I came back to say that just now I discovered that Nocturnal Bloodlust have a song called "macho of the world" and there I was hoping to see the lyrics since they are usually in english but this one is in japanese. Damn
Someone, anyone know where I can find the translation for this? Or know if it is as precious as I think it is?
Also, I'm always excited to hear they singing in japanese, can't wait to listen to the song. It's from august...
I've been living under a rock this year because I had no internet conection at home nor time at work to do non-worky things, and it finally came back some days ago, there's another reason I'm back and hopefully to stay, oh, also, I'm finishing college this year, hooray. I'll be back to my precious music listening habits hopefully.
I google macho of the world (without specifying the band's name since the title sounded pretty exclusive to them) at work and a bunch of gay porn showd up.
 
Hello again to all. And nice to meet you all again, I suppose I'm not very known here.

Recently I discovered these:
 
 
Sorry if there's already a post like this, but I couldn't find it...

Holly fuck
 
To me is mental illness, I've been in and out some diagnosis because I've being told I have symptoms of personality disorders and stuff, but the official ones are major psychotic depression, anxiety with panic attacks, social and agoraphobia and OCD since childhood, and I basically have no life due to those, and of course, no acceptance from family and friends due to stigma. I'm also suicidal, duh. My social phobia is more because of paranoia and how I don't handle my emotions.
 
I also have a tinnitus and a feet problem that get in the way sometimes but aren't real disabilities to me.
 
Sorry to hear about all your problems, about Nyasagi's problem even though mine isn't as bad I can relate with people dismissing it.
 
 
Dude ;-;
 
I wish I could hug you all.
 
If anyone ever needs to vent and receive support give it a chance to talk to me, it bothers me that some people have to go through these things alone.
 
Edit.: apparently picky eating is viewd as a eating disorder now, not that this is a disability but I guess it's interesting to mention, I basically throw up anything I eat, so I don't eat much and avoid any social gathering, it's annoying as fuck. Are there more people like this around here?

I'll be adding more stuff I find useful and organize it better later...

While OP and ChemicalPictures have exellent points worth discussing, I'll have to side with Panda, Cat and a few others on this.
 
Music taste is something very subjective and personal (unless you exclusively listen to hits on the radio, then you literally have no taste for any genre) and why people like this music or that music and stan this or that band is going to probably depend on a whole shitload of stuff.
 
Personally, as a linguist and simultaneous interpreter, I like the sound of some languages more than others and, as Panda, voice and phonetics play a very important role when choosing music I like. It is undeniable that Japanese phonetics are softer than some other's and I will most likely prefer to listen to a Japanese, French or Russian band over a germanic-language band (which doesn't keep me from listening to them either). It's the same reason why I don't dig screamo bands, no matter the country they come from.
 
That doesn't mean there won't be weeabos that will listen to anything Japanese ONLY because it's from Japan just like there's some people that don't listen to Adele songs that weren't on the radio more than 20 times a week. If anything, I think people listen more to VK than western rock/metal because the "pretty boys" (coughphotoshoppedcough) ratio there is bigger, not because of "deep lyrics" and "omgz I luv Japanz!!1!"
 
I don't think it's a matter of hypocrisy (if that were the case, why not call hypocrytes those metal fans that refuse to listen to NokuBura or Deviloof BECAUSE they wear make up?), it's much boarder than that. 
 
Though you could always do a poll about reasons for vk preference here and one on that gaijingya-filled fb group and compare answers. It will both answer your questions and disgust you.
 
Cheers.
 
PS: I really like celtic music. Anyone else? 

This should be M-H's slogan LOL

Hey
So
 
I entered the forum some years ago with the main intention of helping with my social phobia, I guess no one knows me because I left it but now I'm back hopefully to stay. May I ask you to please be nice to me? I feel sick to my stomach when I receive a response online..........
I felt the need to start another introduction topic because I think I changed a lot during this time, this is kind of a new start to me, I can delete my old post (or can I?) if it's wrong to start another one.
I'm also kind of dumb and awkward, so don't mind some weird things I may say or do, sorry in advance...
 
I like mostly heavy stuff, be it rock, metal, electronic/industrial, punk, things that end in core, I love the screaming and the noises, but most things are disappointing me, specially in JRock, I was thinking of migrating to other genre like grindcore until I found Deviloof, so I'm giving it another chance... I also like discovering new genres like thall, japanoise or whatever and watching different and unusual things (Die Antwoord is a guilty pleasure of mine...), so if you find anything interesting and feel like sharing with someone, here I am~
 
My favorite bands are Dir en grey, Plastic Tree, Kagrra,, Mucc, Nocturnal Bloodlust (which reminds me that probably Deviloof will enter this list), The Piass, Sukekiyo, Kiryu, Ikd-Sj and recently I discovered Xaa-Xaa, Archemi and Kuroyuri To Kage, that I'm liking a lot too. I love traditional japanese things, so if you know more bands that use japanese instruments I'll appreciate if you show it to me. I'll also appreciate if you can recommend me more heavy bands like NB and Deviloof...
 
I hope it wasn't a waste of your time to read what I wrote, thanks for reading it.

I'm really liking the new album, they seem to be mixing their old style with the new, bringing the old stuff I missed so much back...

Y'all don't know how to act. It would be nice if some of you could actually form some coherent arguments instead of attacking each other. Thread closed.

People here really think's it's ok to dislike people for their sexual orientation and do homophobic comments?
No, it's not.
It's not ok to make racist comments.
It's not ok to make fun of a person because of his body.
NOT OK.
 
