| AMVs died with AMV Hell as far as I'm concerned. |
 |
| pretty sure it's dying because copyright claims are more frequent (because fair use doesn't exist anymore apparently) |
  HYPED for Monster Hunter Rise! (wish March 26th would come sooner) --------------------------------------------------------------- I regret to inform you I'm actually terrible at monster hunter lmao |
| amvs are really popular still on apps like instagram, theyre just normally called edits though. |
| i hope they die out. most of them are cringe af and use the same shitty/outdated rock songs. out of all the amvs I've seen, only like 3 at best I can consider good. |
Seijatachiiii said: amvs are really popular still on apps like instagram, theyre just normally called edits though. They aren't really amvs since amvs are much longer and edits uses more transitions and bounces whilst amv doesn't focus on those. I agree that edits are popular. |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police ๐ซ |
| I started making one this week as a joke for the first time in my life, so it's not dead in my heart at least. hell_jpeg said: pretty sure it's dying because copyright claims are more frequent (because fair use doesn't exist anymore apparently) This is probably the main reason as to why they're dying out. Although I never really enjoyed amvs myself, there's definitely people out there who do enjoy watching/making them and it's kinda sad that most people can't really post them due to copyright. Also even though "edits" are more popular these days, conventions were still running AMV competitions last year, so I guess that's still a relevant part of the culture? |

| With youtube being so anal about the slightest use of copyrighted material they may be a dying art. At least, til we find somewhere better than youtube to share our vids |
 |
| I know for a while all the AMV makers moved to vine, but now that it's dead I'm not sure where they are. |

| It's not dead but it isn't what it used to be anymore. I was apart of the community during it's prime years you could say (2006-2010). All the changes with Youtube really killed the community. The removal of community groups, removal of video responses, Anal copyright rules being introduced and the algorithm changes made it hard to find any AMV's of quality since they were buried underneath all of the trash tier ones. I don't know much about the community anymore due to being detached from it since 2013, but from what I can see editing communities exist through discord servers and the O.G Animemusicvideo site which is still around and active. As to where they post videos now days outside of uploading it to AMV.org I couldn't tell you. |

  |
| yes it is, very sad I just don't see them as much as I used to. Edit are the new thing yet I love both but both are different |
 |
| Some of my favorite editors are still around and thriving so no I don't think it's dying. A good starting point could be all it takes, like contest submissions. |

The rest of the creators who actually put effort in will be engulfed by shitty AMV's making it harder to find them Which is why the community groups and bulletin boards were a must cause it helped the people who couldn't float to the top get some kind of exposure, except it's much worse now. There's literally is no point in editing AMV's anymore cause you're not gonna get views anyway. Which is why a lot of people also quit as well. On top of videos getting region blocked due to copyright claims |

| If you looking for more naruto v sasuke Linkin Park with a unregistered hypercam 2 watermark type AMV's then yes that culture is long gone. Though AMV culture is not gone, it evolved I would say. The emergence of Lofi/ future funk type stuff revitalized and moved the culture in a different way. I could name so many artists who might not be popular, but continuing the "craft". Also, I would like to point out the popularity and growing interest in these KPOP/character fancams I see all over twitter. Very AMV-esque, even it AMV's die they'll still live on through those for sure. I'm not sure about the copyright argument people are making. I don't think anyone is or trying to make a living off of making these edits. People do it for fun and to try and get a modest following. Hmm off the top of my head I could think of DEBOIN, Sunset Boy, King, Anime Vibe, Darusuke on YT. (I don't even like most of them put they are pretty popular). You gotta muck through more trash on insta and r/amv but I assure you they have good edits too. |

| yeah they kinda did die a while back now that I think about it |
 |
| Makes me wonder what those 'edits' people mention here look like as i do not use any of "social media" platforms. I also don't quite get the argument about the Youtube algorithm. Back when i was into AMVs they were shared akin to "word of mouth" via reposts on various anime-themed websites and forums and by sending videos to each other's cell phones via bluetooth but i guess that was before the internet became as consolidated as it is nowadays. |
| AnimeThemes.moe <- the largest collection of anime Openings & Endings on the Web AnimeMusicQuiz.com <- guess an anime from your list by it's Opening/Ending music browser game |
| I've never been a fan of AMVs, but I still see a handful roaming around pretty often on social media that isn't YouTube. |
 |
| Most AMVs are abhorrent, only decent ones are usually made from the anime's OST. This example below is a great example of a classic show ruined by fruity-ass music. It's the AMV equivalent of putting 20 inch chrome rims on a Chevy Laguna. Here is a decent example using the OP. |

| I actually plan on making one sometime in the future, but yeah the copyright system is increasingly demotivating. |
| I wouldnt say its dead but it has changed, like people have been making alot of AMV's for tiktok now |
| Well im not much into AMVs but there's this channel on YouTube that uploads some sick AMVs and i really enjoy them and the majority of the songs that are used are great (obviously to my liking). The channle uploads videos daily and sometimes even 2 videos per day if im not mistakin, and its also a good form to get into watching new anime. the channel is tilted: Scroll https://www.youtube.com/c/scroll%E5%BF%8D/featured Another good channel to visit for AMVs is called: TRASH https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkQ62tvPlVVb2WLppjRfPdQ |

| Not dead but AMV’s have significantly declined in participation in the last half a decade or so. |
 |
| AMVs don't have that homemade feel anymore, but maybe that's my nostalgic self talking |
 |
| No, you're just not looking hard enough for new ones. |

| I don't think they'll ever stop being made, but there have definitely been less overall on YouTube because of copyright. |
| AMVs are absolutely still a thing. Some do them just for fun but there is also a lot of competitions a lot of people take part in. For competitions, for obvious reasons, this was a little bit more quiet year, because people didn't feel as motivated to make videos for online competitions, but just in my country, in normal years there is like 10(I'm not exactly sure about this number, but around) different AMV competitions, with really high amount of effort put in every video and each having over 50 videos taking part (from which like 20-30 get in finals) (That is aroun 500 videos only from my country, only for competition reasons! of course some send the same video to multiple competitions, but a lot of them are new ones). There is also global competitions which are much bigger, but I am not too familiar with them. Shortly: At least in the AMV community I'm part of there's all the time a lot of new people coming. |

| I hope not. There are some amazing Synthwave AMVs, like this Ninja Scroll one. I pulled it off this channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/The80sGuy It has good AMVs |
 |
| Hopefully they completely die out. Low quality SHIT content doesn't deserve to exist on YouTube. |
| It is not dying. There are lots of AMVs at sites like BiliBili and like. You can find some of these videos at Reddit too. Youtube is just killing western audience with their copyrightshit which is really shame. Someone should invent Youtube again, who wouldn't give shit about copyright holders. Anyway, this is really hilarious AMV: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1gK411s7ad Also can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/it57wy/a_cheaky_amv_with_some_slaps/ |

| Sometimes I watch AMVs, some are really really nice. It seems that someone "copied" my forum signature... |

They were originally made by creators from Bilibili and he/she has reuploaded them onto YouTube it seems. It's probably why their channel got taken down. Quite sad for me too since I was a big Neptune fan as well.  |
