Was there anything incorrect in my statement? If so, I'll correct it within reason

They truly are. You know how much I love Kuroyuri, and Dezert has become my new obsession because they're so good! Especially their bassist. Good bass players are rare in Vkei. Chiaki is also an amazing vocalist. I love how feminine the vocals are

I mean, most pop music is boring anyway, since that's only what the labels will throw money at because it's less risky in the long run, but I had no idea honestly it'd get this low xD. Part of me feels elitist, but at least I'm not like other people and I acknowledge it's valid music. May be ear raping music, but still music. (It's kind of like with all the art that's being made these days. I may not like it, but I'll defend it's status as art because, art can be found in anything and there is always some loophole xD.) Plus, the general public (Especially in my ultra religious area) would call my music "sinful", so I guess on both sides, me and the general public are even xD

Does anyone often find genres that they love, but actually can't stand most of the bands of? I feel that often with Nu Metal. Like, I love the sound, but most of the bands that play it are just crappy. Like, only in the right hands does it sound good, and often in the right hands, it is amazing. Bands like Korn, System of a Down, middle era Dir En Grey. Especially in Vkei is Nu Metal often in the right hands with bands like Dezert, Kuroyuri to Kage, Sads, later era Kuroyume, etc. But dang are most of the bands hard to stand. Like, Limp Bizkit, I like the guitars, but Fred Durst can't rap for crap. Linkin Park is ehh, they're kind of only lumped into Nu Metal. Trapt are just annoying (And dicks to creators like Rob Scallon). And for some reason, Nickleback is considered Nu Metal?? (IDK how.) Also, most of the good Nu Metal bands often either play more than Nu Metal, like Korn, who often do general Funk Rock, Dir En Grey used to be more Alternative Metal and are now Deathcore, and Kuroyuri to age and Dezert often mix the genre with Metalcore. Sads started out as Gothic rock, and Kuroyume was for the most part Alternative Metal, Alternative Rock and Gothic Rock. Other bands, such as System of a Down, are experimental with it, and often take it further than the genre's confines. Are there any genres you love, but can't stand most of the bands? I'd like to hear your thoughts

Western "Metalhead" logic: Black Sabbath and Metallica. Sound nothing alike, both considered Metal. Bullet for my Valentine, sounds something like Metallica. Not considered "trve metal".
Actually, this is kind of the logic of fanboys in the western side of the music scene anyway. The only reason I don't see it in Vkei is because it's accepted that the lines between genres are blurred.

@reminiscing2004 I know right? I only use them as a convenient way to group similar bands, but in the end, it all boils down to Rock and Roll.

I definitely don't see BFMV as punk, wtf? I think many of the metalcore bands are closer to metal than punk anyday. Maybe if you wanted to simplify their genre definition, I'd just say they're rock or something.
For me technical instrumentals + heavy music = metal
but then again, I don't really care about genres.. so who am I to say?

From what I've heard from others, all I've heard is worship, and it's on every station so every shop I go into, it's blaring in all of our ears. I know it sounds selfish to complain about it, but goddamn is it everywhere, and I have to let out my distaste for it somewhere xD
-
So if you've ever delved into KoteKei, you'll have probably come across Soleil records. They were an indie label in the 90's that held some of the best and most influential bands. They had bands like La'Mule, Vasalla, I think Birushana and for a while Madeth Gray'll. But, what exactly were they? What is the basic industry? Who owned them? I'd like to learn more. Thanks in advance

Closer by the Chainsmokers sucks. F*ck, everything by them just f*cking sucks. I thought their song "Selfie" was just a joke.. turns out, "We ain't never getting older" repeated 848639751937567417^10*485018589 (A number so big, it's in scientific notation) times is not a joke, and it's authentically repetitive, generic trash. And the general public eats that sh*t up! I don't see what's so appealing about a bunch of autotuned guys saying the same double negative in an amount so big, it, it has to be in Scientific notation. Then again, it's pop music. Why am I annoyed if I don't even listen to it? Because IT'S EVERYWHERE. Everywhere I go, I hear that same song. How does it not get old for people? Am I just a "goth" person who only listens to trash, or am I the only one with a brain that gets annoyed with monotony?

Unpopular opinion: Saver Tiger, Mephistopheles, D'erlanger, and Dead End are just as important as, if not more important than X Japan.
I mean, Saver Tiger formed before X, didn't they?-
-
@orange~ Saver Tiger actually formed in 1980 xD
But I think Vkei really turned away from its original path when Buck Tick and Kuroyume came onto the scene. I mean, before that, it was mostly an offshoot from the Japanese Thrash Metal, Hardcore Punk and Speed Metal scene, but then you have Buck Tick with this Gothic sound, and Kuroyume combining the sounds. I think it's funny how in the west, Thrash Metal was considered a response to Glam when in Japan, bands like Aion combined the two.
-
@SeimeisenI care about X, but I care about the other early bands just as much.
Just like how I care about Dir En Grey, but I also care about La'Mule just as much because they were just as influential, if not more.
I mean, if you're popular enough in the indie scene for bands to copy you even before you even make enough records, that says something xD

^^ I also really like Kuroyuri to Kage's vocals. Mei is a really good vocalist and a good screamer. I often hear people complain his screaming doesn't have enough power, but they kind of miss the point. Mei's screams are influenced from that of Johnathan Davis from Korn. They're not meant to be powerful. Another favourite "millenial" vocalist of mine is Chiaki from Dezert. I love how feminine his vocals are and he sounds almost the same on stage as he does in studio.

There are Vkei bands named D, S and M.
The only thing missing is a B...

It's also worth mentioning the Swastika has nothing to do with rebelling. In Europe, it was a heraldry symbol. Also, in Germany, it wasn't even called Swastika. It was called Harkenkreuz. Harkenkreuz is German for "Hooked Cross". Also, before the name "Swastika" was even popularised, it was called Gammadion. (Which comes from it's shape resembling 4 gammas) But, most people like the made up narrative that the Nazi's got it from India.
-
Wait, so if I give Ramen then I'll be let in free? Ship me to Japan and give me a cup of Sapporo Ichiban then because I need to see Kuroyuri xD
-
This sh*t better be real
-
This must also be the world's first ever gay pregnancy xD (Minus the occasional trans ones)
-
Wait, is that a Shamisen I am hearing in Madeth Gray'll's "Kuroshichou no Hanataba"? There is one part where it oddly sounds like a Shamisen is playing
-
xD nah it doesn't make you a noob. Just makes you a normal foreign fan like me. Also, "Gomenasorry". Gonna have to use that xD
-
Isn't Oshare the western way of calling it? I heard in Japan, they call it Osare
-
What if Yoshiki decided to sign another band instead of Dir En Grey? Like, he could have went for any band. I wonder, what if he chose another band? How would they have progressed?
-
The screams in "Mirror Mirror" by La'Mule sound like he's going "Meow Meow"
Once heard, can't be unheard
-
That can be true in an ironic sense though xD. Like, one can love the "Allstar memes", but hate the song to death xD
-
I do care for some founding bands, because I love exploring, and while I love the 90s Vkei sound, I can't stand most of the bands Too many Kuroyume clones (or Dir En Grey clones as the newbs call them) In fact, Missa era Diru was a Kuroyume copycat. Also, I'll is a copy of a D=Sire song. Sorrynotsorry
-
I haven't listened to Xaa Xaa much, but I must say I can really hear a lot of 90's influence in their song "Doshaburi No Kanojo."
Do they have any other 90's sounding songs?
