Harajuku Street Style Interview: Taiwanese Punk x Japanese Kawaii
New interview with Yen, a Taiwanese punk singer/guitarist who lives in Japan and has become a well known personality in Harajuku’s kawaii fashion scene. She works at the famous Harajuku kawaii boutique 6%DOKIDOKI and will start Bunka Fashion College later this year.
are you worried about being perceived as a poser in your local punk scene? My biggest tip is to not shove yourself into the little box of what you think a punk should be. The culture of punk should be diverse, that’s what makes it beautiful. You want to go to a show wearing all pink and cute dresses? fucking go for it!!! rock it! if anyone says anything to you about “not being punk enough” they are full of bullshit and are definitely projecting their insecurities onto you.
Okeez so first off I just want to say that I love Hot Topic and I love that they brought back emo fashion and I'm extremely excited for the social collision collection from Xochitl Gomez so this in no way is me trying to put down HT or Xochitl because I'm super excited about what's going on with that collab (and maybe I will even post about it when it comes out)
But I wish HT would bring back scene fashion in full force not just the belts or Gloomy Bear or Invader Zim, I would love to see more neon monster shirts and hoodies come back and I'd love to see Domo make a return, I feel like just like how I see tons of emo content creators and people getting into the style I also see lots of scene content creators and I think it would be cool to bring all of it back in full force since so many people love it.
If they can make black and red clothes for emos than why shouldn't they put out sick neon scene fashion too?
