Visual kei (ヴィジュアル系 vijuaru kei?, lit. "visual system, lineage, group")[1][2] refers to a movement among Japanese musicians,[3][4] 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.[5][6] Some sources state that Visual Kei refers to a music genre, or to a sub-genre of J-rock (a term referring to Japanese rock in general [7][8]), with its own particular sound, related to glam-rock, punk and metal, and with strong emphasis on its unique style of dress; [9] [10] [11] [12] and some sources state that Visual Kei's unique clothing and make-up fashions, and participation in the related sub-culture, is equally as important as the sound of the music itself in the use of the term.[13] [14] [15]
