This came up in the visual key f#ceb##k group when someone shared an article that described several flavors of the scene, which described angura as:
While I do not think that this definition is entirely wrong, per say, I do think it is lacking something that I am not really sure how to word. This isn't the scene I typically follow or engage with, but to me, it always felt like angura was vkei's edgier cousin that likes to pretend he doesn't know you in public, and saying "they wear kimonos" doesn't really cut it as the hard-and-fast defining factor. (That's why people kept tagging Kiryu as 'angura' on lastfm) Shironuri alone doesn't work either, as groups like Heidi. were considered a part of this scene, but did not do that (as far as I'm aware).
Another site uses this definition:
This one feels completely wrong. It seems like they're describing kote, but then listed examples that don't even match the definition they just wrote????

So, what's a better answer?
