Yeah, that's not really musically very offensive? It's kinda risible and lame as hell, but that's hardly what we're shooting for here. I'd listen to this over Attack! Attack! or any of their ilk in an instant, frankly. Hell, it's better than most of the fucking nu metal bands kids were listening to back in my day, let alone the shit THE KIDS THESE DAYS are in to.

You don't find this offensive? Did you get to the part where he started rapping?

I dunno, this is more than just the sum of it's parts to me. It feels like it's trying to cram literally every single aspect of trash-culture into one band and one song in the most cynical way possible. I can't even bring myself to listen to it all the way through, which I've done more than once with Stick Stickly and several other tunes. I guess we probably disagree on what is worse. I think Attack Attack and such at least suck entertainingly, which is worth more to me than something like this, which is just hack-work of the highest order. I also feel like most of the rave-core (or whatever you call it) stuff is the product of some really eager kids with horrible taste in everything, while this feels more to me like something which is just all artifice, very deliberately constructed to appeal to as many dumb assholes with loose cash as possible. Similarly, while both songs/bands are horrible pastiches of completely mismatched genres, at least the ravecore kids are trying something relatively new. It kind of blows me away that there are still bands out there humping nu-metal's dessicated corpse in 2010.

also, the video has a guy from Slipknot in it!

So, apparently the Japanese have picked up on this as well.

It is disconcerting how closely that band modelled themselves off Attack Attack. They have basically the same hairstyles, and outfits, the screamy dude yelling something unintelligable, they do the running man move, and the crab core move. They don't have as many breakdowns, but the autotuning is most definitely there with some added effects that make the words too hard to understand. I think the guy is singing in English, but it is so hard to understand I just pretended it was Japanese and it made no difference to the song.

Not okay.  It was a joke in bad taste, that some could find offensive.

Okay. Seeing as I am more or less impossible to genuinely offend myself, I have a hard time seeing the problem. I do however understand that some may be more sensitive to that than others, so I apologize.

But in all seriousness, I really do think that's what happened to some extent. Some record label exec in japan saw that this madness was becoming popular, sort of, and decided to create a group for themselves to profit on. I simply refuse to believe music like this happens "naturally".

I am torn because it is a bad joke in poor taste but also probably 100% what happened.

I mean "gaijin rike this, raito?" is a thing that I hear with amazing regularity.

Not exactly complex or clever humour but can we just be offended for once rather than decrying a minor slight?

No, they actually do when they think in English. It is a product of how they are taught in the public school system. Though textbooks usually hve examples in the roman alphabet, most japanese people do not know how to read it properly, so accompanying furigana (phonetic reading aids) are used and the word is effectively transliterated to and learned in the japanese syllabary. As a result of this, your average japanese english speaker (which really only comprises a very small percentage of the population) will talk and think like that whenever english is used.


I do want to note that this is all an aside to the actual joke issue.

Well, I just think english with accents is hilarious, and that is all there is to it. This video could have from any other country that ham-fistedly apes American culture, not necessarily just Japan. If I had made the same joke, but with a German accent, would people have reacted the same?  :psyduck:

I would, actually. I think the german accent is waaaay funnier.

Oh god now the idea of a german band playing this shit has popped into my head. And I know it will happen soon. Oh god no.
