Agreed.

also:

oop @ me sleeping on sui because I avoided UCP and didn't like david but metis gretel actually sounds really close to (very budget and stripped down) CULA?

good sis got consistency

🌺metis gretel - devil's masquerade

🌹megaromania - prophetic faction

+1 to what evenor said anyway

Haha, five stars for your perfect description of the VK genre. There's great gems, and then there's questionable ones where you're wondering where the hell they even came from, lol.

Also like @Gesu said, I think it's nice to be able to express your opinions on MH and not get completely flamed or be treated like utter trash for it (Thinking of places like YouTube...)  

@monkeybanana4 I'm getting Vietnam flashbacks to a YT comment war on MEJIBRAY's Eiki PV that started when someone said she hated VK because it's "gay and the bois look like gurls". When people told her she was being ridiculous, she said and I quote "What if I said that I HATE visual kei?" and I think she got disappointed when everyone said they wouldn't really give a shit. Ahh, memories.

God, yes, I agree. So many both great and shitty bands coming and going. And I love the forum because you can just say x band sucks ass and you won't get 20+ butthurt fangirls demanding you get banned from the group lol

I'm pretty sure most people dislike him because he makes some of the absolutely worst music ever created by man.

Madmans esprit and ms isohp romatem are both great

make it rain

j/w what do they typically listen to 👀

Well, if you don't like "over the top cathy choruses"...you might have picked the wrong genre to listen to  plenty of those, here, in VK

maybe but theres something about dexcore were it just sounds like every metalcore band i listened to from when i was 11-18 and i just cant do it anymore 

I don't usually talk much about what I dislike anymore but I feel the same. I think it sounding more west style metal is why, like you said. That and major key or 'catchy chorus', I skip that in all songs unless it's very short. But I'm also someone who can almost only listen to minor key.

(Engrish I hate too if it's corny but I can tolerate it in certain circumstances.)

So it's like a triple threat of annoyances lol

I wouldn't count older bands for this one even if some of us were already around ( Kagerou and Deadman. Both the scene is different and we are older which changes things a lot ) nor bands that obviously started sucking hard later on and causing people to turn on them like Mucc and Girugamesh, but even to this day the few who stuck by D'espairsray even after their mortifyingly awful fourth album is beyond me ( and anyone who likes anything off of that album ought to stop listening to music altogether. ) However, I'd also say 9Goats Blackout was decently popular in the western fandom and the handful of people that didn't like them didn't bother reminding people about it all the time. I guess Moran as well and some Ains stuff, but I'd also say that apart from Grieva they didn't really arouse any feelings in the opposition and were therefore largely left alone to disband in their own time. 

Other bands just don't get the rocket attached to them quite like say, Mejibray did and then the negative response is also quieter. For a band like that I'd go ahead and say that Kizu is doing a lot better for itself in the western fandom than a lot of the bands from the Royz era that felt like were going to go somewhere. I can't believe there was a time when even a band like Nega got a lot of people talking every time something was released, and almost like 50% of it must've been nega ( ha ) tive.

I think pretty much every band had/has SOMEONE who doesn't like them, even if they're not that vocal about it. But as for saying like the majority supported a certain band, I also disagree with that because I'm sure there's some corner on the internet where VK fans gather/used to gather where the consensus might be totally different. I mean I remember hearing that Latin American fans are obsessed with Versailles, like on another level. Also seconding @Disposable on the fact that "the scene is different and we are older" because I think that plays a lot into it. But all of you saying you dislike 9goats, pls turn in your VK card, I'll be collecting them at the window over here from 9 pm tonight

i am p u M pEd

Im eager to hear whats next if its new music

I agree, it's a really fun album. Kinda trashy and low-budget (in the arrangement/synth department) but that's half the charm, haha.

It grew on me really fast. I found myself kinda bored at the beginning, but I was sold by the end. I find his vocals kind of...not good in a traditional sense, but they have a lot of "VK charm" to them, in my opinion.

Is it on Spotify, btw?

i think they were relocating warehouses recently. maybe a delay regarding that.

oh fuck ur right, thanks for the headsup 

i guess theres marvelous cruelty but there doesnt seem to be much of em out there and it sounds like $5 production budget 

The vanished band ナルコレプシィ (narcolepsy) has some old school vibes.

https://vk.gy/releases/narcolepsy/

please listen to emmuree. bless.

it would be around february time for clarification, if any fellow mh members are there during that time and wanna meet up or something thatd be sick as well since its looking like a solo trip for me LOL 

virge are so fun!! but like every song has a ton of furi so be prepared to learn quick if you don't know it already haha. and honestly i'd just book it around one or two must see's and eventually other bands will announce stuff too and you'll have a full schedule soon enough.

Same place where deviloof's consecutive single releases are

I know it's been so cold everyday!

with that being said im probably using a proxy service for the upcoming full length cause that recent music video slaps hard
