    digi got a reaction from Mamo in Your top 10 favorite visual kei bands?   
    It's really hard to pick JUST ten, but I suppose I'll try. Here goes nothing:
     
    Cali Gari - What's not to love about them, really. Older Cali Gari was especially my favorite. Funky, yet catchy all at the same time.
     
    guniw tools - I don't even think they count as visual kei, but still. I adore all of FULL's projects ;_;
     
    deadman - Mako's voice is incredibly soothing, and so is the instrumentals as well. Really gloomy, just like Jigsaw said, but still great.
     
    SEX-ANDROID - May or may not be classified as vk, but whatever they are, they are simply amazing.
     
    BUCK-TICK - Ah, Buck Tick. I don't think I need to explain this one, haha.
     
    Sandwich de 120 pun? - Eiji projects never fail to amaze me, seriously. Really creepy lyrics, but the music itself is very misleading. I guess beep boops have that certain power ;<
     
    guruguru eigakan - Love them to bits and pieces. Quirky as hell, but so great.
     
    yazzmad - I wasn't all too fond of them at first, but they've really grown on me since then. Absolutely adore them now
     
    Plastic Tree - Really nice, melancholic/shoegaze-y music, that usually puts me into a good mood. Ryutaro has an outstanding voice that lulls me to sleep very easily (in a good way of course). Needless to say, Tadashi's a very talented bassist.
     
    HOLLOWGRAM - Yeah, they're pretty new, but the recent release they put out has got me hooked. Flawless. 
     
    But yeah, this is just my list. I'd definitely recommend trying out all of these bands if you haven't already~
    All of them are really great, and in no particular order.

    digi got a reaction from Laurence02 in New VK vs. Old VK   
    Rather surprised I didn't respond to this topic before.
     
    Old vk to me, would be anything from '90 to '05, which is certainly a broad range. In that case, I'd most definitely prefer old vk to new any day. New visual kei doesn't do anything for me, to be quite honest. But of course there are some exceptions. 
     
    There's something about those old matina/soleil bands losing their shit in a song, and dressing in the gaudiest of artificial leathers, that simply do not compare to the sparkly, glittered-up, boyband-esque bands of today. Needless to say, the music was just as awful then as it is now, but old vk had this certain charm about it that makes it a whole lot more enjoyable as a whole, for me. But then again, maybe I'm just biased towards flour-faced men in PVC attire, recording shitty (yet lovely) music to satisfy my ears.
     
    With all that goff matina stuff aside, I also find that the older angura or nagoya bands such as cali gari, mucc, kalimero, or deadman, also stood out to me more than any new vk band ever has. Once again, I find that these two particular subgenres have quite the charm to them. Certainly gives you a sense of nostalgia and immense emotion to listen to artists like these, which is something I like.
     
    The musicianship from the older era of things seemed to be of a more excellent quality, in general. In most cases, you can surely sense when there's a lot of feeling and thought put into a song, and I cannot sense that with most things I've heard from the newer spectrum of vk. Not to say the musicianship is horrid here, but it doesn't quite feel the same.
     
    This is just my two cents though, and should probably be taken with a grain of salt. I'd to conclude that I'm also very surprised at how many others here prefer the older era.

    digi got a reaction from platy in Shit your pet does.   
    My cat eats the food out of my hand when I'm not paying attention. R.I.P chicken mcnuggets and burgers. 
     
     
    She also does this thing when I don't pet her after she comes up and lays on my keyboard. I'm assuming it's "pouting" because her ears will go back and she cries like a little baby (queue the MEOWowoWooWs right about now), just laying there. As soon as I go to pick her up and pet her again, she stops and lays in my arms, curling her little paws up. It's the cutest. See pic. ,o,

    I've done it so much in my life that I downright prefer drinking alone now. I just have more fun listening to music while getting wasted on the computer than being out there surviving in the cold, paying cloak room fees, eating soggy nuggets and all that, though usually both end up happening in succession.
