A member of a
sub-culture popular in Nepal during the mid-2000s. Tyape’s are usually stoners who have long hair, wear earrings and sometimes sag their
pants. Their go-to music consists of Rock, Hip-Hop &
Pop. Tyape’s also grow their pinky fingernail. Most Tyape’s are in a band or play some sort of rock instrument,( i.e., Electric Guitar, drums, bass, etc). Tyape is the short form of “Tapare” which is a derogatory term towards young
men who wear earrings.
