Why is this fandom so fucked?

[ramrod 108]

... seriously?

Personally, just looking at that makes me sick. I have never known such a fandom / group of people to be so obsessed with something that it controls how they dress, how they speak, and even controls their facebook. Like, there are thousands of profiles out there with just pictures of VK band members, just that...no real photos of themselves. And NO. Your real name is NOT 'Hizaki Ruki Takanori'

Like...i love VK, but not to the point where i'm some mong that says kawaii, over uses '<3' and lives my own life through the happenings of a vk band member...

/end rant.

Yes ill probably get flamed, whatever, lol.

Opinions?

You are completely right. 90% of the fanbase act as if they are 14 year old kids who's extremely childish for their age. They're like 14 year old kids with the brain of 10 year old kids. It's embarrassing to say at least.

[fitear1590 2414]

Lol, I won't flame you.

I think it's ridiculous too. But it's not necessarily limited to VK and "J-rock" (okay, maybe the saying "kawaii"/ "sugoi" stuff is), but the controlling how one dresses seems to be like that for many sub-cultures. It's fine if that's how people want to express themselves, I'm not here to judge. It's when people start saying "I'm just being myself/ being unique" etc, that I just roll my eyes. But again, this aspect isn't limited to VK in my opinion. Just look at how all the trendy hipsters look the same. Scarf, colorful sunglasses, plaid shirt, how unique!!!

I think I'm a fairly "normal" guy and the music I listen to doesn't dictate who my friends are, what clothes I wear, or gawd forbid, the way I talk!

Luznaidy Kinzoku Ramirez D is my new drag name

and I really don't know, but the fandom is such a clusterfuck of weeaboo stupidity. If they were all born 10 years previously you could bet that they'd be sitting in their parent's basements crying to Slipknot or Korn, since all those shitty bands (unsraw, vajra, etcetc) are basically them.

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

Because they're retarded fucks. Never really understood why you would take japanese names either if you're not japanese *cough*demon android*cough*

[nekkichi 6043]

it's like superkawaii anime fandom 2.0 - merciless, pointless and clueless simultaneously

sug presence on that screenshot is pretty indicative too.

(not that those sugtards are really different from gagalusters, superbowl fans or metalhead nolifers, same lack of brains except dressed differently.)

[Zeus 7997]

That very picture is the reason why I don't say I listen to visual kei as much as I say "I listen to Japanese music" or "I listen to music from all over the globe". It's embarrassing to be associated with people like them. It's OK to be a fan of whatever it is you listen to but there's a difference between enthusiasm and pointless imitation and every person in that pic has gone so far past the latter I have no words to describe how pathetic their existence must be.

I've got friends up here that when I first told them went "LOL ANIME MUSIC". All those people do is reinforce the stereotypes. It took two years to tear that down somewhat.

Also, everyone in that picture discovered visual kei two weeks ago and thinks trading mindless American music for mindless Japanese music is an improvement overall. Approximately half of them will soon get tired of visual kei given a year and transition to mindless Korean music.

nyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaa, thanks for saying that ♥♥♥

[TheBistroButcher666 228]

They all get a gold star for retarded.

This is the reason why I hide my interest in Japanese/VK music in shame. I know there's that whole, don't be ashamed of who you are well fuck that I'm going to burn all my CDs

However, why is it that it's only with Visual Kei fans you see the facebook profiles with the stupid fake names and some VK guy as the profile picture? I have only seen this behavior with Visual Kei fans. I've never seen some metalhead guy named Frostbitten Goat Breeder with a picture of some dude from Immortal as his profile picture.

How are you finding these!?!?! Ahahahaha.

[nekkichi 6043]

immortal FB page -> recent status -> first page of people who liked it.

(I won't dive into mother monster's FB for more retards, but I think idiots population is more or less constant regardless of their obsessions.)

(Now that I think of death metal slash communities... )

[TheBistroButcher666 228]

It doesn't surprise me with Black Metal though, those fans are just as catty and bitchy as VK fans to be honest. You got those 14 year old fuckers that act like they were there with Varg when he was burning churches.

Anyway, we're derailing this aren't we?

I found the irony of this comment to be pretty amusing.

[nekkichi 6043]

I might actually create a superkawaii account full of Takeru and ms paint VK fisting fanart and add some of them, just for lulz.

Does Fabulous Neko sound good enough for FB or I should tone it down to Nyappi Nekotan?

[Number Girl 48]

Lol, that's golden.

Don't have an answer to your question, I'm just glad most of the stupidity is harbored on FB and the internet and not anywhere near where I live.

[LIDL 692]

meh, i'll be taking the opposite side in this matter,

cos most you you may need some reminder,

before going on complaining.

as someone who was in that phase, i surely will not deny it is looks silly for some other people.

But did they ever really care? No.

They just doing their thing.

And we just need to let them live.

If it's true, most of them are pre-teen then why should we worries much?

This range of age are the age of people that still trying to find who they really are,

so they often easily fell into one fad into another until they found what really is their hair.

As someone who ever young once, i am sure all of you had your own laughable moments,

don't deny it, although it may not be VK related.

So actually you already understand how it is to be a pre teen.

Yes, right now it might seem or feel annoying to you.

But it is not, for them, not for awhile at least.

As for adults who did this, idk, maybe it's their desires?

And in that case, why does it matters to you?

If you really care only with the music in the first place,

you will never found yourself complaining of any fandom.

Seriously. I'd say you actually care with this fandom, because you are too a part of it,

that's why you complaining,

that's why you chose to make fun of people who dressed like them VK musicians etc.

Cos they irritate you,

cos they makes you worries of the bad image of this fandom would getting bolder.

And every thing in life would had it's own fandom,

maybe you just don't realize it though you maybe part of it. Ahah revelation.

Srsly. It's like you getting a piece of fried egg for breakfast

and complaining how it already makes you fat after you chow it down

while in reality, a piece of fried egg have no impact whatsoever

to make one body gets any fatter. It's just in the mind, you know?

[Champ213 1858]

^ I agree with this for the most part.

Most of these weird folks are kids/adolescents. Let them be.

And personally I do not understand the obsession with fandom. I mean, it's not like I have to associate with them. At worst I will meet them at concerts and even then I was always very well able to avoid the most obsessed crowds by just staying out of the first few rows.

Oh yeah, and if you feel the need to hide you tastes in music because you fear your friends could think less of you, you probably need better friends.

[Guest]

judging people is fun and we all do it

[Seiji 156]

seen that too xD

But tbh I'm not sure what's worse - people who behave like 14year olds or people who overreact about those

I, for myself, really don't care, but what can I say, I mean look at me

[Maiku 4]

It's the same as any fandom.

[ramrod 108]

Why do people have to be part of a fandom. :S

I love vk, but i dont consider it a fandom as i am not obsessed because i have other interests and utlisie my time better >_>

[Senedjem 510]

I love japanese music because they have visual kei instead of normal americanized rock music

I cant wait to move to japan and be a visual kei musician and be famous
