I watch fanvids for a lot more fandoms than I read fanfic for, and one of the things I like to do is compare how vidders from different fandoms use the same song. Sometimes it's quite similar; other times amazingly different. See the two Umbrella vids below for an especially diametrically opposite approach!

I thought it might be fun to make a little list of vids I know from different fandoms that are set to the same song. This is by no means a complete list of vids for each song, let alone of songs that have vids from multiple fandoms! However, these are all vids I enjoyed enough to rec, and some are recent or even all-time favorites. It's going to be heavy on Cdrama fandoms since they're what I'm watching the most right now.

⚠ vids may contain spoilers, canon-typical violence and blood, major character death, and other content warnings, as well as potential visual triggers such as rapid or stutter cuts and flashing lights. If you're familiar with the canon, you'll have a pretty good idea of potential warnings, and if you want to watch fandom-blind, feel free to ask and I can provide specifics.

I'm a little bit sad that I haven't found more fanvids for Nirvana in Fire, because it's such an emotionally intense story and also visually beautiful, so you'd think it would be prime material for vids. Here are some of the ones I have found and loved for it.

ETA: About a month after I wrote this post lamenting the lack of NiF vids, VidUKon 2021 had seven great new ones premiere - check them out here!

Since then, I've also added 5 additional vid recs to this post.

⚠ vids may contain spoilers, canon-typical violence, suicide, and other heavy themes
