Anyone here like Visual Kei?

[xXxCrimson_ShadowxXx]

Now, before the ranting and stupid question starts, HERE'S THE DEFINITION OF VISUAL KEI:
"Brand of Japanese rock music where band members (mostly men) wear elaborate make up and stage costumes, much of the time crossdressing. The "kei" is japanese for style of type, meaning "visual style music" The music ranges from 80's-esque goth rock, to heavy metal to punk and usually some combo of the 3. Most bands are indies (independant or on indies labels) but a few make it to major labels such as Malice Mizer, Raphael, and Dir En Grey. Also seen written "VK" or sometimes incorrectly lumped in with the catch all word "Jrock", meaning all japanese rock music"

Basically, it's Japanese bands(Which are much better than roughly 85% of American bands), with AWESOME music, and even more awesome costumes. Below are some examples. =P

Oh, also: IT IS NOT EMO

Style:




(Those are all men by the way. XD)

Anyways, just thought I'd throw something out there that was a lot better than "emo". If you have any questions like, if you need suggestions of good Japanese bands, I'd be glad to help.

>.< i do~!
you have a picture of reaita from the gazette <3 that made my day XD

i agree with the music bit, it is more enjoyable, and doesn't have a bunch of autotune crap clogging the muscianship.

when i was unhealthily obssessed with vk i dressed in visual kei-ish clothes and styled my hair that way (which was hard to do as a girl. i havent seen too many women take on visual kei >.>)
... and when i dressed like that quite a few "hip little emos" asked me things from "you going emo?" or my favorite,
"did you get that at hot topic?"

Lol, yay! A fellow vk fan!
Of course I have a picture of Reita. What thread about vk would be complete without one? rolleyes
I'd love to buy some visual kei-ish clothing, it's just a tad expensive is all. sweatdrop
About the hair, I think a female could pull off several of those styles. In fact, I have a friend who wants the hairstyle in the third picture, second from the right.
And, about those kids... I think you should have punched them in the face. o.o

I'm not always so fond of visual kei, as I am insanely jealous of those boys who pull off prettier so much better than me.
