Ghost animals, translated from Japan, refer to ghosts and animals. The original meaning of the word is cruel and heartless, and it is extended to people who pursue cruel and inhuman behavior, such as ghostly animals, which refers to cruelty that completely violates human nature. But in China, it refers to the original video types that are common on video stations.
Ghost animal originated from Japanese barrage video website NICONICO Animation, whose original name was supposed to be tone-deaf, but in China, it was changed from the earliest tone-deaf "ghost animal girl フランドール"? In s? Ghost animal? Named after an abbreviation.
The process of meaning transformation of the word "ghost animal" is also the process of the change and development of ghost animal videos. The video of ghost animals originated in Japan, but its initial spread in China was limited to the barrage websites such as Station A, and the meaning of "ghost animals" was wrongly equated with the sound MAD. With the development of Li Li, the new ghost and beast training and the appearance of human VOCALOID have impacted the original MAD, and the contradiction between traditional old members and new members has intensified. Finally, a new area was set up to accommodate both sides, and the meaning of "ghost beast" changed again, becoming "ghost beast = sound madness+ghost beast training+human VOCALOID". Since then, the development of BiLi and the rise of social media have finally formed a subculture of ghost and animal culture.
