So technically. Kiss IS VK.
VK just copied everything that Glam Rock/Metal was in the 80s.
and man. I've seen so many VK artists try to be Manson.
VK is just Glam. Japan's always been 20 years behind when it comes to popular music, so that explains a lot.
and VK and Jrock is practically the same. most of the jrockers dress VK anyway.

I don't really hate you, I just think you're quite the rude little fellow at times ;]
Anyway, you're absolutely right. Kiss and other groups like it are visual kei. Modern VK is derived from glam rock/metal of the 80's as you also mentioned (although I disagree with Japan being 20 years behind in the music industry). And yeah, there is little differentiation between VK and J-rock these days just because almost every J-rocker dresses in some sort of VK style.

And Like Someone Said Early, If You Can't Handal The Heat, Get Out of The Kitchen; Stop Wearing Visual Kei. =)

We aren't really classifying them as 'emo,' they chose that identification themselves. But yeah, if you can't handle the occasional ignorant insult, just don't dress that way.
