Oooh, I wish you had gotten into the reasoning why lolita and really cutesy styles became popular. They were the Japanese version of punk for women, essentially - rejecting the entire concept of mature woman that they were being forced into at a young age. It was seen as a more repulsive trend to men, which made it even more popular with women.

Reimo I’m thinking it’s not necessarily romantic rejection but like parents, relatives, teachers, bosses, etc.

[@raisamu9]

Reimo actually it’s not really a lie. Back then it was traditional for women to focus everything they had into becoming “proper” wives and such and putting the family first. Meaning learning to be a proper “lady”. Lolita was started by women who wanted to go against these traditions and allow themselves to focus on their own happiness than just the happiness of the man of the house. So back when Lolita started it was pretty frowned upon there is a video by Scarfing Scarves, a Lolita youtuber, they made a two part video about how Lolita is a feminist fashion style. In part 1 they explain the history of how Lolita started. I would suggest watching that if you’re interested

_Very good! I just loved it! I'm a fan of Japanese fashion. I find it very interesting 😁💙_

[@giannathonn694]

most people are saying they may be “ overdressed “, but the old gyaru style is gorgeous.

[@Queenkirlia]

Unfortunate how you guys didn’t feature the “Modern Gaaru” style of the 20s, considering the political contributions those women made.

[@Jadiewady]

I wrote my thesis on the Chinese equivalent 新女性. It's really interesting :)

[@saeefa]

Gaaru was'nt as big as you think, it was a minority movement

[@babyszaa]

@saeefa Japanese are. . .okay.

岡田恵梨香 dude......come on😓

[@FujishimaAkiko]

alexis, did you read what Stephanie Rodriquez took out of her oh so busy day to write to a stranger? Sure, what 岡田恵梨香 said wasn't cool either. Call them both out though, not just one over the other.. lol.

[@dianafreeman9897]

I'm half Japanese so when I went to Japan over the summer I felt so out of place bc Tokyo is filled with a bunch of rich fashionable people and I legit felt like a time traveler that guessed what the fashion was like in 2017 and failed miserably

[@user-us8se9iu9m]

Diana Skates you're not alone. I grew up where simple and casual is hot. Going here makes me wonder a lot of things.

I'm half Japanese too! And I also went to Japan this summer!

[@hey_boss88]

i think you guys did a pretty good job considering it was only a 4 minute video. if anyone wants more in-depth explanations of other japanese street styles i would suggest looking up kumamiki "evolution of japanese street fashion"

Thank you so much! That's the stuff I hope to see when I click on these type of videos.

Japanese street styles is mostly formal, very similar to western formal clothing.

[@HinataUchihaInuzuka9]

They did a terrible job....

Wow japanese fashion simple but good

[@clvudiicvpidd2161]

Honestly even though these videos arent the best at all for research, its still fun to watch if you just need to pass the time

[@__and__7840]

They don’t understand correct Japanese fashions. There’s too many mistakes. Pls Don’t spread your wrong information.

[@user-lr9dv7zr3p]

For the people, Japan it's like another plantet, the information of the country it's confusing most of the time, it's only another culture.

[@karina_martinez420]

Glad I read the comments first

[@yoona2817]

Kim RIGHT…

[@doesntmatter7292]

Dead「背徳の花」 Then maybe they should do actual research before making an “informative” video lol.

that's what it literally translates to so i don't understand what you find funny, this is their language and culture and shouldn't be made into a joke, it sounds degrading.

[@candiigurl7893]

Growing up loving Japanese fashion I have to say, they've really mellowed out since 2010. It's almost as if classic Harajuku isn't even a thing anymore. :\

[@mbunni]

pleased to let you both know they are definitely not dead! im really into japanese style clothing too, went to japan last year + this year and the culture is very much still alive and thriving. Harajuku is still an amazing place where you can see lots of unique and wild styles! and theres always new stores popping up too.

[@iCJGOM]

korea is a thing now lol

[@Noname-qe3fg]

it’s still popular today and japan is known for harajuku stuff

[@seacat7364]

It is still alive but I think it is more of a tourist attraction more than anything

[@JokersSerious]

the average length of time for experimenting with fashion in the Harajuku area is 3 years. young people enjoy it, then inevitably grow older and need to worry about making a living and paying their own way in life. plus, style is so diverse it seems a bit difficult for foreigners to understand. in the west you have a handful of style 'categories'. people watch videos like these and complain - the truth is they still have trouble trying to establish style sets/cliques like our cultures condition us to. they won't be getting that information cuz there are literally too many to count. always thought the Japanese truly got what fashion really meant. it can be as diverse as their population, ffs.

[@jaesooh]

I love this!!!!!
