@tsuyomeprincess: Gyaru didn’t start as a rebellious/feminist movement; it started cus girls just wanted to follow a fun, cute fashion trend. **it was a mainstream fashion trend** that TURNED into a social rebellion only after society tried to suppress it, not started because of some movement. cited some sources in the comments! #gyarutiktok #ギャル #gyaru #gyarumakeup

Sources: 1. Yasumasa Yonehara (Founder/Editor of Egg Magazine) (Source: Historical retrospective and interviews featured on fashion platforms like Sabukaru Online https://sabukaru.online/articles/gyaru-revolution-yone-san-and-the-influence-of-egg-magazine) Yonehara explicitly states that the culture was entirely organic and accidental: "The gyaru totally came out of nowhere." He explains that he simply went to Shibuya with a camera to photograph real teenagers hanging out. 3. Fashion historian W. David Marx, author of Ametora: How Japan Saved American Style, and archivist at Néojaponisme. https://neojaponisme.com/2012/02/28/the-history-of-the-gyaru-part-one/ Marx's research traces the very word "Gyaru" back to a 1970s commercial jeans marketing campaign by Levi's called "Gals." The subculture was built on consumerism, fashion media, and retail spaces like Shibuya 109 not some political organizing 3. Direct Testimony from 90s Gyaru (The Intergenerational Perspective) In interviews where original 1990s Gyarus speak alongside their children, they emphasize that the style was just what was popular at the time. ( Source: A notable interview with a veteran 1990s Gyaru named Emi (and her modern Gyaru daughter, Haruka) hosted by CYBRGRL on YouTube) Emi explicitly notes that her introduction to the style was simply seeing what was popular around her and wanting to join in on the trend. She discusses how 90s Gyaru was fundamentally built around community, hanging out with friends, and enjoying the music/dance trends (like ParaPara) rather than acting out a political stance. +So many Japanese gals on Twitter admit they are/were gyaru cus it was cute.. lol..

THIS!!! People often talk about gyaru as if girls were marching through the streets actively fighting beauty standards, the patriarchy, and society itself. In reality, most of them were reading magazines, shopping, going clubbing, taking purikura, chasing trends and trying to look cute. The style did challenge mainstream expectations, but that’s very different from being founded as a social or political movement. The rebellion mostly came from society’s reaction to gyaru, not because gyarus set out to become activists!

LUL :

Gyaru is a highly established Japanese subculture that originated in Tokyo's Shibuya district during the 1970s and 1990s. Gyaru is a massive umbrella term for a variety of overlapping sub-trends, subcultures, and aesthetic movements rather than a single, static style. THIS IS WHATS HAPPENING ON TIKTOK>>> The In-Group/Out-Group Dynamic: When subcultures gain popularity, they develop specific aesthetics. People who follow these trends closely often police others to validate their own sense of belonging.Aesthetic vs. Ethos: True "alternative" culture originally started as an ethos of rebellion and authenticity. Today, much of it has shifted into a highly curated "aesthetic" on platforms like TikTok or Instagram, where conformity to a specific look is heavily rewarded.The Validation Trap: Some people tear down others simply to make themselves feel more authentic or superior within the subculture.
