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.
Fucks a cfol. You just pulled that out your ass didn't you
Definitely a ptoya post
Yeah, it's like these foreign language posts. Don't they know not everyone speaks German?
Ssh don't say that or all the Americans will rush in shouting "You're welcome"
YOU'RE WELCOME!
I don't know what came over me, but I hope you feel grateful.
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
The guy who posted it here should have expanded the initialism
While years is technically correct, we're at the "decades" mark on amvs
I don't know if I've ever heard the initialism AMV or not (though I've watched plenty of them), but even not knowing what it was it was pretty easy to figure out from context (though i thought "animated" instead of "anime", but close enough anyway)
Some acronyms and initialisms, I don't really get why they're so hard for people, especially in context
They're not, people just like to complain and have things handed to them. In that order.
Yeah, I can remember them from the early YouTube days, but I wasn't 100% certain if it had been decades yet >!and I didn't want to think about how old I'm getting!<
If it makes you feel better, the oldest AMV is from over 40 years ago
If you're older than that... Sorry

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.
plugs "what is AMV" into DDG
Answer received after 4 seconds of reading
I'm sorry, but this is a skill issue.
Now I'm embarrassed. Did you plug "what is AMV" into a rapper from Michigan, or a guided missile?
If this isn't a lesson in situational irony, I don't know what is!
I'm using DDG to mean duckduckgo. Google would've made more sense, but I do not like google. Sorry for the confusion!
Ah, makes sense why google didn't want to tell me what it stands for lmao

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.

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
Koopiskeva, "Euphoria": god-tier AMV
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!
Downfall by trust company on an amv someone made of FF8
It really does! It's not even the same if it's on a different website!
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 😅
The Ed Edd n' Eddy Reel Big Fish amv got me into ska
Holy fucking shit I found it
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.
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"
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
Yes. Pokemon - Bitches (Mindless Self Indulgence) is the only way I can listen to it. https://vimeo.com/120635260
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.
Till's proper anime-girl-sona is Mariemaia Khushrenada.
I once waited nearly half an hour for that video to load as a Quicktime file over AOL dial-up.
Sometimes monaural is ok
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
I must've watched Galaxy Bounce dozens of times. Never occurred to me to look up the song (Andy Hunter - Lifelight).
