| |  What is VK?
Visual kei refers to a movement in Japanese popular culture characterized by the use of eccentric looks. This usually involves striking make-up, unusual hair styles and elaborate costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgyny or distinctively feminine aesthetics. If you haven't heard of visual kei before, it is a type of band that puts their look on the same level as their music. They generally have very interesting outfits.. It also tends to be mostly male bands, even though you might swear that they were female from some of the pictures. With influences from European and American genres like new wave, punk and glam rock. Noted bands who at least at some point sported a visual kei theme include Dir en grey, Luna Sea, and Malice Mizer. Visual Kei is very similar to the JROCK genre. Unlike JROCK though, visual kei bands focus largely on their appearance rather than their music. Many of these bands will fashion traditional Japanese clothing, anime cosplay outfits, lolita clothes, or other imaginative costumes
