I am aware that ganguro is originated from gyaru and that is not on it's peak anymore. I was just comparing both since a lot of people makes the parallelel between guido and ganruro, i just went a step fowardb3lurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07968196549330832090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911656913626092365.post-7940025847635010072011-07-18T22:17:24.636-07:002011-07-18T22:17:24.636-07:00While the two subcultures are not bad in compariso...While the two subcultures are not bad in comparison, I have to point out that the ganguro phase hit its peak around the 1990s - it's a really archaic fashion style in Japan nowadays. That being said, it's almost embarassing to be out in public decked out in full ganguro (there's a more softer approach nowadays that can be seen in popular teen Japanese fashion magazines like Ageha, Egg, and Popteen to a certain extent), whereas the guido style unfortunately has yet to die out (maybe when they stop producing hair gel). <br /><br />Also, you said that the ganguro subculture manifested as a means to defy the 'kawaii' subculture as it's too mainstream nowadays; the ganguro style actually evolved from the gyaru/gal subculture, which also includes other kawaii subcultures (e.g. hime, kogal, etc.), to defy the rigid Japanese social system, not another subculture. Think of it as being in an oppressive, grey, concrete dystopia but parading around in a myriad of bright colours mashed together in a nauseating, obnoxious way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911656913626092365.post-76693600949982091572011-07-18T18:02:25.890-07:002011-07-18T18:02:25.890-07:00i like when you talk raw like that! so true. it is...i like when you talk raw like that! so true. it is so disgusting to see, i can't believe they even like that - as for both.Hébé Blackbirdhttp://www.facebook.com/hebe.blackbirdnoreply@blogger.com
