fall under romance or drama or serious, pretty decently.

Except something can be sentimental without being dramatic, serious or romantic. Sentimental just means that it incites an emotion positive or *negative*. That's something people are somewhat missing.

Perhaps it's a broad category, but at the same time, we as viewers and creators certainly classify things as such.

An Instrumental amv catagory wouldnt make much sence as its just a way of describing music. However what would be good is a set of music catagories which people can search by.

While it doesn't describe the content of the source video used it does describe the music video as a whole.

Yet it was a category in last year's VCAs (along with sentimental). If we're going to include in the contest that the site runs, I think the site should have a category for it.
