VC crew

English to Japanese Other Slang song lyrics
Part of lyrics from "Misfits" by Amy Stadt

So you got your little groups and gangs
You got your VIP
Your member-only things
Your happy-clappys and your VC crew
And if you get in their way, they got 10 on you

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): MariyaN (X), Naoki Watanabe, David Gibney

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

バーチャル・コミュニティ・グループ

I originally thought of ビデオ・チャット・グループ, but I'm guessing based on the context, the year the song was written and the age of the song writer at the time that this has something to do with internet groups. It also ties into the next line where if you attack one of the group's opinions, ten members of the group will attack back.
