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

It's obvious that fans only seem to hear "CUT" and "LAST RESORT". The leads me to wonder than in fact about %90 (if even more?) of all people dont really even pay attention to what they payed to listen to! @_@

Heh.. Im guessing Im the cause of that piece of crap. There really wasnt a reason behind it... it was just back when I downloaded clips and I heard "cut", and just happened to be downloading clips of Trunks Vs Freeza where he uses his sword. Kinda went from there.. @_@

Though the more surprising thing is this.. while I despise that video and wish it to hell, alot of people love it. I cant understand why, but people seem to think its a decent video. Therein lies another problem... not only is the creator stupid for making it, but you have to wonder about the people who actually enjoy it.
I think they both have the same mentality. "Cool + cool = uber cool". My experience with showing videos to friends at school is that they always comment on the clips used. They're more or less like.. "wow, that was a cool scene from movie 13... this video is great", and they ignore any sort of relation between audio and video. They just want cool clips and a popular song.. and theyre happy.

Blah

Alright I'll add in my two cents:

First off, I have SWORN to NEVER make a Dragonball - Z + Linkin Park AMV. Why? Because the ones that I HAVE seen just plain S-U-C-K compared to other AMV's that are out there. 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. (Although my GF wouldn't mind seein' me make one, as she likes both DBZ and LP. (In fact, DBZ is all that she ever gets where she lives. -_-)).

I already know I'm a total newbie to AMV making, but my first AMV was NOT a DBZ + LP AMV!!! It was a Darkstalker + Rob Zombie - Living Dead Girl (Remix)!!! So not ALL newbie's make DBZ + LP AMV's on their first time!!! That was so stereotypical there and completely wrong!

I personally believe that people make the DBZ + LP AMV's is because of these reasons:

That's all they are able to get.
That's all they know.
They have no taste & think that DBZ & LP are the only real way for AMV's.
They have no creative energy and want to copy something that they've already seen.

And to me, only the first point up in that list is forgivable. Other than that... I personally think that they need to get slapped up across the head and let them be known that there is WAY more better anime's out there!!

Oh... and if I have offended any fan-boys... GOOD!!

This isn't only true to DBZ videos

Linkin Park are very popular so of course many people hear their music. Some not even really knowing much about AMVs yet do not have to be Dragonball Z fans because Linkin Park's lyrics are very simple and easy for newbies to work with. Linkin Park have many chords and beats in their songs as well leaving it open for experimentation. But it is mainly because their lyrics are so simple they can match almost any anime. Most newbies just have access to DBZ or do not know any other real animes during this particular point of entering the anime world, and that's why this occurs so often.

I myself am a huge Linkin Park fan but if I ever make a video to them I will kick myself in the balls.............. really hard. >.<

My musical tastes are very diverse, I don't only like rock, I like Great big Sea too. ^^

Make fun of me!

Personally I am a Bush, SOAD, and Rob Zombie fan...

There is only 1 song of Linkin Park that I LIKE and I've already done my 2nd AMV to it (used SFA to it, NOT DBZ.).

*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*

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
