^^ clearly doesn't know how to use the quotes thing whoops >//////<

N'aaaw thanks all you guys! And I will continue to enjoy my time here don't worry YESSSS FOR LA DISPUTE -high fives- I think my first song was nine, and now Somewhere at the bottom of etc etc etc is probably one of my favorite albums all time tbh but I think 'ugh' accurately describes my love for them xD nice to see another fan on here!

So this is an EXTREMELY belated introdution! I've decided to be more active on this forum (hopefully) but all you guys seem cool and awesome and I get intimidated easily, also i'm not the best at describing music when I want to introduce others to it, so I tend to keep quiet because you guys are so much better at it! >< so you may see me lurking around on the chat occasionally, most likely being that one person who never seems to know what's going on and having to repeatedly ask and be awkward I did come at first mostly because of the downloads section and I would love to upload stuff BUT I JUST DON'T HAVE MONEY GUYS hopefully a time will come when I can actually upload my own stuff and not just be a notorious leecher -sigh- Anyway onto music, I don't really have any bands that I stick to religiously as music tends to reflect my mood a lot/ or reflects what I want my mood to be/ I just like finding new bands so I become obsessed with them for really brief periods of time and then find something else. Or maybe that's just because MH introduces me to so much good music I just want to listen to all of it... Either way, a few bands that i've been listening to recently are Plastic Tree amber gris Janne Da Arc Dir en Grey NightingeiL Alice Nine cocklobin D DELUHI Not sticking to VK i've been listening to Kuroki Nagisa (due to MH THANKS GUYS!!!) school food punishment Asako Nasu Kenshi Yonezu GYZE Just in case you're interested, some English bands i've been listening to recently Northlane The Antlers Rishloo La Dispute Ne Obliviscaris Lydia I listen to a fairly wide variety of music and it tends to change up a lot, I also have a tendency to ramble on a lot, excuse the ridiculously long post and lists, so i'm just going to stop here and I hope I can pluck up the courage to get to know some of you guys better -flies away awkwardly-

Yeah I guess to paraphrase it I think I phrased it like that because I have a terrible memory and I can't really remember specifics very well. So by the time I notice that something really had had an impact on my life, it's been there for a while But go ahead with the wall of text! It's nice to see someone wanting to post something on here

From that list I only really listen to Versailles, A(ACE) and ALSDEAD. Not really a huge fan of SuG and I haven't actually heard that Gackt song before whoops. But i'd have to go with the A(ACE) song, SO DAMN CATCHY!! (plus i'm in that sort of mood) AvelCain - Hebi to Ubume LOST ASH - Soul of Liberty Kagrra, - 風の記憶 (Kaze no Kioku) Kagrra, - 運命の糸 (Unmei no Ito) Awoi - Zetsubou no Taiyou NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST - Disaster Amadeus - Kasumi Pity Sex - Smoke Screen MoNoLith - Future Travel [Mirai Tripper] Defeater - Hopeless Again I know people have a HUUGE varitey of music on here, but I linked a couple of them which i'd not heard people mention before on here, whether that's because they've not been brought to your attention or you just think there a lil shit, I don't know but I highly reccomend both of those albums anyway. Pity Sex being kind of shoegazey and Defeater being.... hardcore I guess?? I'm not very good at describing music/classifying by genre, so I guess just listen to them if you want to see for yourself I'm going with LOST ASH for this one, as mentioned above, i'm in a more upbeat kind of mood. And LOST ASH is one of those bands I default to on those occasions. Them, on shuffle, on repeat >/////<

