The one in the front is Strify, the one on the drums is Shin, and they are from an amazing German band called Cinema Bizarre. Don’t hate if you don’t know.
Of course! they are my favorite band. I heard of Cinema Bizarre from one of Tokio Hotel’s interviews, and fell in love with CB! I also got my friend hooked on them.
Oh, I know them. And they are some of the biggest posers in the world. They hail from germany yet are trying to be like the japanese and Tokio Hotel at the same time. I can’t say that their music is terrible, but it isn’t very good either. I think they need to stop stealing what the japanese have created and make their own stuff. And the leader needs to get better fashion sense.
Gay is not an insult. Strify is bisexual. He is proud of the way he is, and so am I. This just happens to be a picture where they look a little less visual kei. I apologize that he does not live up to your standards.
all the band members are coming from the German Visual Kei fan scene, knew some of them before, gosh , will never forget Shin’s face, when I asked him, if he saw a friend of us both, who was supposed to come to an event they were guest of…
lol
(he thought I was another fan, phhh)
anyway, they do took the look from the scene, that’s how they looked before they ever formed the band, but the music is and never was supposed to be VK…
In several interviews, Strify talks about how their style is VK. I will say, they aren’t really VK to the extreme and are a bit closer to scene, but that’s them putting their own spin on what they like.
I said they come from the German Visual kei FAN scene…
not the German Visuel kei Scene…
hell, coping the style is really normal under VK fans… ever heard of cosplay? or to get influenced?
Punk fans look like their band, Goth fans, emos…
gosh, even in Japan fans style like that…
VK is about being Visual, style, express yourself..
of course you can mix your own into it…why the hell be copycat’s of others?
I personally cross all over, VK, Glam, goth, rock style, what ever suit my mood…
VK was a lot like Punk was in England, rebellion…
How you style is your own thing and being from the FAN SCENE of VK in Germany, they did and do dress like that…
and style change..if your influence change…so you adopt other styles too, finding your own…
gosh, in Japan they never make such a fuss..
they took influence from Punk, goth, glam, whatever changed a bit, suited it their own likings…
with CB it just went the opposite direction, from Japan back to Europe
NOTHING wrong with that..
they don’t try to sing in Japanese or what else, like a handful bands do really do here, calling themselves indeed German VK..
but nothing wrong with that too..you have Japanese Punk, Japanese Industrial whatever…it’s a style..and it can be adopt all over the world, not just in the country were it was born…
I work for jp. bands… the guys would just laugh about this discussion…
SHUT UP!!!!!! THEY ARE THE EST BAND ON PLANET EARTH!!!!!!!! And hey, it takes a poser to know a poser. Not that Strify is a poser because he is the most amazing guy EVER!!!!!!!
You really are a jerk aren’t you Scythelord? Just becuase a band isn’t popular in America doesn’t mean that they’re crap. If anyone fails here, it’s people like you. You fail as a human being.
Someone fails being a human because they were a jerk? I found this…Wrong. Aren’t we, as humans, just suppose to live through our life? And if you commit suicide or something, you fail at it? I’m not making much sense to myself anymore. Has everything I have lived for been wrong? Do I fail at being a human for finally standing up to the mean girl down the street?
Excuse me, but Strify happens to be extremely talented singer, Shin an excellent drummer, and Cinema Bizarre my favorite band. There is nothing “poser” about them. Please study up before you caption a random picture in a false way.
I imagine the person who posted this knows exactly who they are…I had to look them up on Wiki however.
Wiki lists their names as Strify, Shin, Yu, Kiro, Romeo, & formerly Luminor…So that’s that really, It matters not how good they are, with names like that they are very obviously try too hard…
