Harajuku (Ϋh) is the common name for the area around Harajuku Station on the Yamanote Line in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo, Japan.
Though it was really just shopping area it became a Sunday hangout for the fashionistic teens of Japan in the 80's when street performers and wildly dressed kids started showing up to show off there own musical and artistic creations. Through this artistic outburst have come many subcultures such as: Visual Kei, Lolita, Decora, Ganguro, etc.
Since the solo career of the now oh so un-original Gwen Stefania terrible Americanised view of "harajuku" has been seen. With her latest tour and label Harajuku Lovers(rudely and obviously ripped off from Yasuharu Tanaka's famous Japanese fashion label, Super Lovers)Gwen's trendy American followers have developed poor knowlegde of the complex fashionistc society of Japanese Street Fashion that insults true fans in western civilization.

Gwen: "Harajuku girls have wicked style:
Gwen fan: "Look there's a heart on my shirt! Now I'm all Harajuku like my idol Gwen."
American JSF-er: "Gwen Stefani is a jerk."

Get the Harajuku mug.originates from japan. Harajuku girls have a very original style. They often mix and match a lot of different styles using things they bought from charity shops and very high priced designer clothes lines. It's extreme, surreal and super cute. Gwen Stefani is a huge fan- She's made songs about Harajuku and is even bringing out a Harajuku clothes line called L.A.M.B. (love angel music baby)
Harajuku girls, I'm looking at you girls
You're so original girls
You got the look that makes you stand out
Harajuku Girls, I'm looking at you girls
You mix and match it girls
You dress so fly and just parade around- Gwen Stefani 'Harajuku Girls'

This isn't really a definition. Anyways, 'Harajuku' is a location in Japan where the young and teenagers dress in their own fashions they invent themselves, or cosplay outfits.
In the song "Rich Girl".. or mainly any Gwen Stefani song, she has "her" Harajuku girls in it. Gwen paid four japanese girls to follow her around, and Gwen treats them like accesories. No woman, in my opinion, should be made into a mute fashion accessory. Just the image of four non-white women trailing around behind a white woman, hanging on her every word and not being allowed to speak… Can you really say that this is a harmless affectation? Asian fetishism nor not, this is certianly female fetishism.
Has anyone noticed the dominating hold she has over the girls? she claims ownership of them, dresses them up and gives them names (love, angel, music & baby).
I was under the idea that they were her posse, not the newest version of chihuahua. All she needs now is a collar and chain.
As soon as I saw her video for rich girl I had to leave the room, she’s giving japanese fashion such a bad name…”I'll dress them up and give them names” What the fuck?? They aren't items. Stefani should have just bought herself a new pair of diamond earrings instead of four slaves.

Gwen Stafani:"I'd get me four Harajuku girls to
Inspire me and they'd come to my rescue
I'd dress them wicked, I'd give them names
Love, Angel, Music, Baby
Hurry up and come and save me"
Me: LITTLE BITCH! -snipes her in her ass-crack-

Get the harajuku Girls mug.The horrible, ear bleeding, out of tune, break your face, stomach throbbing, song by Gwen Stefani.
I pretty much degrades Japanese girls and classes the fruits/decora look into ONE class, "Harajuku."
The girls that she totes around like an accessory, it is also an insult. Human beings are NOT accessories you no talent.
No Gwen, not all these girls come from Harajuku. She can't even pronounce Japanese right. Her, her song, and her fashion line is nothing but an insult to the Japanese culture.
If you listen to "Harajuku Girls," have some container ready, because you will vomit you're last meal. If you like the song, then you obviously are completely blind to culture and just plain stupid as a rock.

"You're looking so distinctive like D.N.A., like nothing I've
ever seen in the U.S.A."
ME: Then you're not looking hard enough idiot. There are us Decora and Fruits people here. Do your research before you blindly jump into things.
"(bishoujo you're so vogue)"
ME: Just shut up. You don't even know what you're talking about you Wapanese lame ass. Get a clue.
"Were mono - there's me, there's you (hoko-ten)
In a pedestrian paradise"
ME: Wannabe. Come on Gwen, you USED to have talent back in the days of yore!
"Cho saikou - Harajuku Girls
And that's what you drop, that's what you drop
(I don't think you understand I'm your biggest fan)
(Gwen Stefani - you like me?)"
ME: No you ho. Get a life and stop treating people like accessories. Japanese people DO NOT adore you. I was an exchange student, I know that crap. Idiot.
