Overused ideas

I don't usually use songs that I personally like. If the song goes well for the amv, then I make the video. After the video is done, and if it's done well, then I like it. I tried it out a few times with the songs that I liked, I kept getting things in the areas of it looking like I feel and not how it should. Too much emotion in an AMV can make it very unnatural looking to other people. So song selection is prime. You have to choose a song you can effectively use. It must be a song for the effect you want to achieve. Any way of locating these songs is plausible. So I disagree you have to have a wide taste in music, you just have to have an open mind.

I do believe they are refering to how the NIN music is used as a theme, not the song... NIN songs do kinda blend together after a while.

Atleast NIN is a good band...

I'd personally like more IDM videos (like Zerophite's "Come To Daddy (Bear Mix)" and "Pale Moonlight"). There aren't enough Aphex Twin, Plaid, Boards of Canada, and DJ Krush vids (in fact, there are none for some)
