Jirai Kei is an ongoing Japanese fashion trend, the name translates to "Landmine Style," the fashion started in Kabukicho in 2020. The term of the fashion comes from the stereotype "Jirai Joshi" or "Landmine Girl." The stereotype stems from misogynistic men who would call neurodivergent and depressed girls in Kabukicho "landmines" for being too emotional and for having mental issues, however those same girls decided to reclaim that and have the term be associated with a cute fashion rather then an ableist stereotype. Main aspects of Jirai Kei include frilly blouses and high waisted skirts, along with lace and ribbons, the main aspect of Jirai Kei however is the "pien" style of makeup, which is also common in Ryousangata. Jirai Kei also has an association with night life since may of the women and girls who wear/wore this fashion often worked in or frequented host clubs and/or were party goers. This has lead to the misconception that Jirai Kei is a "personality" and not a fashion, saying that however brings Jirai Kei back to it's ableist roots.

Get the high-keymug. Visual-kei is a movement born in the early 80's in Japan, it's about music and image at the same time. Visual-kei band members use makeup and dress up in a very eccentric way. Members of these bands make a dramatization of their music on stage and their image helps them on it. Individualism is what Visual-kei people look for, not to be part of society so to speak.
The dramatization of their music is an influence of Kabuki theatre.
Their music is a bit difficult to classify, but most of Visual-kei bands follow a pattern to make music, although nowadays their music has been very influenced by western music. If someone wants to know how Visual-kei sounds like, go to bands like: Baiser, Pierrot, Dir en grey (Visual-kei times), Noir Fleurir, Aliene Ma'riage, Lareine, Vidoll, etc.
Visual-kei is not gothic as some people think since Visual-kei bands with gothic influence began to appear in the 90's and Visual-kei already existed before it.
