Amv?
Anime music video
This is one of my constant frustrations on Lemmy too. People constantly dropping abbreviations with no explanation, assuming their cultural background is universal.
Sometimes this is totally fair, but I think any abbreviation that instantly comes up on google is fair game. IIRC, TIL, AMV, BRB, IRL, IKR, etc.
All of those but AMV are really common. Amv is not. IKR might not be that common but I knew it. In any case, all of those are sentence abbreviation but amv is a noun, its different.
My point wasn’t about how common they were, it was about how easy it is to find out what they mean. I don’t think it matters whether we’re shortening a common phrase or a noun, any search engine will tell you that AMV stands for anime (or animated) music video. Contrast that with something like MIL, which you can’t easily search up (it usually stands for mother-in-law)
It is wild that this post about a harmless abbreviation that refers to cringey (but endearing to me) narrow slice of early-mid 2000s internet culture got this reaction out of you. Something that could be ignored or looked up.
Be it Lemmy or the communities you stumble upon, but perhaps some introspection about how you respond and interact with the internet could use a revisit.
Ok armchair psych, take a chill pill

I’m sorry, but this is a skill issue.
AMV has been around for years now. Plus, this was likely posted to a community that knows what an amv is and never intended for here
Bruh who the hell does not know amv come on man
I mean, my initial introduction to Nightwish was the Wishmaster Misheard Lyrics video. And for a while I always looked for that video to hear that song. Not too weird to do it like that.
Same scenario for me, but for Six by All That Remains. The misheard lyrics were better than the real lyrics.
That’s a mood, yeah.
