I am not saying that you should use songs and groups that people never heard of. I am not saying that you shouldnt use LP. Songs like Crawling and In the End are used too often. You can all look at the Most used charts on the home page. LP And DBZ. Eventually we are going to end up with DBZ AMVs and those two LP songs everywhere on the site. Then AMVs will be lame and dull because no one will watch them anymore. Why?... because they will already know that its gonna be a DBZ video with a LP song
That's a pretty circular argument, isn't it?
You're saying you're tired of LP/DBZ AMV's (fair opinion).
So you would like to see people use new combinations.
Well, where are these new combinations supposed to come from?
I named some obscure bands previously to make a point - there has to be interest from the creator as well as the audience, and the fact is , LP has had 2 huge selling albums (3 if you count that remix one), so many people are interested in them.
Same with DBZ. Most popular anime by a wide margin.
There are other videos being made - I've seen one using Pop Will Eat Itself, several with Fear Factory, even some Skinny Puppy. But they get fewer votes, fewer opinions, fewer views.
So if you want to stop the DBZ/LP deluge, stop whining about how they're boring, start trying to point people to what you want to see, or, if you're willing, make it yourself.
There is life outside the new downloads section.
