... no
...Wait, you mean it's not?
lol. I mean... I think its quite obvious, the difference between gothic and VK.
VK is a style, how you look, and carry yourself, however, Gothic, can be a style, or a genre. I would put no band under then musical genre "visual kei" because i don't think any such genre exsists musically. What I love about Japanese music is that there is a large variety, many bands i don't even know what to call them.
Moi dix Mois - Gothic Metal*, Classic influenced.
Dir en Grey - Trash, Rock
Malice Mizer - Gothic, Neo-Classical
*Gothic Metal is not Gothic. if a band is Gothic Metal, you can't call them just Gothic, because there is such a huge difference. Gothic Metal is the same as Black metal.
one band thats like impossible for me to genre-ize is Noir Fleurir.
...Diru definately has NO thrash in it. XD They're more like.. nu-metal. Malice Mizer, on the other hand.. they're just.. Malice Mizer.Amatsu~Naraku wrote:holylampposts wrote:Amatsu~Naraku wrote:thise reminds me of how amused i am when people call Moi dix Mois VK... hahahahahahahahaha

I didn't say X are VK. I said they are considered to have sparked VK and are therefore associated with it (I actually posted an example from a Japanese source) and that I find it surprising, given how sensitive Haruhiko is to being associated with VK, to the point of ditching promoters and even a Goth magazine that started to also feature VK bands, that he would associate himself with X under the circumstances.Priss wrote:I think it was Kaz and Geisha who brought up X, and that's a load of crock. X was never VK, I think. No one ever called Motley Crue, or WHITE SNAKE or any of those other hair metal bands Visual Kei. So saying X is, is kind of strange to me. ::kisaki::

Batcave?? I always thought they sounded a bit like the Sex Gang Children.Amatsu~Naraku wrote:one band thats like impossible for me to genre-ize is Noir Fleurir.
Kozi's the only reason I know them! If it weren't for Kozi, I wouldn't even know of Haruhiko's existance, most likely.rizumu wrote:I guess they resent the fact that VK fans are going to be attracted to them because of Kozi, but face it. Who would even know/care about them if not for Kozi. Probably not many people. That doesn't mean the fans don't appreciate the music either. It's just how they're introduced to it. I think it's ridiculous to alienate your fans like that. Bitch at the promoters, don't deal with them again, but play the damn concert.
It depends on how you define perform.performs
A great deal, there is the technical things like the camera work, lighting, editing and then the general feel of the era, clothing, makeup, buildings, furniture etc. It's like a little time-capsule.What has this all taught you about the aesthetics of early '90s adult videos? XD
Well, you know, is he on vocals or does he play his instrument?It depends on how you define perform.

The prices on the website are really whack, why is this room -Speaking of adults of the '90s, there's apparently at least one love hotel out there that's been around since Showa times, and is done up with an "European Renaissance" theme, complete with Venetian masks and babbling in French
I'm glad I'm not the only one that caught that.Wait, 14 years ago on this webzone did somebody call M10M black metal?
I liked New Obscurantis Order, everything outside of that, not so much.Anorexia Nervosa was terrible
They certainly did.didn't they cover X Japan once?
I think RMS Hreidmarr spoke about it at some point.Maybe they're into Japanese bands.
