I never thought of it that way before, but I'm totally fine with the idea of visual kei remaining a primarily Asian thing.

I mean don't get me wrong, I have thought about it before. But Patrik's outburst really got me thinking about what visual kei is and why none of us can settle on a coherent definition. That's where the magic lies for me. I grew up as less than in a Eurocentric world, and was programmed to think of white as default. Everyone in my country is. History was white people history. World history was "this is how Britain almost won this last game of Civilization, but then America came from behind with a bullshit victory". Asian culture always felt more distant and is still marketed as more niche and ~exotic~. For me, there's a layer of separation between how I perceive the two cultures. I will always feel more familiarity with Britain or Scandinavia than Laos or Cambodia, even though I have never been to any of those places. In theory, I would be okay with visual kei becoming a world wide thing. In practice, outside of Asian circles it crosses the layer of separation in my mind and becomes something too familiar to be visual kei, and so it just doesn't work for me.

Also I'm high as fuck whats up?

Fucking idiot, living up to both his name and the band's name (Bataar, more like Pataar, amirite).

mild goth, also soft-butch lesbian

Does anyone often find genres that they love, but actually can't stand most of the bands of? 
 
visual kei

I think Kaya is grossly underrated. I don't care for most of his music due to it not being my taste, but his range is out of this world. There are some songs that he's released that really blow me away--the piano version of Last Snow comes to my mind immediately--but there are a handful of others that showcase his talent and it really does bother me that he's not more popular, or at the very least, more recognised.
 
Overrated, definitely KAMIJO. I don't even want to touch that one.

All I wanna do rn is grab that Bataar guy's mic and shove it far up his tight little butthole cuz all he does is talk shit

I just realized I've hit my 10-year mark in this hell

we need to ban everyone from posting about the scene in public, we need to go deeper underground
 
#radicalizevisualkei

I've thought about this a lot and I think I've come up with a solution
 
 
We need to ban americans, scandinavians and anyone who's been into vk for less than a decade from the scene.
