Within clubbing, rave, and other party cultures, 'Visuals' are a form of visual performance art. Most often these artists are called VJs. (Short for video jockeys) Often relying on computer generated, or procedural artworks, but they are not limited to this, as many artists incorporate other things like film, photography, video feedback, and illustrated animations.
Most often these 'visuals' are projected behind a DJ or band during musical performances to augment the experience. Although they are commonly set up to work on club monitors.
This is most often distinct from intelligent lighting, or laser light shows, although some artists might also incorporate this into their style.
Sometimes these visuals are pre-rendered or prepared in other ways before the event, other times music responsive programs are used that respond to the audio happening live. Other times the VJ might change elements of the visuals in other ways to line up with the musical performance.

A Japanese novel read as an game-like application on a computer. A term to distinguish itself from a "Game" because there is usually no gameplay involved, and the only interaction that the player can make with the game is making certain choices at specific points in the game that decides which branch of the storyline that the player will take.
Also distinguishes itself from an "eroge" or "hentai game" in that sex is usually the main appeal of a hentai game, but plot and story is the main appeal of a visual novel.
Anime-styled drawing most of the time. Some may contain sex scenes, and some are emotionally charged stories targeted at older audiences with a lot of plot and depth. The pros are that it usually comes with pictures, sounds effects, music and voices which gives one a richer experience than reading a plain novel. The cons are that it requires a lot of clicking of the mouse to scroll through the novel text.

A typical school extra-curricular club that in the 60s - early 90s used to be very nerdy and uncool. Now, AV has become very advanced, you get to learn about the recording industry, getting students ready usually to get a good college for audio recording. Jobs include running live sound for concerts and plays, and lighting design. Can be a very rewarding experience. WARNING: May lead to catching the audiophile fever.
