Tag: π΅ γ³γη³» (Kote Kei)
γ³γη³» (Kote Kei) is probably the most recognizable subgenre of γ΄γ£γΈγ₯γ’γ«η³» (Visual Kei) because of it’s pleather, roses, spider webs, corsets, mesh and black teardrop makeup – all drawing influence from the mid-90s and early 00s gothic fashion. The term “γ³γ” (Kote) comes from the onomatopoeia “γ³γγ³γ” (Kotekote), and means “over the top” or “extremely” in English – something this genre can definitely be described as.
While often seen as the “original” subgenre of γ΄γ£γΈγ₯γ’γ«η³» (Visual Kei) there are still artists, “old” and “new”, who incorporate this style in their work to this very day.
