YTPMV's

YTPMV

YTPMV, the acronym for YouTube Poop Music Video, is a musical YouTube Poop, similar to a MAD video. Like a YouTube Poop, they feature various clips from tv shows, movies, commercials, and other video sources, but the clips are sequenced to fit to a beat. Often, they are set to the tune of a song from a video game soundtrack or keygen music. Other times, original compositions are created.

The Urban Dictionary defines YTPMV as:^[1]

a music video featuring various clips from tv shows, movies, commercials, etc. repeated or sped up/slowed down to fit to a beat, usually techno.
