I couldn't have said it better. That was something I was trying to say, but for whatever reason couldn't get it out. That's definitely a main point. What people say can affect how others may look at you, and they may even follow along. It depends on if you're the one able to stand the tallest that will reveal the true outcome in the end. :]

I just think id look ridiculous if i tried to dress harajuku :P
I could probably pull off a gothic lolita dress.. but not V.K or decora or anything like that.

if you can't take criticism, don't do it. Cuz you'll just feel more uncomfortable.

Its perfectly natural for humans to be wary of change. Don't blame them. You're the one provoking it, and it's up to you whether you like that attention or not.

Harajuku girls are frightening.

yes! you should take the chance! don't change what you want just based on what other people would accept. they'll learn to deal with it sooner or later.:mtongue: as long as you like it, then go for it! you don't even have to be an all-out extreme about it if you're going to get made fun of otherwise.

Tokyo needs a Harajuku-type place. Osaka was the cooler city from what I saw, more rebellious types. Ask any Japanese who has travelled and they will say that the conformist ways of Japanese society are a little too strict. It's good to see that the same race of people can break from the mould and express themselves in different ways. A Borg-style homogeneous culture represses the true instincts in people. Look how hard Hue found it to separate from it, though.

I say go ahead and do what you want to do! People will look at you funny, but it doesn't matter what they think of you, it is how you think of yourself. And trust me, Harajuku can be tasteful! I think you will get more unwanted attention if you add too much to your wardrobe.

Good luck. =)