Well, aren’t they good looking? Long hair =/= poser btw. Whomever posted this is just mad that his girlfriend thinks these guys are better looking than him.
THIS came out of Germany?!Sodom,Kreator,and Destruction both laugh and shun at these little pieces of crap.
Quite frankly I think the whole world does.Men who like these bands are guy[how do I even call them men] and the girls who like them are dikes[why else would they like boys that dress like them?].
Oh, if only some people would do research before they /try/ to diss a band. I think it’s pathetic. So what if they’re not “visual kei” they like the scene, so they modify the way they want to. Chill out. They’re not gay, I really don’t know why Tokio Hotel fans call them gay when Bill’s style is very similar to theirs. It only shows your ignorancy when you post comments like that.
A good friend of mine told me I should first take a look at Cinema Bizarre, so I did. At first I was like, ‘oh this is ok..’ but I guess they grew on me. So, now, seeing what I have devoted most of my free time listening to being dissed like this because they are ‘posing’ at first made me a bit upset. Then I started reading these comments, and then came the laughter.
Some of you can be so ignorant; while I myself am simply in love with this band and their music, it doesn’t mean I’m going to get pissed over someone who dislikes them. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so I honestly am not sure why you’re making such a fuss. While it’s right to stand up for something you believe in, is it right to start a battle on comments on a website that is intended to make you giggle? If this picture didn’t make you giggle, ok then – move on.
I'm glad you see it my way. I don't even know wtf I'm doing back on this board/comment thing. Maybe hoping these people decided to build a bridge and get over it, but apparently, they didn't – I've expected too much already by hoping they'll understand what I mean about the whole 'opinion' thing.
I am a fan of these two in the picture (they’re from a band called Cinema Bizarre) and I think this is all quite stupid. I mean, the guys dress how they dress, their not posers at all. Whoever did this is a person who doesn’t like others being individual. They’re not even trying to be anything.
I hate CB… honestly I’m glad they broke up… Tokio Hotel still kicks ass though… and they’ve proven they are better by lasting at least 5 years… formed in 2001 as Devilish and became Tokio Hotel in 2003… that’s 9 years together and 7 years under this name!!! HAH!
Furst
That is not how you spell first.
you failed!
Wurst
Who is it?
Some posers?
The one in the front is Strify, the one on the drums is Shin, and they are from an amazing German band called Cinema Bizarre. Don’t hate if you don’t know.
yeah agreed they are in an amazing german band. I also LOVE Tokio hotle have you heard of them?
*upchuck*
cinema bizzare is good though
I’ve heard of TH. Best band on earth, in my humble opinion.
holy crap you have absolutely no taste in music!!!!
Haha same here! I love Tom
Hey bro, sister, whatever, your avatar is defying gravity. kthanxbai.
Of course! they are my favorite band. I heard of Cinema Bizarre from one of Tokio Hotel’s interviews, and fell in love with CB! I also got my friend hooked on them.
I love Tokio Hotel and Cinema Bizarre!
Tokio Hotel is the best thing ever
Oh, I know them. And they are some of the biggest posers in the world. They hail from germany yet are trying to be like the japanese and Tokio Hotel at the same time. I can’t say that their music is terrible, but it isn’t very good either. I think they need to stop stealing what the japanese have created and make their own stuff. And the leader needs to get better fashion sense.
they are a style called visual kei, or vk, which is derived from japanese fashion, but they do not try to be like the japanese.
Man this is not visual kei.
Check it out on google.
J-rockers do visual kei
this is just some gay scene kid.
Gay is not an insult. Strify is bisexual. He is proud of the way he is, and so am I. This just happens to be a picture where they look a little less visual kei. I apologize that he does not live up to your standards.
he should hang himself.