NOT OK  
 
Jeez, this is worst than i thought. 
I'm pretty much disappointed 

One thing is saying "OUR BAND IS THE SAVIOUR OF THE VISUAL KEI", being homophobic, sexist, pedo and stuff like "i hate fat people" to his fans.
It's completly different. So yeah, we are suddenly burning the witch cuz he suddenly said that stuff?
 
 
He's just making fun o the people who felt bad for that. He said "I have some apology words" and then an image written "NO I DON'T"
 
 
I know right! Thank you!
 
WTF? What's your problem dude?
F**k if it's his opinion. He's a fuck'n opinion former, HE SHOULD KEEP IT TO HIMSELF.
Cause yeah, these words kill people. Saying homophobic stuff makes people thinks its ok to hate them and that's why there's lots of LGBT dying over the world.
NOW IT'S OK BEING NEONAZIST, BECAUSE IT'S JUST THEIR OPINION THEY'RE NOT LITERALLY KILLING ANYONE RIGHT?
Duuuuuuuuh
 
 
Thank you for existing. I'm surprised about how people are ignorant over here.
 
 
I'm sorry for you babe. I would never feel okay using my money to support some human trash like this.
 

straight men fetishize lesbians & hate on gay men so often it's disgusting; straight women do the opposite just the same.
but that's not an excuse for this being acceptable, because it isn't. yet i'm not surprised by any of this because it's unfortunately such a common mindset for so many people ://

he just hasn't met the right ugly bald guy to break into that loli-chasing bussy ((UwU))) 
 

I don't understand why people still idolize serial killers, especially in this day and age. They send these criminals letters in prison like it's fanmail, but they also fangirl about them on social media as they would their favorite band or whatever. I even have a friend who idolizes Richard Ramirez and reblogs pictures of him on tumblr like he's some hot guy or something.
 
I'm a huge fan of crime stuff, and I was quite fascinated by certain serial killers, but because of how evil they really are, it never escalated to the point of admiration for them. What we often forget is that these people actually killed, ie, took the lives of other people and destroyed their families, usually with no remorse for their actions. How would these families feel, knowing that their loved ones' killer is being treated as just another popular figure and having lots of fans? The media coverage on serial killers definitely doesn't help, as it gives them more exposure and notoriety, and inspires more would-be killers who are looking to achieve that same notoriety. Looking at all this, it's no surprise that we're probably the leading nation for most homicides. We have got to stop romanticizing murderers so this kind of shit would happen less often and that the world would be more safe and definitely more sane.
 
And that's my thought for tonight.

newbies be all like:
 

This incident was just absolutely revolting.  I've been seeing/hearing the whole "black ppl can't be racist" rhetoric around for years now (both on and offline) and as much as I understand and empathize with the pain and strife of living as a black person, I think this is an INCREDIBLY heinous notion that would be better off eradicated from the collective conscious. It's an idea that's yet to do any good for black people, or society as a whole - just like our vehement grip on "the N word" - where we've employed equally ridiculous double standards (but I guess that's another can of worms). I think this event serves as very unfortunate evidence that blacks can, indeed, be racist and hateful. 
 
I have no idea where this country is headed, but I can only hope that people wake up, start thinking for themselves, and stop subscribing to all of these extraordinarily divisive ideologies. I understand perfectly well how easy it is to get sucked up into the emotional aspects of everything, but I think it's important that we all try to remain grounded and suitably objective in these cases. I think we also have to stop allowing the media to rouse us into these states of utter chaos and letting them control the narrative - especially when the common good and the well-being of the people are not on their agenda. Seriously, I mean...the amount of hate that erupted when Trump won the presidency was staggering. Most of my friends on the left became as hateful and intolerant as the same people on the right that they were opposed to.  But I digress.
 
When it comes to race relations, we REALLY need to have some open and honest talks about it as a collective - free from political correctness, and free from everyone jumping at "racist" shadows. I do think there are racial differences, but it's become racist in and of itself to even mention or acknowledge these differences. It reminds me of when I posted a profile pic with my afro out on FB - a white woman commented saying that she'd like to touch my hair, and a black woman quickly chimed in with, "that's racist".  See...this type of shit can't happen. I'm a black male - my hair is super thick, and extremely curly - it's a completely different grade and texture than that of your average white woman's hair. How could I fault her for being curious about how it feels? That doesn't make her racist at all. Hell,  even if we were in person and she touched my hair without permission, that wouldn't be racist either - it would just be incredibly rude lol.
 
We can't keep shutting down the conversation before there's even any dialogue. And this doesn't just go for black people, or white people, or leftists,  or conservatives - this goes for everyone. There has to be some REAL effort in this country made for people to open up and truly try to understand each other, but as of now, I know a push like this will neither come from the government nor the media - there are too many people profiting off of the chaos, and too many people have careers depending on these divisive narratives.
 

It was already said but I think it deserves to be said more often: I can't stand Babymetal.
I don't usually hate on bands so I feel a little guilty for saying this... But gosh how I hate them. I think it's a shame they mix the pop thing because the instrumentals alone are good.
 
 
Also Kiryu fans saying they wish there was more bands like that but when there is some people complain they are ripping Kiryu...
 

a friend just made me watch babymetal
 
fuck babymetal

lol that's Ryutaro

I like any holiday that
1. gives me a day off from work
2. does not require me to say holiday greetings
3. does not require me to buy/receive gifts & cards
4. does not require me to attend parties or gatherings
 
So that's like.. Labour Day, Victoria Day, Civic Holiday, Family Day, Canada Day. Most of those are Canada-specific work holidays, but you get my point.
 
The WORST holiday, by far, is Christmas. As someone who's worked in retail before, there are very few things I hate more than Christmas carols and having to say/hear "Merry Christmas" 500 times during every day of the "holiday season".
