Jrock is the short version for "Japanese rock", which includes Visual Kei, normal and alternative rock, but from Japanese bands. The term sometimes includes Japanese metal bands (such as Maximum the Hormone), but it's more rarely seen.
The most popular Jrock band in Japan is SID, but the GazettE has a lot of fans outside the country. They play Visual Kei and DOES plays normal rock in Japanese.

Japanese rock.
Broad term that encompases any rock music from Japan. Visual Kei is a subgenere of Japanese rock music, not an alternate name.

Everyone thought "Bob" was surely going to loose, for it seemed everyone was against him, but he jrocked and won.
