Beatmania IIDX
Beatmania IIDX is a music game by the creators of DDR and Pop'n Music that involves button mashing to shit techno tunes. This is marketed as a DJ simulation game, but only a fucktard would believe this is true, because DJs don't mash buttons at over 9000 key presses per second. Also, their disc scratches sound like actual disc scratches. If you choose to remove social life, your family, women, sex and pretty much everything else that involves other human beings, then it's the game you must play. This, or Pop'n Music.
Gameplay
The goal of this game is to destroy the turntable controller by mashing your hands over it until they become a pile of skin, or they just burn into flames. Doing this will make the music hearable. If you play like shit, the music will sound like shit, like in Pop'n Music. Also, there's a vinyl disc that sits besides the keys, just to make sure it looks like a DJ game. But when you scratch it, it makes any random sounds, so it's like just another key, but it's harder to press.

The series
Beatmania is the Street Fighter 2 of music games. The second game gets a series while nobody gives a fuck about the first one. But it's way much worse, since Konami will release beatmania IIDX 23 Copulate feat. Thomas the Tank Engine this year. On the other hand, they've stopped making PS2 ports since IIDX FOR GIRLS, because it's an old overrated console, but it's still possible to get a more recent game, like beatmania IIDX 22 Apocalypse for the PC.
The only differences between each game are some additional shit tunes and a different look, but the game is still the same. Except for SERIOUS business in IIDX 17, where they've added Charge Notes, a mechanic that forces you to hold notes. Konami is retarded enough to wait 10 years before they add this mechanic. Then in beatmania IIDX 23 Copulate feat. Thomas the Tank Engine they made it so if you don't hold the notes you will slowly die, as if the mechanic wasn't fucking annoying enough.
There was also a PS2 US release for this game called simply beatmania, which is a copypasta of IIDX 9th Style, but with different tunes. It was in stores for only 10 seconds because nobody have heard of this game before. In 2015 they made beatmania IIDX INFINITE ASS but it was shit, and also only for Japanese because REASONS.

Characters
Yes, in such a shitty game, there are actual characters! But most of them are either douchebags or fap material. The funny thing is they are supposed to be DJs. In the game, they appear in the result screen, when you win hard at this game, or if you simply lost your life. They also appear in the Party Mode since SERIOUS business in IIDX 17 (because this game is serious business, so they have to add everything in this particular one), but this mode is for noobs who want to become a pro. Apparently, these characters have fans, so they had to write a fucking story about each of them. But most of their stories involve playing IIDX and other shit Konami music games with other characters. But that's not all, there are people who practice cosplaying based on these characters. The problem is the fact that nobody knows (let alone gives a fuck) about their personnality. So they end up acting like a fail DJ.
