This thread reminds me. Have you seen the nico nico threads on 22chan's /www/? They're pretty detailed.

>>155362
Thanks for mentioning them! I have, I found the board through a post on Kissu and have been visiting every once in a while, though the activity sadly seems to be a little rough.

>though the activity sadly seems to be a little rough
yeah whenever I go there the site makes me feel extremely intimidated about maybe saying something stupid that would break the peace although that's probably contributing to hurting the site's activity even furhter. I'm honestly a bit curious about the identity of the guy/s who have been making some of the nico nico posts on there since in their posts they are describing and linking to stuff that you can't even find on any of the japanese wikis about the topics (especially the gachimuchi one)

I actually just now read the entirety of that thread for the first time. I've never been huge into Gachi and just in general have only really been consuming content from the sidelines, but that is some rather impressive and extremely interesting research that anon seems to have done, even providing sources. I know that the western community has been doing a lot of crowdsourcing for these cultures in private, though that anon seems to be a purist and might've just done all that digging by himself.
Somewhat unrelated, but there are also people like Nameless Rumia, possessing an insane amount of background knowledge on things that I assume happened a couple of years before their time, though I might very well be wrong in his case. It feels especially surreal when those people turn out to be much younger than you.

It's a place where people's points and arguments don't go unchallenged. However, the site does discourage low quality posts, like ragebait and shitposting (outside of a specific board). An anon I spoke to from a live townhall, said that 22chan is basically an "anti-imageboard" in the modern sense; where stereotypical imageboards like 4chan are full of ragebaiters and tourists not wanting to assimilate into traditional internet culture to the point where it is not the same 4chan as the one the internet revered back in the classic era. The staff seems rather protective into making sure a lot of what makes modern internet culture awful stays out, and completely stays out, but it comes at a cost of activity since most modern internet users have very low attention spans, poor social/communication skills, and lack desire to explore and learn various interests compared to the internet of old.

It's clear that anon is a dying breed of otaku that is over-obsessed to an unhealthy degree because nerds and geeks back in the day showed absolute genuine care and sincerity, or told you to fuck off and either: lurk more, or find something else you're interested in, and don't come back until you actually give a shit about (insert subject matter here). There's still plenty of other threads not limited to gachimuchi you can lurk, so I'm not sure why you limited yourself to that one. Just go explore and share stuff you find interesting in threads already made for your certain interest, or make your own thread if you searched hard enough to find one you don't find appropriate to share in. Be the change.

I had the previous thread open in a tab and wanted to at a later point in my free time browse it at my leisure only to find it gone when I went to go do that today

I only had one shot and I missed my chance to blow. That opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo

Why is there so much Russian Gachi?

Was it this thread? https://kissu.moe/jp/archive/res/93031.html

Gachimuchi went through this interesting cultural handoff:
Japan -> West -> China&Russia.

The Japanese focused on elaborate video editing, then Westerners leaned on audio mixing. Later the Chinese did some sort of hybrid, and Russians/slavs mostly focused on song edits, which is the most recent (and probably final) form of Gachi content.

>YTPMVs are allowed as well.
Phew, i was worried i'd had to start sorting through my very unsorted music remixes folder for specifically 音MADs...

Speaking of ievan polkka and gachimuchi, i love when cultures cross in 音MADs/YTPMVs, be it japanese finding a finnish polka song or a swedish disco dance song, or westerners finding semi-obscure japanese songs or some other obscure thing. The remixes and further exchanges that comes out of it can be pretty fun and creative.
Like, i never expected there'd be a remix using american dad and シャルル／バルーン, but here we are.

Not OP, but i'm pretty sure it is.

>>155383
You could say this for Touhou too. Except maybe replace Russia with LatAm and China.
