You're right. They were upset that, heaven forbid, people can write stuff that isn't dark and depressing. I really don't think people know well-written music when it smacks them upside the head. It doesn't help that people can't appreciate the lyrics side of things, either, since lots of people are almost proud of their ignorance of the language.
Well the problem is, mucc's lyrics are mostly beautiful(oh they were before, but in a different way) and not angst filled ever since 2005. But "fans" are too stupid and need a catchy feel to it :/. I don't -fully- understand the lyrics, and I tend to read translations done by people I can trust, at least. Something people find too difficult to do it seems.
I'd rectify what you mean, if it were -my- feelings, I'd rather say, 95% of the internet japanese music fanbase. They're so biaised and I don't think most of them realize how the industry truly is in Japan, so it just really sucks.
I'd say you're right; in most of my face-to-face discussions people are a lot more polite and say much less stupid things. Not ALWAYS though. :-P (Riz and I have a story about a girl we both met at separate times... *shudder*)[/quote]
I think this deserves me bashing someone (again) that I met at Otakon 2006. To put you in situation, the Utagoe PV had start spreading on the internet in the night before the convention. No one seemed to notice, but my geeky self and making sure there is wireless internet at my hotel, looked up and found it on The Devil(youtube) in the morning, before going to the convention.
Getting in line for the press conference (or how to get infront of at least 200 fangirls because I have good friends, muahaha), I felt somewhat alone in this english world (i'm french) when my friends decided to go buy some coffee. Noticing some fat blonde infront of me ( I'm not being insulting, I'm being nice ), I told myself " oh my, I need to talk about Utagoe to someone! "(having a japanese translator in my hotel room, she was nice enough to translate the lyrics vaguely).
We engaged conversation. Or my first encounter with a retard(fangirl). Explaining to her what I had seen, and how the song was awesome, and about how beautiful the world is, also explaining the video ( and how tatsuro looks like he's 12 ), she was in awe. Her answer was " I know my MUCC, their last pv is Ryusei, I know my MUCC, don't try to look cool! I know
my Tatsurou . Needless to say, I was baffled, and just stopped talking to her, saved by the almighty Odin, coming back from coffee and saying out loud "You're waisting your time with that b*tch!".
I have so many stories about Otakon.
This is seriously a case of "how to hate MUCC" haha.
