Fandom Fandom An anime music video (sometimes abbreviated AMV) is a music video consisting of clips from one or more anime television series or movies set to a particular song. Most are not official music videos released by the musicians, but fan compositions taking clips from various series and synchronizing them with a musical track. As such they are most commonly released over the Internet. Anime conventions often run AMV contests or AMV exhibitions.

The word fan refers to someone who has an intense, occasionally overwhelming liking of a person, group of persons, work of art, idea, or trend. The word emerged as an Americanism around 1889, a shortened version of the word fanatic in reference to an enthusiastic follower of a baseball team. ( Fanatic itself, introduced into English around 1525, means "insane person". It comes from the Modern Latin fanaticus, meaning "insanely but divinely inspired". The word originally pertained to a temple or sacred place (Latin fanum, poetic English fane). The modern sense of "extremely zealous" dates from around 1647; the use of fanatic as a noun dates from 1650.) ...more on Wikipedia about "Fan (aficionado)"
Fan art or fanart is a type of artwork that is based on a person or item that the artist did not create. The term is usually used to denote any art that has been created in this manner, although, strictly speaking, "fan art" means art derived from a visual medium, like comics, or movies, and it makes use of existing artwork - as opposed to book illustration, which uses no visual reference but the artist's imagination of characters described by an author. Thus, artwork depicting Wolverine from the X-Men (either the comic or the movie) or Orlando Bloom as Legolas would be fan art, while a picture featuring a non-movie-inspired Legolas should rather be called "book illustration". ...more on Wikipedia about "Fan art"

Fanboy or Fanboi is a term used to describe a male who is utterly devoted to a single subject or hobby, often to the point where it is considered an obsession. The term originated in comic book circles, to describe someone who was socially insecure and used comics as a shield from interaction, hence the disparaging connotations. Fanboys are often experts on minor details regarding their hobbies, and they take these details extremely seriously. The term itself is often used in a derogatory manner by less serious fans of the same material. Nevertheless, self-labeling usages of the term have been noted; in the songs of the fannish parody musician Luke Ski, many characters proudly consider themselves fanboys. The term is usually applied to people in their teens or 20s. Within this group, common subjects of reverence by fanboys are TV shows, movies, anime, cars, video game consoles, video games, operating systems, MMORPGs, and software companies. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fanboy"
