Parents and JRockers

[Godisinvincible]

I don't know My dad doesn't care either...

 

[Dr. Warumono]

My mum likes Klaha and Mana, only for thier looks at the moment.... She thinks that they're handome ^^... I have to make her listen to their music, I hope she'll like them!!

 

[Riyko]

If you've read the Diru thread you'll know my mom loves jrock. My mom's been ok with it for a long time. I just showed her pictures and she's like their very beautiful men.

My dad was ok with it too, he's just like whatever you like. He knew they we're men too.

 

[Hana in Plaid]

Its my Mom, my Dad, my Brother and my Aunt -.-;;
Ack why can't they just accept that I like Jrock?

 

[Davey]

Interesting thread!

I do not listen to Jrock, but to other Japanese music, and when other Dutch people here that they sometimes look at me with strange faces, and ask why......

I think it is cool to not always be STANDARD, listen to BSB, BRitney Spears or Beyonce like all the rest


@brokencat: please do not use the threads to much as a chatbox.

 

[jounetsu]

my dad is the most charming...

me : *staring at videos on youtube*
dad: you've been staring at that girl screaming for hours!
me : um dad it's kyo and he's a MAN.
dad: ...

 

[klick]

my dad likes diru,blood and myv
my stepmother is a big fan of x-japan^^

 

[Godisinvincible]

One thing is good with my mum though, she doesn't complain about wich haircut I have(as long as i don't color it black ) . SHe even thought that I should do the "uruha style"

@ Moffeltoff: I dunno about sexy to be completely androgyne ☝ But to me, most of Japanese men look like men to me. (There is just a few exception.)
And I think that people do find Marilyn Manson sexy... It's all a matter of preference.

Anyway, I'm adult so I don't have to bother about what my parents think. But my mom, I played her some Jrock music and she likes it (she's not really into heavy music but I play her stuff like Merry and Malice Mizer, and Are you ready to ROCK, she likes that ^^). Although my mom isn't very musical, period, so she tries to appreciate my interests but she isn't interested in music even though she trys to look interested (I miss my Dad! )

As regards their look..... well, she thinks some of them look feminine because they have a small, delicate bone structure to their face, and also because if they are wearing makeup and jewellery and have their eyebrows shaped. She is quite good at analysing things like that. She never made any stupid or ignorant remarks... she isn't so narrow-minded as to think they must all be gay or something. Still, I suppose she's kinda used to theatrical-related kinds of stuff, with me and my life. so it doesn't seem so very surprising.

She did think one picture of Kozi looked like a woman though, she said 'Really, that is not a woman?' (it was a live picture with a nice light ^^) and I (when I had recovered from my laughing fit!) said 'No...' and she said 'But he's fluffy!' ........ 'Yes, he is, isn't he!' ... haha. I said 'He doesn't look like a woman just because he's wearing a feathery thing!'

 

[Rancid__]

Aaaw he's fluffy but it's a good point tho
Mymom, well.. nothing to say about that <-- don't wanna talk about it really
But my dad is over it, he just sees my new hairstyle and says: On which picture is that? Lemme see!!!

 

[Kinsao]

Haha - well, it was this picture, so I can kind of forgive her being as though his fluffy feathery trimming-thing disguises the fact that he has no breasts.

 

[Tomino]

yesterday night my dad came to talk with me. he sat next to me and i closed the jref window. and then he saw my gazette wallpaper.
dad:khm. are these the jrockers you've been talking about?
me: *thinking: wow, where'd he understood that ??* yeees.
dad: what happend to Tokio Hotel?
me: um. i still like them ^^*thinking about how much i hate them*
dad: so these jrockers are appearently womens, yes?
me: um. yes
dad: it's good that you dont listen to some creepy-girlish men/boys like TH had.
me: yeees *thinking about how big and long do gazette and miyavi probably have (i know i have a bit naughty thinking :joyful*
dad: so. eerm.. this is a nice girl *pointing at Uruha (my mom thought ''she'' is beautiful too)*
me: yeah, sure ^^".
dad: and why does this girl have a nosething? what's her name?
me: umm. ''she'' had a nose surgery and ''she'' has a really ugly nose ^^""". *thinking how wrong everything i sayd is*. and ''her'' name is *cant say Reita cuz i have a bracelet (its in my signature).* Rika!
dad: okie dokie!
me: you really think they are girls *:amazed:*
dad: well you said so.
me: oh yeah ^^.

well i'm becoming my father and my grandfather. they always lie and do tricks . not that they have lovers and so but they cheat in a cardgame. ALWAYS and it pisses me off!

 

[wandering.legy]

My jrock obssession is a little new, so i hadn't yet put up any on my desktop/walls. I've got a Laruku one on my desktop now, though, so let's see how it goes down. I thought i'd start with a relatively male-looking band and then progress from there

 

[G79]

its quite hard 2 get them understanding about visual kei, i think they need lessons

mom: wow who's that (pointing out Hyde and Ken)
me: hot rockstars - XD
--
mom: that guys disgusting (Klaha)
me: yea but look.. (shows picture of Klaha without make up)
mom: is that really him? why would he make himself look like a vampire
me: its the style of his band
--
dad: SHE looks quite pretty ^^ (Ryouhei, ayabie)
me: of course i think HE's cute
dad: me too

Even now he doesn't know Ryouhei is a boy!
--
dad: hey she looks like a cute school girl (bou)
me: yerrr..
dad: wait a second, his hat, isn't that logo on one of your shirts?!?! (Miku wearing sex pot hat)
me: yep its a really good brand you should start wearing too..
dad: i would if i had some time alone (lol)
--
dad: i like his hairstyle (uruha, watching reila), he looks like the man in the game you like (Cloud strife)
me: yeah, i'm glad you understand (that uruha is a guy!)

