Number Girl

Lol. . . my past is starting to look really sad. . .
 
I didn't care much for music up until I entered high school. Before, the only artists I really loved were Coldplay, Eminem, and various country, hip-hop, and contemporary Christian songs (pretty much the staple diet of the average Southern teenager with access to a radio). Both my parents were casually into your standard 70's and 80's pop and rock music (Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, etc.) so I think that's where my interest in that kind of music came from, but for the most part my father doesn't care all that much about music anymore and my mother only listens to Christian pop. 
 
When I discovered the internet and started playing video games and watching anime, I started liking the theme songs and that's what lead me to J-Rock. For a couple years I just listened to whatever band had the prettiest members or whatever was the most catchy and melodic artist, like Gackt and other visual kei. I'm pretty sure it was Luna Sea and Number Girl that officially altered my perspective on music forever. They really opened up my mind to other types of rock music and made me more appreciative of it. Now I listen to shit I never imagined I would be listening to. It's funny because my interest in Japanese rock has now caused me to become re-interested in English speaking music and not the other way around, haha. 

Zombies, just because vampires and werewolves were ruined by Twilight for me.

Why is this even being discussed everyone's just repeating the same things that have been said in earlier versions of this thread.
 
Just because your poor precious bands are gone now doesn't mean it's dead.
