Hyde says XP to all the sucky people

[gnutmeg]

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.

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.
