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?

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

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
