My dad was the worst. But he didn't just get on about the music he was going full on about Pearl harbor and stuff like that.
Finally, yesterday i forced him to listen to my Dir en grey CD on my way home.
And guess what?
He fucking liked it o_o
People need to stop being racist about Japanese music.
And stop underestimating Jrock.
It is good, you just have to give it a chance.
But, he said they sounded like Tool. Who is Tool? D8

some prefer other music. the thing they mocked you.
TOOL is a legendary band. who uses no standard outline with music. they've used fibonnacci sequence in one of their songs, i think lateralus.
listen to them, you'll like them. listen to the old album and to the very latest.
their vocalist, is on the band "a perfect circle" and several side projects like tapeworm and psucifer [with rehnholder of nine inch nails; soundtrack to "underworld"]
here are some songs you'd like in tool.
LATERALUS
PARABOL PARABOLA
SCHISM
JIMMY
OPIATE
AENIMA
EULOGY
and more...
their songs are long, so best to listen to them with your eyes close, and your mind wide open.
