Electronic Music 411 - can someone explain this to me?

sheesh. really guys, substitute most of the comments in here for a different category of people and you're walking a very thin line indeed... blatant stereotyping and bigotry.

I find it fascinating. Style/fashion in general is purely subjective and cultural. It always changes, and always will. From culture to culture to generation to generation. It's really quite neat. The japanese ganguro's are really really fascinating to me, and I imagine that most japanese people there see them in the same light you guys see these people.

Just live and let live and enjoy the ride.

I think bigotry doesn't usually extend to making fun of people who dress differently than you.

Unless those people are of a different ethnic background.

And I don't think we classify New Jerseyites as an ethnicity.

"Mean" might be a more apt term?

If it can be construed as "mean" when a bunch of guys (mostly) sit around the internet and make fun of the way other guys get laid.

kind of analogous to the "gyaru" / "gyaru-o" culture in japan. lots of kids with fake tans and bleached hair who like to listen to happy-hardcore and trance.

i just have to say that i grew up in eastern pennsylvania, and so i am totally exempt from being called a racist by hating all over these people.

it's the 80's. it came, stayed, and never left. when something happened in culture that was BIG AND BRASH enough to compete against the 80's, it was adopted (pink suits, blowout haircuts, tiesto, massive fake tans), and anything else was discarded. there's a glorious mtv true life called "I've got a timeshare on the jersey coast" which is the essence of atlantic city. and holy jesus am i glad i didn't ever have to go to high school in pennsylvania.

mlbot speaks truth. these guys probably get poon-tang up the wi-zang, so we shouldn't disrespect. or maybe we should, just so we can feel better about our own respective sexual inadequacies.
