They have so many good songs tho. Really solid discography overall imo, and I’m normally very picky with bands myself.
Search up MUCC - DFD on spotify and give it a try.
I have always disliked Alice Nine myself, mostly because of Shou who is a terrible vocalist.
Seconding MUCC. I’ve been told many times their early stuff is more up my alley, but I haven’t really taken the time to check that out. Their more popular stuff isn’t for me at all, my brain actively rejects their music.
I’d probably say XAAXAA. Nothing personal against the members It’s just…The music, IMO, is very mediocre.
EDIT: I say this,as I’ve praised them on this forum before but…They’re just not that good.
The first thing I ever disliked about Hiro from Nocturnal Bloodlust was his nose reminds me of someone smelling leaked battery acid or their own B.O. and hating it
An from Xaa-Xaa. Idk the band that well but he looks just not good in the Aryutuu MV. he looks like he farts and burps obnoxiously. Idk he just gives me that vibe
Personally, I have an irrational dislike of DADAROMA. It’s just that something about their soundtracks doesn’t appeal to me. The only songs that I like from them is Risley Circus and Yume Tarareba.
Malice mizer.
like they get praised so much for their music meanwhile in a lot you hardly hear the actual instruments. And the fandom has always certain simps which makes it painful to me to ever see the face of Mana because it reminds me of them.
(I am sure there are also Sane Mana fans, this is not directly directed at anyone)
literally the same reason I avoid white kamijo/versailles legacy stans irl lmao, if you dive too deep into that community it’s practically impossible to separate the actual artist from the fuckery
Mana is the scene veteran and a legend but liiiiiiiiiiiike their fans are the literal “lemme fetch that redbull crate and a quill pen rly quick I have 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓯𝓮𝓮𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼” meme
I remember chuckling just a little bit when The Other Mana Fans showed up in the comment section for some delightfully dumb brotube-tier episode on visual kei, those were good times
Listen I love Versailles, Hizaki, Kamijo and the guys around them. They manage to make music and visuals of my exact aesthetic, so they’re a big influence on me. But I’m not kissing their butt on SNS 24/7 and making them my whole personality. If people ask me about my clothing style I’ll probably show Kamijo, Teru and Yuki to them (Yuki is one of my hair inspo’s together with Tokai Junji)
I personally have barely any contact with other fans, so I wouldn’t know. I just know that on most Kamijo SNS posts there’s this lady who keeps acting like they’re a couple or smth. So obviously I stay away from that,
