I canāt comment on which band is the worst because music taste is highly subjective. Everyone has different preferences and evaluations of music, and music has different values āāin different periods and cultures. A band may be considered classic by some and not to their liking by others.
Music is an art form that allows artists to express their emotions, opinions and ideas. Each band has its own unique sound and style, and their music can trigger different emotions and resonances, depending on the listenerās personal experiences and preferences.
In terms of music evaluation, the best way is to respect everyoneās views and preferences, keep an open mind, and try different types and styles of music to expand your musical horizons. Even if a band isnāt to someoneās taste, their music can profoundly affect someone else, and thatās the beauty of music.

Some of these takes I gotta agree with 100% and it makes me happy that some people still have some standards. Dazzlingbad or like robokaeru are so bad that it is kind of their gimmick right? so I cannot really mention them as being terrible/weird is their selling point maybe.
There have been some bands I have played with over the years that made me think āwhat in the actual f*** am I looking at???ā probably the worst overall was DEVILbarats (not really vkei but vkei adjacent)
they were so bad and then the singer girl went to dead center front row after their set and proceeded to do super dramatic furi in an annoying way like ālook at me still!!ā when other band was playing. It annoyed one of our fans so much that she went vkei karen mode.

Gosh, I watched the live of Devilbarats and it was quite bad

haha right? my brain legit erased the memory of their sound to protect myself.
Dazzlingbad, canāt stand the whiny ass robotic voice of the vocalist. Makes it unlisteneable for me. The whole thing just seems like a waste.
Usually I really like it and find it interesting when vocalists experiment with their voice and do all sorts of wacky stuff with it, but in this case it just sounds like an angry mosquito trying to enter my ear canal and I hate it.

JILUKAā¦ their guitar sounds āplasticā, almost āGuitar Proā like lol. nothing wrong with the tracks, but the mastering is kinda questionable for me.
even though, I still love them cuz Iām a corekid. as a Chinese proverb goes āē±ä¹ę·±ļ¼č“£ä¹åā.

one of the worst projects ive ever heard in life is mononoke rengou and kanashivariā¦ and bands like sick2, vivarush, and idrk any other kira kira bands will always be visually and musically the worst thing about visual keiā¦
please I agree
MEJIBRAY, in my opinion, their music was soulless and i canāt stand the voice of Tsuzuku.

As someone who liked VanessA and followed Genki/Tzk into MEJIBRAY and became a bit obsessed (still own a lot of their cds, dvds and saw them live in Jp), they lost me when they went into hiatus and 8P-SB was formed. It for sure did not help getting into discussions with other Meji fans on Twitter, it became clear to me that they only cared about the visuals/appearance and seemed not to care about the obvious change in music. 8P-SB music was, to me, awful. Sry.
Back on topic - I never understood the hype with An CafƩ back then.

Music is subjective. Hell, my friend and I clash bc D is her favourite band and A9 is my favourite. I donāt like Asagiās voice (it activates some form of panic in me???) and she doesnāt like Shouās. (I also donāt like tanbi kei- the closest I like is Jinsei Game by Avanchick and even then, that doesnt count imo)
that being said my general (personal) opinion is Roid in Shadow by Seeles klar unend but even then I blast it when Iām cleaning. so???
im also an unapologetic enjoyer of No Offense, tooth fairy, missionary, and Anthem by Trembling Bambi, like that shit is my JAM and i WILL turn down for it on the daily. so very clearly, i enjoy shit kei.
i also genuinely enjoy Hello Katty by Devil Kitty; it feels comforting like sleep paralysis to me
but seeles klar unend takes the cake. i WISH i couldve heard fakkin A by idiot, but i think its gone off youtube forever, and i cry every single day

Itās good to see a fellow Trembling Bambi enjoyer. This is actually the first time I see someone acknowledging that they like Koichiās work.

It goes so hard for no reason??? And like if it makes him happy and itās what he wants to do, you go koichi, you preach your motherfuckin anthem and those who like it get it.
even if itās bad lyrically (āwhip your hair like willow smithā āafter party on the south sideā ā¦ where the hell is the south side koichi???) musically it slaps and if you played it in a club i guarantee people would be dancing their hearts out. like i played missionary for some non-vkei friends on a roadtrip recently and we ALL were cardancing to the chorus drop and it was a nice bonding moment!
making music isnāt easy. i say this as someone who is friends with a lot of musicians, both famous and basement. and even the ābadā music can have some good parts of it (you cannot deny that Maria Cross banging on his synth rapidly but somehow making it sound near surf-rock levels is impressive. when i bang on the synth it sounds like 13 feral cats fighting outside a garbage disposal plant). and as we grow older, tastes change, the industry changes, styles change.
i love seeing these threads here because we all get insight and can have an actual discussion unlike other places, and even someone insulting someone elseās faves is āyknow, fair pointā with rationality.

Everything with Kiyoharu (kuroyume etc): Iāve tried him out a few times since he is supposed to be one of the ālegendsā in the jrock/vkscene. I tried his newest solo album - and I just canāt stand him, sorry. He is a TERRIBLE singer and I donāt particularly find the compositions catchy/melodic either. Someone on here said he sounds like a dying sheep whe he singsā¦
-
Sorry but Alice Nine was always a terrible band for me, even though they had some good stuff. I remember liking songs like Stargazer and Gemini 0 at the time, or why not shunkashutou (super nostalgic)?! So yeah the songwriting was not bad but here we goā¦ the vocals destroyed it all. Shou is just an absolutely TERRIBLE singer and he didnāt even improve with time, for like 10 yearsā¦ If they had a better singer it would have been a totally different story. ----- Nightmare is almost in the same category as A9 - they have good memorable songwriting but Yomi is at least in my opinionalso a bad vocalist, but not as bad as Shou who is awful. (So I listen to and enjoy nightmare alot, yomi is just okay, but I canāt stand him live, sorryā¦)

Kyoās dog band petitet brabacon
They have like one good song being Kodou but I more or less dislike (hate) everything else, and with their newest release they proved that they have no intentions to release any memorable music. That new single is 2/10 traaaash. Just stop Kyoā¦ its your worst side project yet, you dont need 3 bandsā¦ -
Hydeās solo stuff. Just generic and forgettable. Without Tetsu who is the one who wrote the classic laruku songs, Hyde is lost, generic, boring and looks bored.
-
Everything with Hazuki. Again this is just because its generic and all music melts together. Listen to lynchās latest EP, all the songs more or less sound the same. I think one reason is how Hazuki sings during the choruses, the voice/effect he uses. While Hazuki isnt a particularly bad singer, the songwriting is weak. The opposite of Alice Nine.
-
Miyavi, I now realize I am only mentioning generic artists so I should end hereā¦ But Miyavi is another artist who yet has made a really memorable catchy song according to me. You might tell me one if ive missed.
I am sorry if I stepped on someoneās toes but these are just my opinions. By the way if you think I am someone who complains alot, if you wonder what kind of bands I like here are some - DeG (wow so unique! lol, but then let me say I wish that people discovered their hidden gem songs in their discography, that not often people talk about. There are soo many good ones.), Mucc (still think they deliver, like listen to their new song 99 on youtube, good stuff), Buck Tick, The Back Horn and more. Also more mainstream rock/pop bands like Glay, Porno Grafittti, the alfee, to mention a few, are all great bands with awesome discographies.
Peace to you all!

@Baroque Recent Kiyoharu stuff isnāt very good, but the Kuroyume albums up to Feminism are peak 90s VK. If youāve only tried his solo stuff, you should give those a look.
