See the icon? IT'S RANT TIME, BOYS AND GIRLS!

[obsessionfreak]

A small anti-Diru-fandom moment brought to you by Vidoll and Xime:

1. Diru is not alone in this fucking world. Everyone 'rips off' everyone, so to speak. If Diru were truly original, then Kiyoharu would never exist, Yoshiki would have never cross-dressed and played the drums, and hide would never have had a mullet even resembling the colour pink

amen to that. x___o;;

[obsessionfreak]

That rant felt good, though~ <3

[obsessionfreak]

xDDDDDDD

Then, my friend, you are a lot better off then I am.

[andouxxdaisuke]

It's sad, because the whole Dir en Grey = J-newb thing is so true... xDDDD -Doesn't really like Diru... never really did to start with o-o;; -

[obsessionfreak]

Isn't it? XD I mean, I still consider myself a jrock newb, but I mock more then anything.

[melodies36]

I agree with you. I do like some of Dir en grey's stuff, but I'm not rabid. I've only heard a clip of Vidoll's music (from their web site), they do sound good.

[obsessionfreak]

xD I'm not rabid in anyfandom, I don't think--I can like it unhealthily, but if you start saying that xxxxxx sucks I won't mind.

Unless, of course, it's for an incredibly stupid reason such as 'they ripped off xxxxx'.

[melodies36]

I don't think I'm rabid in any fandom either, even Gackt. The 'they ripped off xxxxx' reason is incredibly stupid (especially since a lot of VK bands base their look on older bands).

[obsessionfreak]

I don't think I'm rabid in any fandom either, even Gackt.

I'm like you--I'll love htem, I"ll want to knwo things about them, I'll listen ot them and hell, maybe even RP as them, but I definitely won't get insulted if you say their music is bad.

And, when you think about it, everyone rips off /everything/.

Like wtf is up with the j-noob thing. Am I a J-noob? Does 2 years count? Shut up :P

[obsessionfreak]

I consider myself an educated J-n00b... and I'm exactly like you in terms of jrock liking, so you are, too, I'd guess.

My definition of a j-n00b is someone who hasn't heard much music by any jrock bands--which is fine, but if you're going to gripe about something without giving them an honest listen.....

Watch, I'm going to make no sense and arguments will ensue. xD

[_leeda]

Well of course arguments are going to ensue

[obsessionfreak]

Wow. I'm not even going to bother arguing.. O_o;
