I look for weird combinations on purpose.

if the viewer understands that there was an intent for the combo to be rather that of a parody(and I don't mean that for comedy purposes) then I'm pretty sure it isn't it a problem.

Happy song happy video.

Angry song, angry video.

Happy song angry video, wtf?!!

Convoluted lyrics, random video moods, were you on drugs then?

Popular tune, crummy video content, bad syncing could you try a little harder please?

Typical tune, popular video sequences, a nauseating barrage of special effects, pat on the head, yes dear you are so clever, now run along and play.

While true, the proposed question is still relevant as, by this logic, asking "how others decide on their audio X video combination," is the same as asking how others come up with their concept.

If that's the case, I could point to several other threads that already exist on "how do you come up with your concept" without so much beating around the bush by trying to ask the same question a different way.

Now you did.
I think that's what you were trying to spell...

As I said before. Any song can be paired with any anime. That doesn't mean it'll be any good though.

The underlying story here also can be that a lot of people have preconceived notions about what kind of AMV you can make to a certain song or series. If you do something that does not conform to those notions and it makes them mad, then they believe the song x anime pairing was a failure.

If you - the editor - can't believe in your own AMV, then good luck trying to get anyone else to.

And that doesn't just mean you should believe in the song x anime pairing (Iron Editing throws that variable out the window, after all), you also should be behind the concept and execution.
