The Shamate | China's Hated Cyberpunks

[@neopessimist7326]

I once saw a video bashing the Shamate, just for how they looked. I started to watch video's about the origins of the subculture and only got more respect for the shamate subculture. And now i kinda see it as the embodyment of "no matter how dire the situation is, people will find a way to enjoy themself.". And i just love that about these guys.

[@RoboArc]

It's a vibe, it's like 80s big hair anime scene kids. 😂 and as a scene kid back in the day, I approve of all this rn

[@travishelmkamp]

Right along with you there. I thought it was dumb as hell when I first saw it. After learning more about them and their whole subculture I really hafta respect them.

[@zeitgeistx5239]

They are looked down upon in China because their “peasants” or poor country folk that became factory workers in urban areas. Social class bias is very very strong in East Asia. I literally dated a girl from Taiwan and ended the date within minutes because she asked about my background and realized I was born in the mainland and scoffed at me, so I walked right out of the date instantly.

[@VirtualDialog]

@@zeitgeistx5239i mean that might also have to do with China trying to erase Taiwan from the map

[@CNYKnifeNut]

​​​@@VirtualDialog More likely that it was either a perceived slight that actually wasn't, or just never happened. Rando Chinese guy has no control over the actions of the Chinese government, and all the (admittedly, fairly intelligent) Taiwanese people I know understand that

I watched a video from serpentza on shamate and it was one of the rare instances of him speaking positively about something from china. He used to go to raves with them and said they were the only people who he felt genuinely accepted him for who he was, not because of the money or a foreigner status.

[@Gianfranco_69]

"Rare Instances" ....... he compliments China and People regularly..... its the CCP that ruined Chinese life but i have a slight inkling you already knew that ...

[@zeitgeistx5239]

As a Chinese person that grew up in the West, Serpentza is pretty hardcore subvert racist. I can literally be his Chinese counter part if I made a channel that only revolved around all the negative and evil things in American society. But I’m not insane.

[@davidemelia6296]

The thing about Serpentza is, he's a piece of shit who shifted into anti-China propaganda (that is what he produces) when he realised there was more of a market for it than his crappy travelogues. He's always had a colonial, 'white god' mentality, so it's not surprising that he wasn't accepted for 'what he was'. Because he was, is, and always will be a piece of shit.

[@NeostormXLMAX]

Serpentza was a sex pest who got BANNED FROM JAPAN😂😂😂 even japan and korea didnt want him, before settling in china

Bro. God Bless You for posting this. As someone who has never heard of Shamate before, I now have so much respect for the subject of this video and you, especially because you put so much high level effort into putting this together so beautifully. You captivated me the entire time while teaching me about a subculture Id never knew while helping me respect exotic expression like Visual Kei. Thank you and rock on!!!

[@r1bcaged]

This is really wicked video! I recently became very invested and a big fan of Shamate, and started writing my own article for a personal blog about it last month so It's really cool to see others covering this subculture!

[@anitacrumbly]

one thing to point out authoritative = trust worthy and likely to be respected vs. authoritarian: strict and demanding especially in terms of type of governing style. I only point this out because I've had so many discussions of authoritative parenting vs. authoritarian and how authoritative is the healthiest (think "gentle" parenting that is becoming more common). Authoritarian parenting is the strict, no discussion, throw your stuff away, still believe in spanking, track kids with gps down to the minute kind of parenting. So it's important that people don't equate authoritative with authoritarian when it's not correct. Otherwise great video and don't usually point things out but i thought this was important. keep up the great work :)

[@jeremycunningham7897]

[@TIENxSHINHAN]

When you look at the hukou system in the context in which it was created, you can see the logic behind it. In the 1950s, China was not only one of the poorest countries on earth, but it was overpopulated and only had a handful big cities. If the government allowed people to migrate to wherever they wanted, poor people would all go to Beijing and Shanghai and the two cities would immediately become overrun with migrants and cause the deterioration of both cities. Look at Nigeria for example. Lagos used to be a beautiful city, but since it's one of maybe two big cities in Nigeria, it's overpopulated and falling apart rapidly. But in the modern day, China has over 100+ big cities. The hukou system is no longer needed. But because of the hukou system, the government is able to lie about its homelessness rate. If a migrant is homeless in a city that they have no ID for, then it doesn't actually count because they weren't supposed to be there in the first place, they have a home in whatever province they originally came from😇

[@addiemarieruhome]

Lol thank you propaganda bot

[@hozic9929]

To be honest this Punky aesthetic is so cool

[@kiseee1774]

Very well, I think the attraction some people have with black magic or the ocult, can be traced back to our primordial desire for religious meaning in our lives. The darkness is intoxicating because it is mysterious and since it has a time of forbidden, it gives us a feeling of a greater power to be controlled and used. It is a form of expression combined with a religious outlook on life. Very interesting and very beautiful 🙂

[@Blanco_Meow]

Luo Fuxsing talking about sitting at home and doing his hair and makeup alone is totally relatable to me. There’s something empowering about doing this.

[@zeroworldcraft]

[@MaleTears]

[@RhiannonSenpai]

Regarding the title of the video: I think more than Cyberpunk, Shamate are meant to copy Visual kei musicians as well as male hosts as portrayed in Japanese media ( for example Ouran Highschool Host Club etc.) . Cyberpunk Shamate seem to be a subgroup of the wider Shamate.

