Jrock is Japanese rock. There are many variations of the style, like visual kei.

Visual Kei is a more Visual style of music, for example over the top costumes and make-up, it has long been a question as to whether this should be considered as a different music style.

There is also Jpop which is just Japanese pop, again there is a Visual Kei branch off to this.

If you want to research some artists here are a few-

Gackt (mixture of pop and rock, mostly rock)

Malice Mizer (Gothic Rock, Visual Kei)

X Japan or X (old Rock, Heavy metal, Visual Kei, Ballads)

Antic Cafe (Dance rock, in there own words, heavy pop-ish)

Dir En Grey (Very Heavy Rock, Screamo)

the GazettE (rock/Visual Kei)

Mois Dix Moi (Gothic, Heavy rock Visual Kei)

Alice Nine (pop)

L'arc~en~ciel (Pop, Rock)

hide (Rock)

Miyavi (Rock, bit heavy)

SuG (Oshare Kei/Pop)

How do you cut your hair into a jrock?

It's not too hard. Do you want to cut it yourself or get a jrock cut from the hair salon? If you want to cut it yourself, you can easily find tutorials on youtube. Basically, find pictures of the styles you want. Cut your hair short in some places, long in some places, and make sure you have semi-long bangs. Obviously, after you cut it, it won't look jrock, it'll just look like you cut your hair strange. But no worries! You'll just have to style it the way you want. If you need help with that, look up on youtube, or ask another question and I'll answer it. If you want to get the cut at a hair salon, its really easy. Make sure you bring some pictures of how long you want your bangs and how long the sides, etc. Mostly, you would want to go to an Asian hair salon, because they've probly seen the style before. look at my blog: khairstylez.blogspot.com
