I'd like to introduce myself if I may. I am the Sage, you may call me the Rebel as that is another of my alias'. You'll notice that while I've been a member of this site for a good year and a half, I haven't contributed much to the world of AMVs, from input to my own videos. I took a bit of a break and learned a few things, though I doubt that I could be able to "hang" with some of the more experienced folk.
Anyway, that intro aside, I'd like to open this little discussion to a particular niche in the land of AMVs that seems to be used mostly for "joke" AMVs: the one's that include Rap music as the backdrop.
My question is this: why are Rap AMVs frowned upon so much? As a person who frequently uses Rap music for his videos in general, I can understand how difficult it can be to find good - or even adequate - songs for various anime without it seeming like you just slapped a random song to an even more random scene from a further random anime. But still the question remains: why is the average "AMV watcher" so quick to look down upon Rap AMVs for no reason other than the music being a Rap song? Never mind the editing involved or the song or the lyrics, good or bad; the song is a Rap song, and so it's automatically disliked by many. And so I would simply like to know why. I can't understand this logic for the life of me.