[@liptoncunningham6666]

shamate might very well have been inspired by actual hosts bc it's very edgy to imitate s*x workers. I do want to clarify a common misconception in the west. The anime OHHC, does not accurately show how hosts look or operate in Japan. The characters are bougie private school kids, and the demographic for the manga and show were teenagers, so it's very sanitized. What OHHC shows is closer to an experience at a themed restaurant or cafe in Japan. The closest equivalent to hosts in the west is vegas nightlife combined with male s*x work/ gigolos. It's red light district work, so it's under the table, and shady. clients are mostly female s*x workers or women who have money and are considered too old, or powerful, to marry

[@lucynyu333]

It would not surprise me if the murders of some shamates were true. In 2012 up to 70 teenage boys were killed in Iraq who dressed in emo style and the murders were carried out by paramilitary groups as an attack on Western culture. Even in Hungary in 90s and early 2000s the skinheads would beat up young men who dressed in punk-rock style clothing. I witnessed that myself multiple times. Everywhere in the world bored narcissists always looking for vulnerable people to attack and humiliate because individuality is a way of fighting back being controlled and being shat on with a help of a community that is a threat to rich people and governments.

[@killercow444]

I’m pretty sure shamate is pronounced (SHA-MA-TOUE/TOE) not (SHA-MA-TAY)

[@liptoncunningham6666]

His pronunciation is WHACK. at first I thought it was bc he never heard the words pronounced but then he showed clips of the words being pronounced in documentaries. If you're gonna be doing this stuff for a living, pronounce the words right bro

[@zanakil]

same for Adieu, that he pronounced "adoo", like the word "ado" in "a lot ado for nothing", the Shakespeare play. It's pronounced A-dee-uh, folks, and means "to God" originally.

[@VHeartOld]

Vkei fan here! I’m probably a bit late to the party, and someone has probably already said it, but this style seems more similar to Oshare, a visual kei substyle that popped up in the late 2000s and 2010s I think? It’s a lot more like scene fashion, it’s an upbeat and colourful take on the genre and it’s one of my favourite styles. I wish it stuck around a bit longer as I believe now it’s considered a mostly dead style. Also man, these stories are heartbreaking. Though, as an alt person myself, I always find it fascinating how self expression becomes such a powerful and often resorted to tool in protest!

[@missandry420]

They remind me more of goths, i think. Especially how goths looked in Japan in the 80s in Japan before the style became visual kei. It's really cool. I'm glad this video showed up in my feed.

[@liberatumplox625]

At least (in China of all places) a subculture was left alone to thrive. In the UK, most (maybe all) of our subcultures, were driven by music. Now (post 2000) all of them are stillborn. Musical subcultures have no time to cook in the shadows. Before the cells have barely had time to divide (let alone, form, mutate and evolve) the greedy spotlight of commercialism, shines upon them. Our spaces have been captured, and the Internet, social media, rampant commercialism - and even DEI have all had their part to play. The native youths of the UK, have had their souls stolen, and the only way they know that to be true, is through depression - and the uncanny feeling - that something they have never known, is missing.

[@faequeenapril6921]

I feel for them, the fact that they were literal kids who went to work in factories for little money so they wouldnt starve and they were able to band together for a sense of community is in a way heart warming. There's an underclass that has developed in my own country (that im part of), but they're nowhere like this, they tend to wear track suits and do crime like sell drugs. But the issues are there and its growing. We truly do live in a cyberpunk world, just China is the literal definition of it while other countries are slowly getting there. When I was getting into my teen years in the 2000s there was so much optimisim where I'm from, homelessness was almost solved, peoples wages were really good etc etc but the moment 2008 happened everything changed, and the government that took over in my country decided to basically destroy the place. You can literally see the low life growing bigger each passing day, like in my city when I moved there for university in 2020 for the most part the city was peaceful but now I hear about gun battles happening in broad daylight, more homeless, more people struggling.

[@Goldenbear6]

When I was in college, there was a time when Sha Ma Te was quite popular on the internet. Young wearing with exaggeratingly weird hairstyles and clothes are suddenly everywhere on the internet, although most of the comments are disapproving their actions. Later I realized they are just a tight-knit community with children from disadvantaged backgrounds and unable to find a comfortable life in the big cities. People judge them not entirely because of their weird fashion style, but because they are poor and uneducated.

[@RayeBlevins]

I lived in China and knew some Shamate! They were amazing people

[@Month-Day-Year]

And as a former Scene Kid from the MySpace era. And I’m talking peak scene era. 2003-2010, after that it kind of got too mainstream to still be a subculture. Much like prehistoric emos listening to Cursive and wearing sweater vests with button downs looking like members of weezer. where as when it got mainstream, kids would listen to MCR and wore black and a To Write Love On Her Arms shirt being called Emo. During its time, scene was a subculture made up of lower middle - low income - or even poor class kids who went to post-hardcore shows (metalcore, grindcore, ect) that took from tenants of punk with DIY fashion, colorful aesthetic, and built around a music scene. Scene was much more than just a look. It was a social group that allowed the weirdos a place to feel welcome and belonging. This seems like the Chinese version of scene to a T

[@littlewickedlaugh1216]

Compared to a lot of other closed cultures the shamate actually seem like they have a solid point to make and that's dressing so vibrantly to be noticed since they're literally getting shit on as people by everybody else and are barely surviving. I can get behind something like that way easier than some protest based on some musical genre or what have you, this has nothing to do with all we take for granted, it's literally people who can't get noticed in any other way and could potentially blend in with the homeless no one treats as humans anyway if it wasn't for this.
