...because I felt like doing this meme.

The idea is to go to the page of your number one artist, and follow the link of its number one similar artist, then repeating that for this artist and so on, noting down each artist as you go. Do this until you've got to 50 artists (not including your number one). If you get any repeats, just go to the second similar artist or the nearest one that you haven't already had.

As a little addition:

I have a big problem with visual kei: I enjoy it very much, but I can’t exactly tell what it is.

It has been almost a decade listening to visual kei bands and many of them seem completely unrelated. On Tonberry Torrents, about 2 years ago, I started a topic called "What visual kei truly is... (I don't know anymore)" in an attempt to find out what's the real nature of VK: Music genre, subculture, just fashion? That was the first time I tried to end this issue that troubles me so much, but the discussion never lead to a conclusive answer and I stopped reading the replies some time after I started the topic.

My only source for everything visual kei-related is the internet. I’m part of this virtual community that enjoys visual kei, but has never sensed what it’s like in japanese culture; the crucial experience! Everything I read on the internet seems created by people who also happen to only know visual kei by this virtual world that didn’t start the movement.

What are the origins of visual kei?

Hello Katty

ほら×４想像通り君は　　　そこ×４に何書いてるの？
あら×４またまた妄想して　ゲラ×４頭狂ちゃったの？
ダメ×４そんな事ばっかりしてたら　何時まで起っても彼氏なんて出来やしない
うざ×４がられて終わりの人生　　　君だって送りたくないでしょ？？
とりあえずすぐに妄想やめたら、ＰＣに向かって真実書きなさい！！「私、本当はあの人とセックスなんてしてないの（泣）ごめんなさい（＞＜）」
久しぶりコンニチワ妄想ちゃん♪　君は何時もず～っとイタイ子ちゃん♪
そんな君達が大好きな僕等も仲間ね★
そこでもう少し待っててね♪　ずっとずっとそこで待っててね♪
きっともうすぐ僕等は君達の元へ帰るから・・・
そんなの無い無い！本当は君達をブッコロシに行くからＰＣ磨いて待ってろよ？！
なんだかんだ言っても感謝しています。結局君等がいて僕等もいる。
どっちか一つが欠けたら終わりね、ＣＤ売れない、動員一桁（＞＜）
近頃はどうですか？妄想ちゃん♪　僕はちょっぴり寂しかったよ・・・
皮肉ばっかり言ってるけどね、本当は・・・。
ずっと待っててくれて有り難う、きっときっとすぐに帰るから。だからもう一言だけ言わせてね？「モウソウヤメロ！！」
有り難う妄想ちゃん♪　有り難うイタイ子ちゃん♪
何だか嬉しくなって来ました～～★☆★
本当に会いたかったよ？冷たくしてゴメンネｍ（＿　＿）ｍ
今度また会える日ガ来るまで「サ・ヨ・オ・ナ・ラ」



アンチお洒落系 (anti oshare kei)

どこがお洒落か知りませんが
みんな同じ服着まわして
みんな同じ曲を使いまわし、使いまわし、使いまわし
使いまわしの曲に乗せられ　使いまわしのバンド替えして
そんな君もそろそろ頭を冷やして目を開きなさい

何がお洒落か知りませんが
みんな同じバンドの名前
みんなひらがなみんなカタカナみんな同じ斜めの言葉
みんな同じカッコのくせに「俺のパクリだ」「俺のパクリだ」
何処の誰だか知りませんが　お前じゃねぇだろ糞バンド！！

お洒落ウザイ！（オイ!!）　お洒落ウザイ！（オイ!!）

お洒落がキライなわけじゃないけれど皆で同じ服着てるくせに
お互い悪口書いてるのなんて何が楽しいのか
いつまで続くのか解らないけど
流行も廃れて君たち終わる
…

I was bored, sue me.
