What The Heck Is AMV?
I’m the latest in a long line of bloggers for YouTube Digger. When you agree to take on this blog, there are a few things you can’t tamper with from the previous bloggers’ administrations. One of which is that you can’t get rid of any categories established — even if you have no idea what those categories are suppoed to mean.
So, I’ve going down the category list to see which ones that need a new entry and I come to AMV. I’ve been scratching my head over what the heck AMV stands for. It must be short for something and not just a word pronounced “amvuh” or somthing like that. Perhaps it’s the official sound one makes when a pill scratches your throat. “AMV!!!”
Could it mean American Mutant Virus? Acutal Mind Vacuum?
No, no — that doesn’t seem right. How about Adventurous Muffin Vittles? Or Adult Muffin Victory? Apple Muffin Va-Va-Voom?
Eventually
I guess I’m just going to have to break down and actually Google AMV (but where’s the fun in that?)
Ah, I see it that AMV actually stands for Animae Music Video.
Okay, now I have to Google what the heck that means. Animae, of course, is an incredibly distictive style of drawing that makes everyone look like a puppy in the rain. It used to be called “Japamation” until someone complained. It was first popularized with Speed Racer and has now become a cult in it’s own right. And people make music videos to them, whether the song has anything to do with the animation or not. Brace yourself:
