It's kind of like punk-meets-Emo-meets-Tye die.

Not that I don't like the style. I just can't figure out why it's almost only Japan freaks. I don't know if they really dress like that Japan or what, but even the anime and manga characters aren't so... 'loud'.

I confused~!!! T_T
I guess one could say that Japan "freaks" (as you call them ~ ) tend to like Harajuku style, if they like Japanese fashion at all. That includes punk, decora, and visual kei, which can all include crazy hair colors and lots of peircings.

I hope you are less confused now ~ !
