visual rock died with hide...well at least i think so
Still alive and kickin', as far as i know....Visual Kei, that is....
it runs mainly with the Indies bands, and depending on how unique it is, they keep the look for a while, like Pyscho le Cemu, Kagrra,, Metronome, Nightmare, DespairsRay, etc.

Where and How are they now?
They unfortunately disband quite a long time ago...I forgot the exact date...sometime in the mid 90s, i think? Anyways, Yoshiki, the drummer/lfounder/leader has his own record label, and has produced bands such as Dir en grey, and currently is producing Korean band The TRAX. Toshi, the vocalist...I heard he got suck up into some cult, where they brainwashed him into giving them his money...O_o Pata(Gutiarist) and Heath (Bass)....I think one or both of them started another band called Dopezhead....and Hide...well, he unfortunately passed away on May 2, 1998, from what appeared to be suicide, but most think it was an accident...anyways, before he died, he went on a solo career, started his own record label, and founded such bands as Spread Beaver and Zilch.