Good you have passed the number one test of Visual Kei!

 

[Rancid__]

Haha - well, it was this picture, so I can kind of forgive her being as though his fluffy feathery trimming-thing disguises the fact that he has no breasts.

ahahaha!! Fluffy, but that feathery thing can fool you that he has breasts tho

There was one Turkish guy in my class last year and he was like so crazy about all the girls and he saw a picture of Dir en grey I had on my desk and was like "Ahhh,those guys are ugly,especially that one!" He said pointing at Kyo and then he noticed Shinya and was like "Gosh,this girl is so pretty!What is she doing with them?" and he KISSED that picture!!! Me and my friend were staring at him like and then my friend said: "Actually it's a man..". You should have seen that guy's face!!He was so disguasted!
My mom dislike Intetsu from Ayabie for some reason.. She looked at his picture on their album and laughed
Mom:He can't pose!
Me:Sure,he can!
Mom:He's ugly..
Me:He's kawaii!You don't understand!
Then she had a really stupid expression on her face and stick her tonque out... ☝
Mom:Am I kawaii too?
Me: No.

My mom only likes Kyo..

I swear I'll never be a parent like that when I'll have kids!

 

[Nana007]

Well at first my parents were not against it, but they just don't understand it. Now my dad is like whatever she's going to do what she's going to do. And my mom she is actually starting to support me a bit. Like when I decided to go to Japan to see Dir en grey, everyone thought I was crazy but my mom was just like okay well if thats what she likes its okay. Its her own money, she's an adult.

My mom is also jealous of the J-Rockers cause of how pretty they look. And she thought Alice Nine was girls. I had put the new poster of them from the Arena 37 mag up and she was like are those girls. I was just like as many posters I have on my wall you should know they are ALL men lol.

But she is actually able to recognize the members of Dir en grey and Miyavi

 

[brokencat]

My bro said Dir en Grey scares him

 

[brokencat]

My mother did well again!

I was organising my jrock picture files and she saw it.
Mom: How can you tell them apart, they are all the same?
I showed him a picture of Kai from Gazette, and Yuma from KuRt:
Me: Do they look alike?
Mom: Yes, they do!
Me: speachless...

 

[sadie_sue]

I've been getting more and more into japanese music each year, and now I'm obsessed with J-rock. Which is a good thing since it means I'm no long obsessed with Lord of the Rings. I had a crush on the guys who played the hobbits... and Legolas, Aragorn, and Boromir.

 

[brokencat]

And I thought I'm the only one crushing on nearly every guy I see...

 

[sadie_sue]

It's not like I said gimli was cute, but due to teenage hormones I have a crush on every hot person I see, who isn't more than 35 years older than myself, I think.

 

[wandering.legy]

*is also in LOTR rehab stage* hahaha i've been in this stage for a year now. Just can't seem to let it go

 

[JoRuDeNnA]

well this is an interesting thread hehe so ok here's my story lol

I lived on my own for about three years in another state and that was when I started liking Jrock, so I had my computer full of images of many bands, and at that time my wallpaper was of Miyavi. My parents new I liked Jrock but didnt know how Jrockers looked like, until a year ago that my mom went to visit me and she saw my wallpaper and...

Mom: " why do you have a girl in your computer?
Me: well that's not a girls that's a really cute boy
Mom: WHAT?! No thats's not true, he looks like a girl to me
Me: Nope Im positive he's a boy

She gave a freaked look after that and left XDDD

We dont talk much about the subject since then, she only makes ewwww faces when she passes by and sees my pics, my dad doesnt cares, and my brother thinks Im wierd, but he kinda accepts it, actually I can say he supports me, BUT the funny stories began when my friends found out about it.

One of the funniest thing was when I met this girl at the university

Girl:May I take a look at your wallet?
Me: yeah sure!
( have a pic of Ruki (Gazette) inside hehe)
Girl: awe! is that you?
Me: what?! do I look asian to you?
Girl: well no, so who's this girl?
Me: He's a guy
Girl: rrrriiiiggghhhttt

and she left . Now that I know her better she thinks Im wierd but she doesnt really care, and we are good friends!

AHHH Ive written so much Ill share some other stories later

 

[Kinsao]

A funny thing happened to me at work yesterday... A woman from finance came up to meet with me in my office... I have some pictures of Jrockers on the wall (and some of my friends, and random pics ^_^) and pics of Eve of Destiny... and she says "Wow that's a great picture" *points to Kozi* "is that you?" ... I mean like why the hell would I have a picture of myself in my office?!! It's bad enough that I have to look in the mirror in the morning. ><
