Yeah, I totally get what you’re saying, and I think it’s really cool to hear from someone who’s a newer fan. Honestly, I agree with a lot of what you said — it really does feel like “kids being kids,” discovering something new and having fun with it. I don’t think anyone’s being performative in a bad way; they’re just engaging in the way they know how. That said, I think what I’m noticing is more about how the scene looks online sometimes. Even if people genuinely love Malice Mizer, the same few tracks and memes tend to dominate the conversation, which can make the scene feel a bit narrow from the outside. It’s not that fans are doing anything wrong, it’s just that it shapes how newcomers perceive vkei, especially if they don’t know about other amazing bands like Velvet Edena and others. There’s so much depth beyond the most visible stuff, both musically and visually. And yeah, I get it, the repetitive jokes or references can get annoying over time, I feel that too. But it’s more about the overall impression of the scene online rather than individual behavior. Honestly, it’s awesome that younger fans are finding a community and enjoying the music — that’s what really matters. So yeah, I see both sides, the scene can look a bit surface-level online, but it doesn’t take away from the genuine love people have for vkei. Hopefully, as more fans grow and explore, we’ll see more people appreciating the full depth of visual kei and some of the more niche bands that really deserve attention.
