Visual Kei

Visual Kei (ヴィジュアル系) refers to a movement among Japanese musicians, that is characterized by the use of eccentric, sometimes flamboyant looks. This usually involves striking make-up, unusual hair styles and elaborate costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Kurt

I feel like most people who hate VK as a scene/genre judge a band's music by their looks :P

cantstopmenow: Only one person made the "VK = THE TR00EST FORM OF BLACK METAL " comment and I am guessing it was a joke that was posted to be laughed at or sarcasm. And yes people can be fans of a style believe it or not that is your choice. Also where is this genre talk coming from? No tag user has called it a genre. They know it's not a genre but a fashion.

LightRed : Where does anyone say that VK is a genre? Nowhere. Not ALL tags are genre tags. The tag has to do with the fashion. If you think this tag is dumb then go look at the many others like 'shit', 'Officially shit', or 'its brittney bitch' none of the people who are using this tag are calling it a genre so before you post that comment read better.

The VK-haters will win as long as you keep thinking that visual kei is a music genre. It's a fashion style, damn it! I don't think anybody can be a fan of a fashion style, at least not in the usual meaning of the word.
