week 7 Street Fashion

Week7
Xinyu-Yang


Yuniya Kawamura, author of the article "Japanese Teens as Producers of Street Fashion", mentioned the background of Japanese street fashion and its social analysis. The author points out that this is a Female-Dominated Japanese Subcultures, and that teenagers are producers and consumers of Japanese street fashion. Even emerged, many teenagers began to believe that anyone could become an untrained designer in the late 1990s. I think this is the consumer's decision on the direction of the market. Some Japanese teenagers are more willing to pursue Scarcity, Originality, and Speed.Japanese street culture has also gradually spread. As an Asian, I can deeply feel the influence of Japanese street culture on other Asian countries. Even my friends will be willing to go to Japan personally to buy clothes such as BAPE STORE. It can even be said that the West Coast of the United States is also deeply influenced by Japanese street culture.Secondly, the author also mentioned Ganguro, although now Ganguro has gradually become obsolete in Japan. But what puzzles me is that Ganguro is completely different from the traditional Asian aesthetic. As far as I know, some people think that this is a kind of revenge for the traditional Japanese society. Some people speculate that this is caused by some young girls who are obsessed with American black musicians. But no one can determine the origin.




Q: Does tattoo belong to Japanese street culture?
