I think when people grow up in a stricter more conformist environment they have a stronger urge to let go, rebel and express themselves.

So why? Japan is very tolerant, isn't it?

No. LOquence is right. By dressing the way they do and wearing that make up they are rebelling against the set ideal of beauty in Japan (pale skin, dark hair)

I think they look cute sometimes, like in this picture. And I like the idea, and what they are rebelling against.

She doesn't look cute in this picture. She looks like sweet-idiot.

I thought it was the other way. It looks like they're conforming to the western idea of beauty.

Not at all. xD

And good links lollollollollol

Not my cup of tea but I don't think it's completely frightful. Maybe a little outrageous!    Prefer Lolita myself~

Personally, I quite like Japanese fashion.  England tends to stay on the "safe side" with skinny jeans ruling the cat walks for months on end, and having returning trends.  I like how the japanese step out and go for it, rather than sticking to whatever they see on the magazine covers...

It's not my favourite Japanese trends (And trust me, they have trends... and I've never seen a guy look better in a skirt!), but it's not that bad. Like Lollollollollol said, the trend has been updated, and the pics are a bit outdated. It's also more popular among the richer girls, though not exclusively. I tend to favour the elegant lolita style a bit more, but... Well. Like I said, it's not that bad. I've some American girls lookin' worse.

What's with the white bits around the eyes and mouth???! O.O
This the new fashion of Japan?! Can't be.. X-X

It's not really new, been around quite a while.

I think it is quite strange.
I think Japanese women are gorgeous and should embrace their unique qualities, rather than go tanning and bleach their hair to look like Barbi.  It shoes how our distorted American ideal of beauty is taking over the world.

ganguro is awsome and lolita/gothic lolita. if i could choose one place in the world to go shopping it would be tokyo...or more specificaly harajuku. you can ear whatever you want there and its not only accepted but embraced. i love the thought of that

I think Yamambas can only be understood in Japan, where they have so many extreme fashion styles! I like them though (which doesn't mean I'd dress like them )

Ganguros. Nice.(??)
I woudn't EVER dress like that, but guess it must fit SOMEONE??
.......
(Or not.)

Not really my thing ... but what ever makes you happy.
