I could name drop song titles that I've seen everywhere but wouldn't actually know what they sound like. They have like...30 songs yes? I could name a bunch too and the only song I've ever heard was Art of Life. I listened to it because of how much I heard it was the greatest thing ever and such a pivotal work...and I feel like it goes on ten minutes longer than it needs to. Blind X worship is shit n00bs do. Genuine respect for X's material can only come after that I feel, because everyone has to get their biases about X out of the way before the music can really be enjoyed for what it is.

Zalemu 236 Posted March 31, 2017 That blind worship is exactly why I haven't bothered listening to them. Stupid, yeah, but maybe someday I'll ignore the fanbase and give them a try. Even if I do prefer Luna Sea. 1 Takadanobabaalien reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I hate Dir en grey with passion. And I honestly couldn't care less about the oldies goldies like Luna Sea or Kuroyume or X Japan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're not the only one. As for The Gazette, you didn't lose anything, imo (no offense for the fans, it's just my personal opinion). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, there's plenty of "entry level acts" and "classics" I never bothered to listen to because they just didn't appeal to me, like Shazna, Baroque, Raphael, Baiser and such. Only Kuroyume I've actually bothered to listen thouroughly was the Kuro to Kage album. Tried like three Diru albums at different points during the last 8-9 years and they still feel meh to me. Haven't heard Hide nor really plan to. And yes, Luna Sea > X Japan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Himeaimichu 1535 Posted March 31, 2017 I do care for some founding bands, because I love exploring, and while I love the 90s Vkei sound, I can't stand most of the bands Too many Kuroyume clones (or Dir En Grey clones as the newbs call them) In fact, Missa era Diru was a Kuroyume copycat. Also, I'll is a copy of a D=Sire song. Sorrynotsorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ikna 1225 Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) This shit right here. Under Syndrome's Sleaver PV. A band using the manji/swastika because of religious reasons is understandable and nothing to debate about. But you really have to be a fool to overlook the obvious Nazi imagery when it's a friggin' swastika on a Nazi armbinder, which is even attached to a SS style unifrom/dress. And yeah, I am aware that bands did in fact use this as a way to shock. Doesn't excuse to say "It's certainly not having to do with Nazis at all!!!"

I could write an essay about "my fav can do no wrong uwu" visual kei fans that will reach so far to defend literally anything, but especially nazi symbolism. Goddddd how blind of a fangirl do you have to be to defend the nazi uniforms or even be like "oooooh I love a man in uniform" like... a nazi uniform tho???? Then they always try to back it up with like WELL CULTURALLY, IN JAPAN like I don't even care about that. I want to know why you, as an American or European fan, are defending this. One of my biggest peeves in visual kei because I never realized this was a big thing and then I was like "wait you guys are okay with this? really???" 2 qotka and gekiai reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShTon 268 Posted April 1, 2017 Yeah, just because stuff like that is used just as a shock value, this doesn't justify it for me. People just have to admit their faves did something wrong instead of protecting them, because they're just making fools out of themselves. On the other hand, there's also lot of people going "OMG NAZIS!!!" because of manji. Just educate yourselves before you attack/defend someone because of that. ._. 2 gekiai and Komorebi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
