Maybe that Nicki Minaj creature travels here for inspiration?

Jjt

Don't forget the beast lady gaga
Jay$$

I'm just surprised Jackie Chan has so many different outfits.

Jay More $

Do you like fried chicken?

hydrogenbond

Whatever, it's their style and it's not meant for you. At least they give a damn about what they wear beyond some stupid t-shirt with Bill Murray on it or photoshopped girls in their underwear.

Always Last

I'd rather see this than the emo people.

etcrr

There has to be something in their water to make them all this weird

Witchlover

Fuck they're ugly!
DeadEye Dick

Nuclear fallout?

Joblo

Lol was gonna saw the same thing. Guess this is what happens after a nuke

rich

"make them all this weird"? you're a dumbfuck, etcrr.

Uhhmm

Suddenly lady gagas outfits seem normal….well maybe….never mind
Robert Flint

Guess I've been out here too long most of those seem pretty normal

TokyoREW

Same here. Coming up on my 6th year in Tokyo and was thinking, "So, where's the unusual shtuff?"

#40 is bone-able.

Boobies

The Chird

Ben

banananah

banananah

i live in japan and believe me….its gets worse than these photos.

Martin_McFly

It's true.. the Harijuku Hipsters (arguably the most eccentric) will steal your camera if they catch you taking their picture.

You mean draw back a bloody stump after attempting to steal my camera?

OpMongoose

Ahh. Classic Gern.

Underbaker

I'm guessing most of them are dressed like some anime character, my daughters could probably name each one.

ShibuyaNatsukashii

You would guess wrong, actually. They're just trying to be hip
It's "just a phase" for most of them, before they get crushed by society and change in Salarymen (black suit, horrible tie) or Office Lady (beige skirt, white.blouse)

Ian Anderson

Ahh, another guy going to Japan thinking he's a big shot with yellow fever…typical.

yeah

"i live in japan and believe me….its gets worse than these photos."

From that statement you get that he thinks he's a big shot with yellow fever? Tell us Ian…does it take years of study and a degree of some kind to be that much an a fucking idiot?

Ian Anderson

I assume by your angry response that you too are American with dreams of being "famous" in an Asian country…typical.

Break lance

Tell me how I can make this possible. I can't and won't learn your language, only speak American. I won't eat your rice food, only American for me because Americaaaaaa! (eff ya!) I also currently don't reside in your country or really wish to be there – I just want to be a celebrity cause i'm so smart and funnAMERICA!!!!! Sorry that happens sometimes.

Muadieb

People from capitol city in Hunger Games?

meh.

thats outside of denver.
http://thechive.com/ GernBlansten

Hunger Games = Twilight for kids who 'think' they're cool.

fendermallot

apparently they all want to be taller. Barely any photos without someone wearing platforms! Also, why does everyone throw up peace signs in asian countries? Wait, most of them were under British rule at once time… they're all flipping us off, aren't they?!

Simon

Different sign entirely, I'm afraid. Palm out, peace. Palm in, potentially offensive. Depending on where you're from, of course.
spike

In Japan it means yata….which is sort of a celebratory exclamation. you have prpbably heard vidoe game charaters say it.
fendermallot = idiot

You're an idiot. Who was under british rule? Maybe India and a few small territories in Hong Kong & Singapore and that's about it.

Hmmmm Samurai's and Ninjas don't seem so bad ass anymore

right.

I think by viewing this post it makes ninjas look more awesome, as they have removed themselves from whatever this culture seems to be.

DJC

As much as I *ahem* don't like what they are wearing, I think it's pretty cool how most of them look individual. Better than hipsters anyway…

Boobies

This is the Asian version of hipsters.
banananah

yeah, most people, wearing non standard clothing, being individuals and all
thedude325

Yea I'd definitely visit Japan….once.

Frenchiver

Sorry Chive, don't see the point of the post :/

Boobies

Sorry Frenchiver, don't see the point of the post :/

banananah

Sorry boobies, i have to work late this evening :/

snooze

why not wave a white flag instead?

LOL

Haha oh snap!

MI

OMG ! Whats wrong with those people !?!
Oregon_country

I bet if you went to any major city in the US it wouldnt be much different. Tell me NY and LA wouldnt have a few "differently" dressed people?
kylecali

#19 pretty sure that's just a normal kimono, a traditional kind of Japanese clothing. the rest of the pictures seem like cosplay.

MattKL

Yeah, this one seems pretty normal.
alexsmart

except you never wear a hat with a kimono. so no, this is not normal

Byron_Black

Oh, what the hell. Let them be kids. As soon as you get an office job in Japan, you turn into an emasculated drone.
Hank

Well, it's more interesting than people wearing sweatpants all the time.
Chris

#24
Looks like Howad Stern was able make it after all.

I think the Ramones impregnated some people on the last Japan tour.

Hunter

Joey's love child!

Boobies

They all look perfectly normal. Well, except for #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, and #40.

Other than that, all normal.
vandal

CLAZY!
Cal1

All black belts in kung foo so they can dress like they want

LucretiusCarus

Pretty sure Kung Fu is Chinese, not Japanese.

"I'm originally from Laos."

"So, are you Chinese or Japanese?"

Chivin' Dutchman

#2 There's one in my class that has outfits like this.

Deviant

it's called lolita
Sami

Rod

Japan – where people like to get dressed in the dark.
