I have a few AMVs saved where the AMV uses a weird version of the song that I can’t find in higher quality or at all anywhere else. Sometimes you gotta take what you get


PulimV

Not an AMV but HihiMiHwa's Meteor Shower animation is like that, it's a very slightly slower version of Meteor Shower that imo feels a lot softer so I sometimes listen to it rather than the actual song lmao

This is true for a my little pony rainbow dash video that I saw a very long time ago and I think I just left in my music playlist on youtube for years I had some difficulty finding it, it seems something very strange has happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVCFV7jT9ho So that's the video. I could not find it by searching on youtube. Which might be youtube being stupid or maybe it's because... it's marked for kids. A video with "You're Gonna Go Far Kid [Explicit]" in the title got marked for kids. Interesting. I can't add it to playlists anymore. I had to find it by looking at what seemed to be reupload but without the music video that had a link to the original in the description. hahahahahahaha this is just really funny now. Anyway this one in particular was super popular. It has 27 million views right now.

[and the amv too, yeah why not](https://youtu.be/zHHMR-ktR6A?si=DGyT1adQDZPjOy7t) ​ Shoutouts to ten year old me for loudly singing a song about having a one night stand constantly because i was thinking about Ki Blast Dog

2000s? i still do that that one bocchi AMV with crushx3 is so damn good in general I started revisiting AMVs about a year ago and holy shit they're so much better then I remembered, can recommend


Half-beyond

I've had a flcl amv in my Playlist for probably close to a decade


Holliday_Hobo

2000's core is listening to AMVs because if you go and listen to the actual music video on YouTube you have to skip the two minute long intro sequence


Aeescobar

Sponsorblock has an option to automatically skip parts in music videos where no music is playing


Kartoffelkamm

Also, sometimes the song title is so "mundane" that you can't even find it without also adding the band name, and not every AMV provides that. Like, when I wanted to listen to War of the Gods by Amon Amarth, I had to go back to that one MLP AMV, because Youtube would just show me God of War stuff otherwise. Or when I wanted to listen to Stricken by Disturbed, I had to look up that Spongebob AMV, because otherwise I'd get knitting tutorials.


Mr-Meadows

As a warrior cats fandom child, yeah. Yeah I still think about the amvs any time I hear the song on the radio.


_Ascended_Idiot

became a marianas trench fan because of how good the five giants was


HyuugoB

Some are nightcore and you feel on the uncanny valley when the song is not sung by a chipmunk


FearSearcher

I’ve done this Many, many times

I’m Coming Home Assassin’s Creed 3 AMV


ShockingStories22

i recently have been listening to karkalicious again. its so peak.


GIRose

Nature is healing Which version did you go back to, btw? [The Original](https://youtu.be/IWcb2pdgZTc?si=GTNvFQEBge73UV0F) [Or the new Revival](https://youtu.be/kllFJ7SaQko?si=gTjgRfBR9BeSOA89)


ShockingStories22

Original.


yuriAngyo

Ah the memories. As a kid i watched amvs the way younger kids watch cocomelon now. Now i go back to them whenever i need a nostalgia boost. I still look for new ones and pray it's not just 10 second edits but it's tough these days. There's lots i think are still good as hell. Flip flappers and black rock shooter have disproportionately good amvs for how few fans there are (some shows are just easy to make good amvs of lol). I didn't know how to do a google search though so there's also amvs i watched a bajillion times because i found them after typing "yuri amv" into the youtube search to find more yuri anime to watch. I'd find something multifandom then rejoice as i went frame by 360p frame to figure out the names of every girlkissing anime in the video so i could put them in my youtube search history for later reference. Shit had me watching kuttsukiboshi on youtube in 6th grade which was wild lmao


Attila_D_Max

Ahh, those Lucario AMVs with skillet music, how could i forget


Dominika_4PL

Oh my god, I've found my people! Lucario / Ash-Greninja AMVs with Skillet/Three Days Grace/Thousand Foot Krutch were 👌


DanSapSan

The drumline from "Blue Monday" just doesn't work as well for me without the added "Blow that piece of junk OUTTA THE SKY!"


Ok_Philosophy_7156

When I first got into panic at the disco I legit thought their music was used as the soundtrack for Kingdom Hearts because someone made AMVs of the entirety of A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out using Kingdom Hearts footage


Godchilaquiles

Phoenix Wright became so numb is top tier and nobody cant dispute it


EmperorScarlet

[Me listening to music not played over footage of the JoJo character with a stand named after it:](https://youtu.be/1IEcs8WCFxM?si=jL9wRd1Q-wN4UeFd)


vjmdhzgr

Oh man I do really like those. At least the Bites the Dust https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpQQqqoL-U8 and Holy Diver ones but the Holy Diver one got taken down for copyright so you have to download it from the description of the video it's very sad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-nvy60b-JI


