What you have to remember is that you don't get to see the majority of MADs posted on japanese sites,only the best get chosen and reposted on english speaking websites.

Any video with music is a "music video". If you include "anime", then it is an "anime music video". If you compare some of the best AMVs vs the best MADs, you don't really see much of a difference. Hell, you can throw in a MAD into an AMV contest, and it'll be the best video that wins.

Any person in this world with audio and video editing capability can take any music with any video and make some kind of music video. And it doesn't matter where this person is from.

For both AMVs and MADs, I apply the 95% rule -- where 95% of them suck. (And I'm being generous by not pushing to 99%).
This is pretty much my thoughts too
