  1. Kiss my way were great~ their cover of pretty joke was better than hone's (obvs because ten ten's vocals)

     

    It would he amazing if he brought Jun into MBHI as a 3rd guitarist and be even more Djent in their sound~ since they're the superior VK Djent band right now.


  2. I don't know how exactly "full of teenage angst" and "osa/koteosa mayhem" makes previous vk wave much worse than this wave of dissonant arpeggio solos #101299 (that most Deluigi-copy bands in the vein of Galeyd, Jiluka go for...and over which our vk fans here go jisming for no reason whatsoever), "BVB-went-Suicide Silence" carbon copies (Nokubura, DADAROMA, vk bandomen that try to fool around with deathcoreisms atm or just anything that is too akin to their western generic -core riffages (not that I have anything against coreisms - western acts just happen to do it better and I really fail at seeing that how vk bands are "special" on that department ffs).

     

    Just give me a Mucc carbon copycat (I might as well assume that Kuroyuri to Kage (for instance) goes for partial Zekuu worship but it's just me though...I can dig it!) everyday and ditch all those uprising Deluigi worshippers. At least this "teenage angst" gave an emotional value to vk performances back in the day - now there is absolutely nothing what could make vk music (in any department, except for "oldies" - maybe) somewhat "sui generis"  in the world of music trends where good ones are ditched and most scenesters are more likely to suck in new "Pro Tools"-isms like sponges for the sake of being "rad" (technical values become "too complex" for new fandom generations to digest, and go for looks + superduper br00tal moaning breakdowns in vk's case).

     

    As the matter of fact, reasoning for my old skwl favoritism is simple: 90s acts were more eager to adopt various influences and let their looks just "reflect" their general, musical visions instead of putting up some idiotic mishmash masquerade and go for out-of-context soundscapes. As the case in point, SHAZNA's (that legendary old skwl band no one cares about) visual ideas revolved around ideas of combining The Blitz Kids' (Boy George, anyone?) and old skwl culture -isms together - and GOLD SUN.../Pure Hearts (check "Magenta Story" for further examinations) were very stellar representatives of what they were going for...by that sense, we could say that even during your "dreadful" angst era both visuals and music went together hand in hand very well (even fricking RES got the idea of how to go with their looks while developing their early Sphire-Croid era-sound, ffs).

     

    Speaking of which, nu metal helped to develop an emphasis on this "emotional value" I talked about - and I double-dare you to look up for various boards in which fans back in the day described that WHY they became interested in vk in the first place. Most might go with this: the rich palette of emotions and soundscapes accompanied by corresponding looks or visual themes. Now where is this "rich palette"? Vk is nothing more but one heck of a sponge of brainwashing trends and zero technical/emotional finesse now, smh.

     

    I never saw legit reasoning on why people SHOULD dig vk music as it is now (other than being hushed and threatened with bans), so I decided to kickstart this circus. The stage is yours, folks.

     

    *and everything above mainly concerns upcoming and current acts, doesn't have to do with most old acts that e.g. mentioned (of which some are not really vk to me anymore in all honesty)*

     

    My reasoning for saying that is because back then people would shit on other bands that weren't "dark" or "angry" and didn't sound generic. Like I said, it was mainly the indies that made nu metal bad because it offered nothing. I DO enjoy nu metal, I have nothing against it, in fact my dai honmei band is a nu metal band. If you like at it now, compared to what it was then, I simply enjoy this djentcore wave more than back then. Bands like cloud. and vivi and the likes made nu metal unlistenable in vk and I can simply name more vk indies that just shit on nu metal because it was the thing back then.


  3. I usually don't showcase my collection, but I am so proud of this! I can't express enough thanks to the people who helped me with this. I owe you guys(you know who you are!) the utmost gratitude in the world. Missing Noisy GENE and Oppai no uta, but they will be on their way soon! Monochrome Heaven people, you guys are the best!!!!!!

  4. Wasn't shitting on Nu-metal because I actualdly do enjoy some here and there, but a lot of what the mid 00s vk bands were chrurning out was God awful and they should be ashamed for it.

     

    but real metal heads don't like vk because they dress up in elaborate costumes? I guess black metal artist aren't real metal too because they get all giddy up in their black spiky costumes and white make up then?


  5. I don't care for this current wave. There's a few great bands here and there. BUT it is better than the Nu-Metal wave. Omg, that was full of the WORST vk has ever produced and people would wank over it because of teenage angst, had gawd awful vocals almost overall, and shit on the osa/koteosa/kirakira bands for being musically better than knowing just power chords. Sorry not sorry, 05s-09s indie vk heavier(dark) bands sucked ass. If you were in the scene long enough to remember, you know what I'm talking about.
