knows what an amv is and never intended for here
- It is wild that this post about a harmless abbreviation that refers to cringey (but endearing to me) narrow slice of early-mid 2000s internet culture got this reaction out of you. Something that could be ignored or looked up.
  Be it Lemmy or the communities you stumble upon, but perhaps some introspection about how you respond and interact with the internet could use a revisit.
- Not cromulent enough.
- Sometimes this is totally fair, but I think any abbreviation that instantly comes up on google is fair game. IIRC, TIL, AMV, BRB, IRL, IKR, etc.
- plugs "what is AMV" into DDG

  I'm sorry, but this is a skill issue.
- Bruh who the hell does not know amv come on man

Craaaaawling iiiin my skiiiin~~

It just isn't the same without videos of Sasuke with a black and white filter and all of the film grain

All the Linkin Park

Frou Frou "Must be Dreaming": mid-level song

RahXephon: mid-level anime

I mean, my initial introduction to Nightwish was the Wishmaster Misheard Lyrics video. And for a while I always looked for that video to hear that song. Not too weird to do it like that.

I fully believe there shall come a day when fewer people alive know what Coldplay is than remember the lyrics to Fallen Kingdom.
Same scenario for me, but for Six by All That Remains. The misheard lyrics were better than the real lyrics.
- That's a mood, yeah.
  Master!
  A dentist!
  Hard porn!
  Steven seagull!

It really does! It's not even the same if it's on a different website!

Downfall by trust company on an amv someone made of FF8

This is how I remember amv's - https://youtu.be/Ce9nusNhj_E?si=2tKUTVh2mNCmJbmv

In hindsight it's not that special but I use to watch this vid on my incredibly small screen MP4 player religiously throughout high school 😅

This is still true. The only way I ever listen to in the end is the half life animation.

That and the slow version from the MtG promo video for the ~~nicol bolas fight in ravnica~~ war of the spark.

Yes. Pokemon - Bitches (Mindless Self Indulgence) is the only way I can listen to it. https://vimeo.com/120635260

The Ed Edd n' Eddy Reel Big Fish amv got me into ska

Holy fucking shit I found it

Big flashing lights warning

AND POOL PARTY

Since this is now a "share your favorite AMV" thread, my humble contribution: Hold Me Now set to Princess Tutu: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9197GTl1ASg

And then there's me who still wonders why nobody ever did a Dragonball AMV for Rainbow's Power or The Kinks' Powerman.

Wanted to make some myself but I could never find the time or the ~~energy~~ power.

Or the Dragonball AMV for "Triangle Man"

Dood, the NGE version of Chemicals Between Us was fire. I'll fight someone over that.

I preferred Breathe for NGE (here's a remastered version)
Chemicals Between Us I discovered for Vision of Escaflowne
- Asuka will forever be the frontman of Rammstein for me.

Sometimes monaural is ok

I must've watched Galaxy Bounce dozens of times. Never occurred to me to look up the song (Andy Hunter - Lifelight).

Damn, this brought up some memories.

I can't believe my GOTO amv jam is still on youtube! https://youtube.com/watch?v=z9XkY84MUls&t=0&feature=youtu.be
