Parents Guide to Jrock

1.] Don't worry, your kid probably isn't gay, even though the pics hanging next to their bed looks like girls.
2.] When they show you a pic of their favorite singer, don't instantly assume that it's a girl, it probably isn't.
3.] If you walk into the room while they are on the computer and they minimize the window instantly, don't be offended, it's probably for your own protection.
4.] Don't insult their favorite J-Rockers.
5.] Don't be surprised when you can no longer talk to your child about anything except Japan.
6.] Be prepared to learn more than you ever had, about something you never wanted to know about.
7.] A man in a dress is sexy, no matter what you say, nothing can change that.
8.] It doesn't matter that they don't know what the singers are saying, don't bother arguing about it.
9.] Don't be suprised if their total clothing and make-up style changes
10] Your child will eventually start talking strangely. Here’s some explanation. Kawaii=cute, Kyaaaa=emotional positive outburst.
11] WIN is good, FAIL is bad
12.] Important rule: the more feminine, the more attractive
13.] When they start talking about Lucifer, they aren't worshiping Satan.
14.] If you listen through the door and the vocals sound like a mixture of Ancient Greek and Russion, assume it’s a Japanese man singing in English.
15.] When two males kiss, it is called fanservice. This is a good moment to say “Kyaaaa”
16] Score points by buying them Japanese items. Japanese candy and Hello Kitty are “win”.
17] Cinema Bizarre and Tokio Hotel are FAIL! Don’t go “but they are called Tokio Hotel”. Just no. It doesn’t work.
18] Never say Japanese people, Chinese people and Korean people are all the same.
19] Japan is holy, Tokyo is holy, Harajuku is holy.
20.] Maybe it’s a phase, maybe it’s serious, but let them enjoy it while it lasts ^^
