Neomarxisme has posted a very through article on the 90’s Koga, gangs of girls who were sexually promiscuous and antisocial until the Japanese fashion police declared them cool. Thats when the whole trend got made into a national phenomenon of ephebophilia, consumerism and decadence that even lead to creation of the Ganguro (see picture) and Yamamba styles.

An interesting read for anyone who is into the fashion trends of Japan and specially Harajuku.