Love CB… But they really do imitate the Visual Kei style poorly… Their style is more of a scene/punk mix…
Still like their music though.
I said they come from the German Visual kei FAN scene…
not the German Visuel kei Scene…

Roxas, you’re totally wrong Tokio Hotel is the best band ever!!!!!
SHUT UP!!!!!! THEY ARE THE EST BAND ON PLANET EARTH!!!!!!!! And hey, it takes a poser to know a poser. Not that Strify is a poser because he is the most amazing guy EVER!!!!!!!
You remind me of the shirt in my name.
My dear Cocoa510, I have one thing to say…
YOU ARE FREAKIN AMAZING I LOVE YOU!
And that concludes my little outburst. Have a wonderful life.
looks like Cinema Bizarre
Be happy you don’t know them.
But if you really must, here(I’m sorry): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3kAmQ8KifY
I have similar hair.
Just curious….Is this a celeb? Anyone recognize him?
Strify. Shin. See other comment, by me.
Thanks! Wasn’t hating, just wondering.
Ok. That’s good.
Sorry, wasn’t trying to sound like I hate the world, I’m just sick of people dissing them. I really like this band.
yeah me too. Saying all the time they’re gay and everything. They aren’t and so what if they were what does it matter!
Actually, most of them are bi. I know Strify and Kiro are. Shin & Yu I’m not sure about, and Romeo is straight.
Spelling FAIL
“poseur”
way to be ethnocentric..
It’s Strify from Cinema Bizarre.
it’s the Lesser Pinkspotted Poser or minorum rutiluspunctum poseur
Can’t we just make fun of hipsters instead?
They are quite famous in Germany
which means no.
It means ‘not in america’ not “no”. America isn’t the be all end all.
Still means no.
Another stupid scene group. Fail on them all. Just sucky bands that look retarded or effeminate.
You really are a jerk aren’t you Scythelord? Just becuase a band isn’t popular in America doesn’t mean that they’re crap. If anyone fails here, it’s people like you. You fail as a human being.
Someone fails being a human because they were a jerk? I found this…Wrong. Aren’t we, as humans, just suppose to live through our life? And if you commit suicide or something, you fail at it? I’m not making much sense to myself anymore. Has everything I have lived for been wrong? Do I fail at being a human for finally standing up to the mean girl down the street?
they are actually more famous in Italy…
Excuse me, but Strify happens to be extremely talented singer, Shin an excellent drummer, and Cinema Bizarre my favorite band. There is nothing “poser” about them. Please study up before you caption a random picture in a false way.
I knew a Nat, he was a musical genius. You sir are no Nat.
Why, I certainly hope I am not, seeing as I am a girl…
Yeah, it’s terrible when a lot of people publicly agree that something you are fond of is actually crap.
BTW, if this is your favorite band you are hardly an unbiased critic. And “Strify” and “Shin” are TOTALLY poseur names.
This. I was already halfway through typing a similar comment when I read yours
I imagine the person who posted this knows exactly who they are…I had to look them up on Wiki however.

That’s the thing. When you’re 14 “trying to hard” really does appear to be legit. We were all there once.
They’re in their 20s…….
Oh thank god I got rescued from the scene scene!
anyone seen Tokio Hotels bill kaulitz laugh his ass off with a photo of hem? xD
Lmao yes, it’s hilarious
Has anyone ever noticed that a lot of German bands tend to look like this? Take Tokio Hotel for instance.
Yeah… That’s true. Wonder what’s up with that.
-Denise
I much prefer the industrial music that comes out of Germany :/
lots german musix is rly good… just not this kind.
I love Strify. D: This makes me sad. He’s no poser!
Amen.
I agree! What could he be posing as? himself? jeez.
I’m getting really emo of you guys.
Well, aren’t they good looking?
Long hair =/= poser btw. Whomever posted this is just mad that his girlfriend thinks these guys are better looking than him.
NOT STRIFY.
</3
THIS came out of Germany?!Sodom,Kreator,and Destruction both laugh and shun at these little pieces of crap.

*gay
*dykes
everyone just needs to shut up, okay? everyone’s a poser at some point, because you aren’t like goth or something at birth. >: l
Oh, if only some people would do research before they /try/ to diss a band. I think it’s pathetic. So what if they’re not “visual kei” they like the scene, so they modify the way they want to.

Just looked them up. I think my ears are bleeding.
A good friend of mine told me I should first take a look at Cinema Bizarre, so I did. At first I was like, ‘oh this is ok..’ but I guess they grew on me.

I MAKE SENSE.
Your argument is invalid.
…how can they be posers when they’re not trying to be goth/emo/punk? D8>
‘Cause they’re trying to be visual kei, and totally fail at it.
<3
I'm glad you see it my way. I don't even know wtf I'm doing back on this board/comment thing. Maybe hoping these people decided to build a bridge and get over it, but apparently, they didn't – I've expected too much already by hoping they'll understand what I mean about the whole 'opinion' thing.

I didn’t understand why strify is a poser o_õ
total j-rock posers
That dude is AMAZINGLY hawt :3
Hey man, Cinema Bizarre kicks ass!!!
Hey, they’re not posers, Cinema Bizarre Rocks!
I hate CB… honestly I’m glad they broke up… Tokio Hotel still kicks ass though… and they’ve proven they are better by lasting at least 5 years… formed in 2001 as Devilish and became Tokio Hotel in 2003… that’s 9 years together and 7 years under this name!!! HAH!
STRIFY IS NOT A POSER!!!!!!!!
er…they’re not posing…
They’re Japan fans…if u know what I mean….manga, anime conventions, visual kei….
Bill Kaulitz’s style is just HIS style…he’s VAMPIRE-inspired…not anime
get your facts straight before bashing on people.
who is this, anyway?
