    Hating a band because it's a "popular" thing to do is also a thing, and happen across almost every fan base. Like back when almost everyone hate Justin Bieber for being Bieber, or Nickelback regardless if they hear a song before or not.

     

    Even if a hated band sounds nice they will still find something wrong with it. But like said above music is highly subjective and not everyone has the same taste and everyone is entitled to an opinion.

    i'm happy someone mentions roar here~~

    i lived in korea before and went to their shows often and met them often after the show (but we communicate in broken japanese because my korean is not much at all) and they are super nice and their show is really fun. they usually play j-rock cover songs as well as their own songs.

    I have  saw them perform at GJ World Music Festival. Interested me enough to buy their first mini which isn't half bad. curious as to what comes next for them.

    Maybe so in part.  Same thing in what has happening with many music genre, it has become over saturated/unoriginal in sound and looks.Too many are adopting looks and sound that made other bands successful, hoping the same for themselves.  

    Not to say that there are not bands worth a listen,but just having to do a bit more digging to find them.

    Also, to me, seems more bands worry more about global exposures and becoming famous than actual perfection of their sound/style.

    Groups like that seem to have less passion.

     

    But, keeping in mind that many bands of vk (especially beginning) are self produced and not usually have much money, so both cd  sale and ticket sale are going to make a big difference compare to a band of a larger promoter/production group. So yes, money is a factor many times.  They do have to pay for studio times, production costs, rentals, etc.

    The music industry is risky business in general, so going into a genre of a smaller following is a little more riskier.

     

    Probably won't see many bands that last as long as Buck-Tick, D'ERLANGER, X-Japan, Luna Sea or other 90s bands, but they are the ones who popularized the genre and influenced the newer bands...

     

    Any case only my opinion. Sorry if it is confusing.

    heyy, welcome to the forum!

    and cool music tastes~ i like all japanese bands you listed except i'm not familiar with yura yura teikoku. :)

    Thank you very much!

     

    Yura Yura Teikoku was a psych(?) band, some people find them addicting, other not much.  If you wanting to try them out

    i recommend albums 3x3x3, Sweet Spot, or Hollow me/Beautiful.

    Hello

     

    Lurker for about 1 week deciding time to say hi!

    i am not good at intro so this will be quickly!

     

    I am 20 year old and currently I am a student with a pediatric caare center. Always looking

    for new music on my free time.

     

    My likeness in music does not lie with one specific genre/country. 

     

    Chinese: Forest/Carsick Cars/Aristophanes/Morning Call/Shin/etc.

     

    Japan: Yura Yura Teikoku/Plastic Tree/The Novembers/Dadaroma/The Dresscode/ etc.

     

    Korea: Nell/Norwegian Wood/Louie/OOHYO/A-Fati etc.

     

     

     

    I look forward to getting to know many and maybe contributing from my own collection something different!
