Angura kei

Angura-kei is not a sub-genre of visual kei. It is more distinctive by a gloomier attitude and formal style of dress, such as traditional kimonos or uniforms. It is somewhat linked to the Eroguro imagery, a portmanteau of “erotic” and “grotesque”, that sprang from certain groups in Angura-kei. Edit this Artist photo: Robocon

why major pop rock bands tagged as angura kei?

Just because music is Japanese doesn't mean it has to be labeled as a 'kei' as with bands that originated in the visual kei scene (MUCC, DeG, etc) A lot of this music is rock, just simple rock music. You don't need to label it as "Jrock" because no anywhere else calls our music "A-rock" or "USA-rock". There isn't G-rock for Germany, or Mrock for mexico, its just rock n roll.

Angura Kei is what happens when you pass out drunk in a puddle of your own drool whilst still in your Visual Kei makeup.

I agree - Angura Kei is not a subgenre of Visual kei. But, some Angura bands ARE also classed as Visual Kei. MUCC. Now, I my get flamed or shat on for saying that, but MUCC are also a Visual kei band. That's what they're covered as in SOME japanese magazines. So, it probably isn't people faults if they don't udnerstand it. But i agree with you guys ^_^
