Gyaru are NOT for teen/kids

If you don't know about gyaru and the origins of the style, I recommend researching it before reading this blog.

On tiktok and other social networks, the Japanese gyaru style has expanded and attracted more people interested in this alternative style of living. If you ask me, yes, I am gyaru and I have been part of the community for a year; obviously I don't know everything but I wanted to point out some things that I've been observing these days.


On the internet it is very difficult to keep control of who your content will reach, sometimes that video may reach people who are not the target audience. Gyaru, like other subcultures, were created to go against the norm of society.

Japan has always been a very conservative country and gyaru was born to go against this thinking; that is, wearing short clothes, tanning, wearing a lot of makeup, etc. "But there are Kogals that are for teenage girls," yes, but Kogal is for girls who are still learning about the subculture. As Gyaru is a very sexualizing style, it is not recommended for minors.

If you are a baby gal and if you want to dress like this, be very careful! There will always be creepys everywhere, what I recommend is that you don't wear very short clothes. Dress the way you like, but we can't ignore that the outside world is dangerous, especially for girls.

I see a primary school girls gal group on Instagram and it looks sad . The comments have people being weird to the girls because they dress provocatively like gal, one wears fish tights and mini skirt . Have you heard ? What do you think

I think it depends a lot on the sub, if it's kogals I don't see a problem but I still think they should wait a little, at least until high school. Even though, it's not a justification for people to go and be weird in the comments, it says a lot more about the people who commented than the girls themselves.

I agree, why do people have to be so weird?

I'm in the main gyaru facebook group and we found out there was a TWELVE YEAR OLD in the group???? This kid just decided not to read any of the rules and joined just because?? It's so frustrating trying to talk gal when there is a literal child inserting herself into every conversation because she thinks she knows what she's talking about There's no issue with kids and young teens having an interest in gyaru, but they should not be forcing themselves into spaces for actual gals smh
