Ohhhhh fascinating. I guess it ties in with those girls I saw in the documentary you linked me to, who were influenced by western fashion. And of course, in turn, we're heavily influenced by theirs (gwen steffani's vids).

It's because media in the west is just so powerful.

i posted an article about the topic in the halloween thread.....

I can respect that....when i went to Japan which was in October i found that Halloween is celebrated there in certain parts of Tokyo, which surpirsed me....I saw flyers for Halloween parties throughout Roppongi and Shibuya

That doesn't surprise me. American culture is all-pervasive, it's getting to the point where it's swamping the culture of other countries.

yes the wholesale importation of foreign traditions from america is not always a good thing.....as you mentioned...it's largely driven by the economics of multinational corporation.

As mentioned in that article. Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:

It's really silly in some cases. We have skinny white guys walking around dressed like American rappers, acting like American rappers... they are so NOT.

Even my girls sing with an American accent sometimes.

No offense to skinny white guys, but what is up with the skinny white guys dressing like ganstas??? I saw so many at school today, all tripping like they know the walk. :shakehead:

Lol. I saw that everyday during highscool. Mind you, I live in Orange County so skinny white guys trying to be ghetto was common. I used to live in Cerritos so seeing that was just so painful.

Heat getting pummeled by the Bulls...in Miami.. :beaten: :bonk:

Definitely. And in all fairness, I can't totally blame the skinny white boys in my school. There is a dominating gang population, so I guess they're just trying to fit in. It's when they try to replicate the gangsta attitude that you start seeing them fall below the level of coolness.
