I was searching for something else and this topic came up.

There is currently a huge surge in J-rock and Visual Kei interest.

Pretty much every anime convention these days has a musical guest or two. They are playing to packed auditoriums. There are full-fledged tours of the USA by many J-rock and visual kei bands.

The biggest sign for all of you is the fact that X-Japan is playing Madison Square Garden on September 13, 2008.
