Mental-health kei, basically idolizing cutting yourself and shit

Never listened to any music that fits the genre (I don't think; I don't actively listen to it, anyways) and I don't want to. It's basically #edgy taken to the extreme and wrapped in a big pink bow. It's kind of sad, really. It was supposed to be a way of people being honest about their issues and trying to reduce stigma, but they kind of did it wrong and romanticised it. They also try to lump it together with more "innocent" genres such as oshare/decora, which is why I'd wager a lot of people are apprehensive about them 😕

i think that newish band ロゼ fits the description. i kind of lost all interest when the guitarist posted photos of his wrist cutting..
