Vid V. Clip V. Promo
Is anyone else bothered by music videos being called "clips" and "promos"?
Doesn't a "clip" connote that something is a truncated excerpt from a larger work?
And isn't a "promo" nothing more than an ad? I think we can safely say that most of us agree that a video is more than that.
Not sure why this bugs me, but it does.
