Why is it that DBZ+Linkin Park is so widely used? (serious)

*Bah, my first AMV ever was made with Sonic Anime Webclips and Japanese Comercials* -_-

BTW, none of the 5 "Last Resort" vids that I downloaded were made by you NeoGohan. *L*

"Snow Covered Dreams"

It's Linkin' Park's song, "My December" to the Rurouni Kenshin OAVs...

GET IT!

I'm posting this since it's linkin' park based.

The one I can think of is the Trigun "In the End" video from last year's Otakon. That one was very nice, and kinda got me misty eyed.

I dunno what other LP videos have won at cons...

To each his own, if that's what people want to see, oh well :?

I guess the new generation of fans got messed up from watching those od awful dubs and whatnot, or that most people are stupid, take your pick

[quote="OrionPro001"]...Also, and I really hate to say it, but it is a "mainstream" in the AMV community, and I don't like to associate with mainstream.... quote]

Isn't it ironic that rebellion has become so popular?

But isn't it? There are two types of poseurs in the world. There's the kind that likes something because it is popular and everyone else (or at least the vast majority) likes them. Then there's the kind that doesn't like something merely because everyone else seems to like them. If you like (or dislike) something, please do so because you personally do (or do not) like them. Basing your opinions merely on the influence of others is what being a poseur is all about.

As for Linkin Park and Dragonball Z, it just so happens that they are 2 very popular things at the moment. Thus, it's not hard to make an LP + DBZ connection in AMVs. There are quite a few LP videos to other shows and plenty of DBZ videos to other groups too. Give it some time and I'm sure the popularity of both will fade (although I'm betting DBZ will outlast LP by a good long while).
