Angura Kei (アングラ系) is a dark japanese fashion and also a subgenre of Visual Kei. The term derives from the japanese pronunciation of ''underground'', which refers to its origins in undergound theater.
Angura Theater
From everything that influences angura kei, the strongest influence is underground theater. Before it has become a style, it was mostly worn by actors in plays during 60-70s.
Fashion
The clothes tend to be heavily influenced by traditional japanese elements as well as the Showa era (1926-1989) but with a Goth spin to it. The make-up usually consists of shironuri, and is dark and heavy. While kimono are the most common used by visual kei artist, the style also often features modified japanese school uniforms. Motifs and accessories are themed around post-war Japan and the occult.
