The thread title would of been a more interesting topic IMO...
I don't think editing has any effect on anything like this. It has more to do with personality.

I know I need to just get over it already but I'm continually let down at the lack of variety and surprises in the kind of music that I find both here and on the 'tube. I don't get the sense -- at least not as often as I'd like to -- that the editor is "feeling" the music or has chosen it for any reason other than a surface-level thematic connection to the video source. That's not to say that I haven't enjoyed videos employing traditional or mainstream rock and pop songs: I'm still surprised at how some truly gifted editors here are able to breathe new life into music that I otherwise would never have given the time of day to on its own. Maybe a lot of AMV makers have an honest and deep appreciation of music but I haven't seen a lot of evidence that most have any kind of superior sense of rhythm, at least no more than the average person. I'd love to be proved wrong, though.

I wanted to make this topic since last year, when I was with some AMV-editors in Chicago at a concert.

You've never seen me dance or you wouldn't ask this question.