I was tempted to put some of these songs in the -THE- song thread, but I felt i'd be throwing it off coures a little. Then again, some of these could go in the music and memories thread, but I felt it was too general, thus...this atrocious pile of text was born... This is more a stroll down memory lane for me, these songs don't necessarily have to represent the band as a whole, for me it's more a case of the songs which have managed to creep into your library. Creep in from where exactly? I don't even know myself sometimes, but now you actually think about it, they always bring a smile to your face. They're not necessarilly what the band is known for, but you occasionally think 'why does no one ever talk about this song!' Then you maybe think over it, maybe listen to the full album and start to doubt yourself, 'oh yeah, this one is more memorable' or 'I see why people like this one more' BUT IT'S STILL SO GODDAMN ANNOYING BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SCREAM THAT SONG AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS TO EVERYONE EVEN THE ONES THAT WON'T LISTEN (optional story to go along with them, don't mind my rambling ><) For me, my first introduction into the world of VK (or just music in general, but that's a different story) was Nightmare through...Death Note xD typical weeaboo answer I know, but can't change the facts. Before I digress, one of the songs I rarely see mentioned is Rakuu, it's one of those songs which I don't ever think i'll be able to delete from my life without deleting a part of my soul along with it. I never used to listen to musicfor the first 15/16 years of my life (basically my entire life okay), I used to do a lot of gymnastics and that basically was my life, but chronic fatigue happened and I had to quit. Then I found anime and hence 'music' and decided fuck the world and I let music touch me emotionally for the first time But yeah, that song just takes me back to just discovering what the world of music had to offer, it was basically the starting point for me finding an interest where I could make new friends and be a part of a community, rather than humiliated by my coach in a very much individual sport. And it also showed me just what I had been missing out on due to insecurities. I'm only 18 now, which probably seems like a baby to most of you guys >< Next up? Has to be about the Gazette, they normally manage to pop up somewhere. I got into the Gazette how many people did I think, mostly through their popularity in the VK scene, browsing through youtube videos and scrolling the comments and seeing this name popping up everywhere. Eventually I checked them out and I was kind of sucked into the whole fangirl wave (which i'm not sure when I left tbh). But that aside, i've not had much time to form many memories with music but Chizuru is one song that I can't see disappearing any time soon, being one of the few Gazette songs I still listen to... I still don't really know the translation or what Ruki is singing about, but I do know that that song is what got me through a time where I wasn't really able to do much at all physically. I couldn't do much mentally either, but what I could do mentally just brought me further down the spiral of depression...<<dramatic elipses as I look thoughtfully into the sunset First time i've managed to build up enough courage to make a substantial post on here >__< I know i've rambled a bit but hope it's okay! in other words please be kind to me or i'll cry T___T

I'm slightly intimidated by you guys giving descriptions/genres of the music you post >_< I just listen, if I like then I like, and i'm not very good with genres so, i'll just stick to what the band have tagged their music as, and you can listen for yourself (seeing as all of them are on bandcamp) well that could have gone better, they just tag them with everything or 'alternative' -sigh- Take the tags with a pinch of salt I guess My Iron Lung: indie, punk. post-hardcore -HERE- Anthony and the Second Verse: indie-rock, emo, memory map??? (anyone know what this is?) -HERE- Cat City: rock, alt-country, experimental pop, indie pop, indie rock -HERE- Circle Takes The Square: hardcore, punk, apocalyptic, grindcore, indie rock, prog metal, punk, screamo, skramz -HERE- Per Aspera: hardcore, metal, punk -HERE- Also Robotic Empire seem to have quite a lot of free music, I've only tried PG.99 which is skramz I guess (pssst I really like 'The Lonesome Waltz of Leonard Cohen') and YOUNG WIDOWS LIVE @ WMUC which is kind punky???//.S>?D/s?Z?D -HERE- Soft Roars: shoegaze, depressive surf pop, ambient -HERE- yeah, I recently went on a free music hunt, new and not sure if you guys will like it but HEY FREE MUSIC IS ALWAYS GOOD OH and before I forget -THIS- tumblr has quite a lot of more mainstream hardcore/metalcore bands (according to them) although they've not updated it for a while, if you've wanted to get into a few of these bands then....GO FOR IT! it's my first post uwaaah.....hope you enjoy and find something you like and all that shizz, ok i'll stop now >_<
