  • I bet you they have millions upon millions upon millions

  • of people that come to their shows.

  • Somebody SoulCycles to that, I'm sure.

  • ♪ (dramatic chord) ♪

  • - (Finebros) So how would you describe what we just showed you?

  • - I would describe these videos as very disturbing.

  • - Vibes of Marilyn Manson.

  • I enjoy it.

  • - It reminds me a lot of kind of the Final Fantasy aesthetic.

  • - It was a little Tim Burton-esque.

  • Like a designed nightmare.

  • - If I were six years old, and I sat here

  • and you put this computer in front of me on camera,

  • I would have started crying. - Me too.

  • - (Finebros) What genre of music

  • would you classify these bands under?

  • - Uh... (laughs) is there a genre for them?

  • - Panic! at the Disco meet Marilyn Manson.

  • - I would call that carnage pop.

  • - Japanese heavy metal?

  • - Heavy metal. - Screamo heavy metal?

  • - Screamo heavy metal music

  • mixed with cosplay and very artistic costuming.

  • - (Finebros) So all of these bands are considered

  • something called "visual kei"... - "Visual kei."

  • - (Finebros) ...which is a movement among Japanese music,

  • characterized by the use of varying levels of makeup,

  • elaborate hairstyles, flamboyant costumes,

  • and sometimes androgynous aesthetics. - Okay.

  • - So like late '70s. (both chuckle)

  • - (Finebros) Would you say you liked it? - No.

  • - I wouldn't say I liked it.

  • - I did not like it.

  • I appreciate the art form

  • and people being able to express themselves.

  • - I did.

  • Everything looks very perfect. The hair was perfect.

  • Their skin-- everything was just unreal.

  • - From a musical standpoint, no.

  • From a visual standpoint, yes, absolutely.

  • - (Finebros) Can you think of any music genre in the west

  • that is kind of equivalent to what these guys are doing?

  • - I mean, like Slayer, I guess, and Slipknot.

  • - Insane Clown Posse?

  • - Makes me think of, like, '80s kind of like rock bands.

  • - Kiss. - Mm-hmm,

  • with their makeup and like, "Ah."

  • - (Finebros) So let's talk about these videos.

  • The first one was Insanity Injection. - That's a dope name.

  • - (Finebros) What did you think of it?

  • What was happening in that video? - Insanity. That's their name.

  • - I was so distracted by the screaming that I wasn't even

  • getting the full effect of the imagery.

  • - It was like the worst parts of Ridley Scott's Alien.

  • - It was Satan's side bitches, and they didn't eat that morning.

  • So they decided to eat all the humans.

  • - They were eating people.

  • One of the girls had their costume like this.

  • She looked like Kerrigan.

  • - Weird monsters and flesh-eating people are-- I don't know.

  • I never expected to see it in a music video.

  • - (Finebros) Second band is called the Gazette.

  • - The Gazette?

  • - (Finebros) And they've been around since 2002.

  • - Oh, wow.

  • - (Finebros) And they're one of the most popular bands

  • inside of visual kei. What did you think about them?

  • - They're probably the most popular,

  • 'cause they're not eating dead bodies.

  • - I found myself strangely attracted to them. (laughs)

  • - That was cool. I see they've been lasting so long.

  • - Out of all of them,

  • that's the one that I could get down with the most.

  • - I was expecting some crazy thing to pop out,

  • but it stayed pretty mellow.

  • I liked it.

  • - It was still definitely in the wheelhouse,

  • like in that style realm. But because it was more simple,

  • I could enjoy the music a little bit more.

  • - (Finebros) And the last video's from a band called DADAROMA.

  • Thoughts on that one? - It just, like, unsettled my stomach.

  • - I can't possibly form an opinion that's not "I'm afraid."

  • - The clown thing's a little weird.

  • I have a bit of an aversion to clowns.

  • - I don't like clowns, so that's me.

  • And the music was screaming, which is also not me.

  • - I love that vaudevillian aesthetic.

  • I love the puppet-show feel that it had.

  • - A feel of kind of a Alice in Wonderland vibe going on.

  • - I liked the music.

  • The visuals threw me off, but I guess that's what kei does.

  • - (Finebros) So visual kei is referred to by a lot of people

  • as a genre of music.

  • But people who are in visual kei bands

  • will say it's not a genre.

  • But it's the fashion and participation in the related subculture

  • that makes you a visual kei band.

  • What are your thoughts about that concept,

  • that could have multiple types of genres inside of an aesthetic?

  • - I guess I kinda like it,

  • because then it's inclusive to anybody that wants to participate,

  • no matter what your taste of music is.

  • - It allows for people to express themselves

  • in all of these different ways, and I think that's really cool.

  • - I like that it's part of a movement.

  • - And those videos we just saw--

  • they're like three different types of songs.

  • But, you know, their costumes are really cool.

  • - Korn kinda did it later,

  • where they mixed this kind of like rap rock

  • but metal thing together.

  • - It created this culture that existed with these themes,

  • similar, I would say, to visual kei,

  • where these themes all lived in there.

  • - (Finebros) Finally, after being exposed

  • to some of these videos,

  • do you think this is something you're gonna want to look up

  • and see what other bands are out there? - Absolutely not.

  • - No. - No.

  • If I'm gonna search it,

  • I'm gonna be searching it to scare people.

  • - No. I'm not interested in any way to delve into this nightmare.

  • - Visually, it's great. Maybe I'll do a Google Image search,

  • but maybe not a YouTube music search.

  • - 100%. I am going to make a Spotify playlist

  • of visual kei music.

  • - After learning that there can be--

  • it's about the visual aesthetic and that it's not just one thing.

  • So that makes me think,

  • "Oh, there might be something that I would gravitate towards."

  • So that's worth looking into.
