Isn't it? From what I understand they fit the bill perfectly. The rest of the online world seems to agree with that as well.

The problem is that visual kei doesn't describe their music, just their style in clothing, haicuts, performance, dancing and other visual aspects. Visual Kei could range from pop, rock, glam, electronica, power metal to extreme metal.
Now, How should we describe DIR EN GREY? its difficult to put them in a genre, so just lets say they do experimental metal

That's why they're referred to as visual kei, the same reason why glam rock bands are referred to as glam rock. It's a stylistic tag, not a genre.
As for their style, I'm pretty sure electronic/alternative metal is more appropriate than experimental metal.

Hence "visual kei survivors" - I was referring to the movement, not the supposed "genre" of visual-kei, which I agree doesn't actually exist.

THey don't look like clowns from visual kei movement. Even they don't describe themselfs like this anymore.

Maybe they no longer look the part but they're generally considered to be one of the most iconic bands in the scene.
Also, just because a band describes themselves as something doesn't make it true.
