Visual Kei

[SSgt Dickweed]

Adult Japanese men dressed in full cosplay attire (sometimes as women) making anywhere from awesometacular to crap music. VK is not a genre so much as a movement. Here are some of the good ones I know:

Versailles




Moi Dix Mois




Malice Mizer

From my understanding a lot of the old school visual kei musicians and fans were gay but the new school bands and fans mostly just pretend to be gay. I swear several people have told me that.

Crazy to see how Dir En Grey outgrew its early Visual Kei roots to become one of the most versatile and best metal bands around today.
