But who would've thought 100 years ago frenetically strumming different high-pitched strings would be considered so cool?

I should've explained myself better (My one-liners always sucked).

does this include pickup lines?

Sadly, yeah. Even more reason to refrain

To get this thread slightly back on track, I have this memory of reading pre-2001 on an editor site about his excel saga video set to pinky and the brain getting shown on some TV station in France (I know I know not news). Wayback machine only goes to his 2001 site redesign though, so I can't solidify my claim.

Here's the video:

If you follow the indirect you'll eventually find a link to a youtube version.

Ok, so when did "ripped" and "remixed" become such esoteric terms that they require quote marks?

I must say, the author started in about the .ORG and I was like, SSSSHHHHHH!!! DAMNIT, SHUT UP!!

Oh, and I am a geek. I don't look like one (folks are always shocked to their shoes when they find out my dirty little secret), but I am. I was a geek before AMVs or anime ever entered my life, and I will be after they leave it, so that's that. This hobby certainly exacerbates the geekiness, but it's not yet leaving a physical stamp of geekiness on me. Unless the wrist brace I wear while mousing counts. hrm...

For comparison purposes (ie: it's semi-off-topic, but more on-topic than some of these replies), here's a recent New York Magazine article interviewing vidder Luminosity:

I'd become evil if the law took my money or put me in jail over this hobby. I've spent more money on movs and music because of this hobby.

why are we in the news so little i wonder

we are everywhere same with live action mvs. no one cares

well if Something you do is geeky then you are geeky. That's all there is to it. If you can't accept that and keep your pride in tact, then you have problems.

This of course doesn't mean you are like.. this huge geek without a life or something, but when you get this defensive.. one has to wonder :O

actually in my case the geek starts at one. If it wasn't for amvs I'd be on the computer doing other 'geeky' things like fantasy football or MMORPGs, so the fact that I am a geek has no relevance on amvs. o.0
