gnutmeg | Hyde says XP to all the sucky people

Yo. When did the L'Arc~en~Ciel and Hyde fandoms explode and why did they only attract idiots? They're starting to look scarily like the Gackt fandom... (not that all Gackt fans are idiots, I know quite a few great ones, but there are a lot you must admit) ...I'm not even going to start on the gakuhai fandom.

You know, it's probably my fault. Two Hyde fans starting the gakuhai community... yeah... far too influential for our own good, I fear.

I have to say, I'm glad to hear that

larcenciel has instituted new rules similar to those we've had at gxh for a while. Almost makes a girl want to go back to the community. Now if only

_hydeist were to install such rules. But, alas, the mods there are still fairly new to the fandom. ~~And started as Gackt fans. Suddenly everything is crystal clear.~~

What I really want to know is why the "Hyde" community is dedicated to primarily Laruku and gakuhai? I mean... shouldn't it be about Hyde's solo career? There's already much better and older communities for the other two.

Just a thought. If I've offended anyone. Well. Tough. Get a thicker skin.

Well, this is just my opinion, but I think it might have to do with MoonChild being released. I remember alot of "OMG, Moonchild's awesome and I discovered Gackt(and/or) Hyde and they're so sexy together!...They make music too right?" Posts in dears/gakuhai after that.

I think Hyde is cool, but I don't really like Laruku. I haven't heard little of Hyde's solo stuff, so I can't say anything about that.

As for Gackt, I like most of his stuff, his persona's very entertaining, and yes, he's attractive. >.> I can't deny that I find GacktxHyde much more entertaining than dears.

I've got no clue what type of fan I am or if what I do or say would piss off both of them, but I hope not.^^;

Yeah... I noticed many of those, too. Although I'm sure Hyde's making a lot of money off Gackt's fanbase... I don't think he's being properly appreciated anymore.

...*nearly dies of shock* You haven't even heard Hyde's solo? I may have to fix that issue. I loved Hyde's solo on first listen, but it took me most of a year before I really got into Laruku. Gackt... I just don't like. >.> I agree that his persona is great, but once you step out of gakuhai, I have little to no interest in him.

Personally, I joined the gakuhai fandom around the time that MoonChild came out in theatres in Japan. When they were still doing interviews and such, you know? When I bought Roentgen, it was only about a year old. 666 was new and exciting news. A lot of "fans" these days haven't been around that long, they don't have any history and they don't seem to care. As long as he's hot and they can get his music for free. I bet if they saw one of my reviews or essays, they would be confused when I started referring to the lyrics and their meanings.

Sorry. I'm just quite disappointed in where the fandom is going, in general. I fell in love with Hyde because of his solo work and it gets so overlooked...

You haven't even heard Hyde's solo?

Besides Hello and Shallow Sleep, nope. It's on my list of things to investigate along with Malice Mizer (I'm like...working backwards with everything^^;). I was planning on looking into that next after I got Chacha's Air album e_e;; I haven't had a job in forever so money for albums are not rolling in. =_= I have a big chunk of Laruku on a cd a couple years ago...I didn't even know he went solo till I started hanging out at the GakuHai community.^^;;

*patpat* :/

:O *just keeps sort of staring at you* Ok. I'm thinking I may have to send you a CD full of mp3s, both Malice and Hyde. Those were like 2 of my first 5 artist obsessions. o.o

o_O Really? ;_; That'd be wonderful. TT_TT And I think my friend might have a brain hemmorage if I tell him that, cos he loves Bel Air. Um, I could send you Buck-Tick in return~, or maybe draw you something...*ish lame* As you can imagine, I have little to no music to swap, so... T_T;

I'm not terribly fond of Buck-Tick >.> besides, I don't really want anything. I love sharing music and introducing people to new bands or work they might not be aware of. I'm always happiest when I addict someone to one of my favourites. ;) (Needless to say you might start hearing a lot of advertising for speena, OLIVIA and Bonnie Pink soon...)

*cough* >_>;...I'm not even going to say how little I've heard of them, just cos I don't want more staring.^^;;

If it's okay, I will email you an address, once I figure out which one to use. >.> Thank you very much.<33

I'd be more surprised if you had heard of those ones, actually... ^^;

Of course~ and I'll probably end up sending you other random samplings, too. I believe being well-rounded in listening is important.

I loved Hyde's solo on first listen, but it took me most of a year before I really got into Laruku.

I guess I'm backwards. I started out liking laruku back in 1999 or so, and then when hyde came out with his solo albums, I didn't listen to them at all until when 666 came out (end of 2003?), THEN I bought 666 and went back and bought Roentgen. And then I also went back and watched Moon Child, but I still don't care to know anything about Gackt.

I got into the fandom late, in general (early 2003), and a lot of my previous musical influences had me more drawn towards the image Hyde protrayed in his solo than his work with Laruku. And yes, 666 came out Dec 3, 2003, so. ^^;;

I think most people started and Laruku and worked to the solos, not the other way around. ^^;; And I don't blame you for not being interested in Gackt. I think I only sort of like maybe 5 or 6 of his songs and I've heard practically everything he's done.
