With all due respect to the website staff, I'm not sure why koteosa is hard-locked onto this page. Seeing the kote, not seeing the oshare at all. They are a heavy gothic band with an updated kote kei style. I believe we as users should be allowed to vote on their status as koteosa.

This was an accidental oversight. In previous years, the koteosa tag could be applied to any band. About a year ago or so, we restricted the tag to bands within a certain time period (which DazzlingBAD does not fall within). This unintentionally had the effect of “freezing the tag in place” because it had already been added before the policy change, but can no longer be voted on.

I have manually removed the tag for now and will add to our support queue to look for other such cases.

How exactly are they groundbreaking? iT has a very out-there voice but that doesn't qualify them as groundbreaking. There's really nothing you can point at for that tag.

It's based on voting, so I guess most people disagree. They're definitely experimenting in look and sound, both are quite different than their peers, and they're starting a lot of trends we are seeing pop up in the scene.

Feel free to argue your point. It's clear that you have a vendetta against this band, but objectively speaking they are doing new and different things that are influencing the rest of the scene.

Why isnt Antagonism in spotify? im going insane

I guess it will be released later digitally as well. most of their releases were released digitally a month later or so.
