I’m 13 years old, turning 14 in November, and I’ve been a vkei fan for over 6-7 years. I discovered vkei through anime. I hope there’s more vkei fans my age or around my age too 
My favorite artists / bands are Nightmare, X Japan, hide, Toshl, Yoshiki, Luna Sea, Dead End, Ladies Room, Miyavi, Hyde, Glay, Buck-Tick, Dir En Grey, Malice Mizer, Gackt, L’Arc en Ciel, Shazna, Fukuro, and Boøwy.
My favorite western artists are David Bowie, Marilyn Manson, Mötley Crüe, KISS, Queen, and Eminem.
Hey and welcome
Wow, 3 years older than my oldest kiddo.
I am amazed.
I do really have to ask something and I will maybe be blunt, but when were you aware that VKei is VKei?? Like…
Look counting here, you were around 7 when you got into VK, and VK has tons of graphic and heavy videos and stuff.
How heavy traumatized are you?
I mean… Around that time I was only really into Hyde and Yoshiki. I didn’t know much about vkei back than but I knew that I really enjoyed that kind of music back then. I wasn’t really exposed to the heavy graphics so I wasn’t traumatized. Even if I were exposed to heavy graphics at that age, I don’t think I would’ve been traumatized. 
Cool, thank you for the answer.
Like I’ve seen fans your age and even a few a year younger, but the time you mentioned you are into VK felt a little long.
When did you get aware or did get like actually into VKei?? That you expanded into Bands like Dir en Grey.
And hey, glad to have you here, always great to see young VK fans filling the ranks for the future.
When I was 9 I got more into it. I discovered Nightmare, X Japan, and Luna Sea, then over time I got into more, like how I got into Dir En Grey and the other band/artists I listed above.
