The World's Most Stylish Bands

[enojy]

the visual kei thing has been beyond tired in japan for a long time now, but malice mizer killed it in their time. stylistic peak was late 90s early 2000 imo. they toured/played shows in this. anime kids LOVE this shit. i'll admit it, i'm a fan too. whatever.

x japan gets bonus points for pretty much inventing this style but they didn't pull it off as well. they were more 80s metal/hair band, huge red mohawks, leopard print tights, etc.

hah. the stone roses. my band had the pleasure of playing as them for halloween last year, baggy clothes and all. that was fun. but seriously, a few of the shirts/jackets they wore are really interesting.

and Ian Brown is completely ridiculous, wanted to add an orchestra to his live show and he said: "I'll get all the orchestra in Adidas tracksuits and I'll wear a dickie bow and the suit" LOL.
