I love this preview 🥰.
 

I slept from The Gazette because I know this band since  a long time ago and I don't like it at first. So I watch Red MV and I like their music in 2010. 
 
I slept for Kiryu because I know thems since many years ...but I listen their music since 2013.
 
I discover Codomo Dragon 2013 or 2013 and I really listen the band since 2016  .

Arlequin.
 
I knew they existed but I just never took the time to actually sit down and listen until a few months ago. Now they’re one of my faves. 

As the title says, which groups/artists did you ignore for too long? Could be a band that had a lot of hype and talk when they came out, could be music that has really resonated with you and you feel you should've checked them out earlier.
 
My top pick would have to be Merry, I always knew their name but just never bothered to listen to them. Someone here posted a video of 'Montage' live and within about thirty seconds of hearing it I knew I was hooked. I even feel a bit guilty for not listening to them sooner given their importance and with such a big discography it's quite a task to go through it all.
 
Apologies if there is already a similar thread.

I have been laughing for the past five minutes over this photo of Asagi and Tim Burton together it's just so cursed like--why does Asagi look like he wants to die? Why does Tim Burton look like he just shat his pants? Fuck, my vision's going black, my lungs hurt oh my fuck I think I'm gonna die of laughter [Edit: I did not die of laughter but now my head hurts like hell from the oxygen deprivation]

Holy shit.
 
 

There's 10 cases in my area now, including one person from my job.
 
i never wanna leave my house again

Damn, so fucking wild. I'm considered gen Z here lol altho from what I remember, 1996-1999 are considered as a weird undefinied generation all together tbh not exactly considered Y and Z so yeah~ 

I am Gen Y 😃.  I discover VK was young by a French Rock Magazine they talk about European, American and Visual Kei band because many bands who comes in France in 2000's and I see no one because I was young and I live a small town. In these you can buy a European Edition of visual kei cds for many bands but not all.
 
In this time , many bands haven't a Youtube Channel, and many MV uploads from TV or CDs.
 
In this time you had many shows , lives and MVs from Nico Nico Douga was free in start. After certain shows was not free and you had to pay. And I created a old account for free (maybe he's dead).
 
After the decline of Visual Kei in Europe , I buy CDs from Japan .
 
I am happy when labels and bands created their YouTube channels and they streaming their music on Spotify and Amazon.

Generation Y. Got the timing to be a teenager when the nu metal hype train was going on.

I'm generation Y and I started to listen vk in the 2000s. Poland always had relatively small fanbase, so most of the bands avoided our country :(. Back then I watched videos on yt, and tried to download albums from bearshare or other softwares (I didn't know about soulseek), but very slow internet was very annoying. Now is so much better

Yah it is always a risk to meet musicians you like because it often can lead to big let downs : ( but on the other hand it is always great when people live up to your expectations. Sadly some people in vk who are artistically great but bad at normal life end up having to do weird things to have money and time to be active in the scene too, a case of "dont hate the player, hate the game." comes up often too so : (  like almost all job listings in tokyo that say "any hairstyle is ok." Is a lie and when a local goes to the interview theyll say "oh if you dont have black hair and look normal cant do this job" so it all just breeds and produces more of the bad than good. 

I'm curious to see the age demographics of MH. I bet it will mostly be Millennials followed by Gen Z, then Gen X. I know that the definition of which generation starts when is murky but I choose only the most reliable source, Wikipedia! That being said, if your birth year intertwines with two Gens (like 1996) choose whichever one you identify most with. 
 
I'm Gen Z. Honestly, going by all the revival lives and stuff in the VK scene, and the slow transition to digital mediums like having music on Spotify and doing lives and interviews on Youtube, I feel like I was born in the right generation, 100%. How about you?
 

I'm either Gen Y or X but I decided to vote Y.
 
I never minded getting to know about VK when I was in the middle of my Twenties so I didn't have to ask my parents, if I were allowed to go to this live or that one (2006 - 2008 there have been so many bands coming to Germany that I've been to lives so often compared to now). I also didn't have to care about school and if tour dates might interfere with school stuff, especially when I had to go to other places than here so to me that was the perfect age. I don't look my age anyway so no one every thought I'd be that much older than the others. xDD

Yah but Yoshiki caused lots of trouble in the past. 2 former ecstasy label staff once asked me at a bar how I got staff only old X t shirt and when I asked about working for Yoshiki both old guys had this response of remembering tons of stress haha. now he is chill(er) but in the old days? 😂 
 
Pretty much all musicians are assholes tbh. Just what degree of A-hole are you. 
 
Shinpei from SuG seems to be a really good guy too from when met him. 

"hmm haven't checked MH news in awhile wonder if anything interesting has happened"


 

They're posting individual songs on their youtube one song at a time.
 
 

Codomo dragon is uploading footage from old lives on their youtube channel for a limited time

I am not into capitalism too... But i can't be an anarchist saying that capitalism is bad in all social media. But i am conscious about the job from other people.
 

This means: Empathy first at all. 

For them I would prefer ghostsharing. but if they can pay for internet, they might be rich enough to buy a song once in the while too... and spotify works for them too. So no excuse.
 

Thats why the streaming service is getting strength to stop illegal download.
