6 Japanese Subcultures That Are Insane (Even for Japan) | Cracked.com

I'm probably desensitized because of where I went to college, but these don't seem all that out-there to me.

I know the gold people one was kind of weird, but honestly, these all just kind of seem regular old Japan to me. Where's the cockroach eating porn subculture, y'know?

My ex loved Visual Kei bands... Dir En Grey (Which really doesn't dress visual kei anymore), LMC, Miyavi, Versailles... Some of the music was actually decent, I like some Dir En Grey and a bit of Miyavi's more blues-esque stuff. But yeah they dress weird as fuck.


Oh and Nogod is a fucking awesome band.

....you're not helping make them seem normal, dude.

They aren't normal at all, they are fucking weird.



Like NoGod here... fucking weird but they make pretty good music imo.

How is this any different from Guidos, Goths, Punks, or kids who put a few grand into making their Cadillac look like a McDonald's ad? Hell, bands like Slipknot, KISS, or Mudvayne started with pretty striking visual gimmicks like any Visual Kei band.

Whenever Hobo comes into a thread with a musical opinion, it is almost scientific fact that his opinion simply reinforces my opinion, which, normally, is the exact opposite opinion.

Different strokes for different folks.

... Wait, weird Japanese subcultures, and they didn't cover the hikikomori? For shame, Cracked.

That said, that whole kawaiisa thing (kinda-sorta covered in that article's Lolita section) Japan has going on does kind of creep me out. Perhaps this is because, unlike Icarus, I am not attracted to either little girls or Victorian china dolls.

them thar dekotora trucks look awesome. dare i say they look pimp.