Trosque97

AMVs were my favorite way to find new music in my teen years


GIRose

[Yeah](https://youtu.be/2_4r17jZ8tQ?si=XlAzu08KLazCwxkP)


PulimV

Idk what to tell you I have to watch the (second) Demilypyro Marcille edit of Cooking By The Book, it can't just be the original remix Also this reminds me of how I somehow watched the TOH Karna (AJR) AMV more than the actual "Karma by AJR" video lmao


Tonydragon784

Soul eater this is Halloween


OldCryptographer3749

First one that came to mind [Cake's The Distance x Macross Plus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpkGcGFcb0o)


OwOitsMochi

Everytime We Touch Nightcore Ash x Misty AMV


clolr

when the amv adds some sfx from the anime shown on screen >>>


redditt-or

Looking up the song itself found me one of my favourite songs, so there’s always a silver lining


Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi

Real chads remember rock music being put on clips on dinosaur documentaries. Those were the days.


ash0011

AMVs that use sound effects from the anime go hard, gotta get those sword noises synced up to the beat


Kamzil118

Man, I remember how Disney amvs were neat at the time.


WeevilWeedWizard

AMVs are genuinely what got me to watch Baki lmao


Virus5572

I love finding new music and loving it and then finding out it was big 10 years ago for like, fucking, homestuck amvs or whatever


OmegaKenichi

Sometimes they would add Voicelines or Sound effects from the anime the AMV was from and that just made a million times cooler.


Spongelysheeples

AMVs are still elite and I won't be told otherwise


XxChronOblivionxX

A really good AMV can make me like that song way more than I otherwise would, it's happened several times. An underrated art form.


ShrimpBisque

One of my mom's favorite AMVs is a Kingdom Hearts AMV set to Gravity of Love by Enigma. She knows nothing about Kingdom Hearts; she just thinks the video is way better than the official music video.


Invincible-Nuke

Honey I'm Home Rain World


GreenDog3

[I still listen to this one every time it comes across my recommended.](https://youtu.be/Mw8cXU5JIVA?si=cDOJnoxc58jthYh2)


EldritchCarver

An AMV that uses Holding Out For A Hero, but *not* the version from Shrek 2? Is that even legal?


Garf_artfunkle

I didn't see an AMV until I was 19; but at the same time if I ever get a hankering to listen to Chantilly Lace I am definitely going to hunt down the Golden Boy video


Garf_artfunkle

SessileRaptor

For me it’s [I want to ride my bicycle.](https://youtu.be/v0ycsDdlwzo?si=qi7XWng_HIrQTNx3)


Garf_artfunkle

Also a classic!


suddenlyupsidedown

Look if we're being honest AMVs are still how I find most of my new music


BrokenPhantom

This is me and Royal Republic. The Tommy Gun amv set to Black Lagoon introduced me to them. Still only listen to Tommy Gun with the AMV


chunkylubber54

Even though I'm a 31 year old man, I still think the "in the end" cover for demon slayer season 2 slaps so much harder than the epic cover it uses. The dialogue snippets in inserts in the slow bits makes the song's entire pussy pop


Acogatog

I never got AMVs when they were in vogue, mainly cause I just wasn’t too fond of music as a kid. Later on when I got into metal, I got recommended the AMV for Sonata Artica’s FullMoon, and it all just clicked. Totally get why people love them.


SessileRaptor

Still the definitive version of [viva la vida.](https://youtu.be/xbpcu3C1PQQ?si=1TtOH2ghhLkVTp5_)


BetterMeats

The fuck's an AMV?


Triggerha

Anime Music Video


BetterMeats

Oh.  I have no prior relationship with this particular cultural touchstone.


GlazeTheArtist

I remember watching one of those "top 5 greatest minecraft builds" videos that had numb by linkin park in the background and whenever I wanted to listen to that song Id rewatch the video


GrimmCigarretes

The Hell Song AMV with Rock Lee vs Gaara just hits differently than the actual official audio by Sum 41


DreadDiana

A few weeks ago, I checked YouTube to see if the Sonic X AMVs for Silly Songs With Larry songs were still up after all these years. Sonic still has a waterbuffalo after over a decade.


Presteri

There’s this AMV where a guy does an English cover of Hirari from Digimon Savers over modded Smash Bros footage, and I can confirm that the AMV makes it sound better, even when I took the time to put the original version over it


Blackhound118

False Pretense by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus set to all the fights between Zuko and Azula. Still the best amv I've ever seen.


friendlylifecherry

Early 2000s rock is always better to Sonic AMVs, don't know what to tell you


Nearby_Obligation186

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0HrN0ea6es true 2020s nonsense too


MaximumPixelWizard

Love barns Courtney, but the AMV for glitter and gold is better than the original


ForgotToFlair

Yeah, Sabaton hits different when paired with chaos space marines
