gyaru?

From Wikipedia:

Gyaru (ギャル?) is a Japanese transliteration of the English word gal, that of girl being gaaru (ガール?). The name originated from a 1970s brand of jeans called "gals", with the advertising slogan: "I can't live without men", and was applied to fashion- and peer-conscious girls in their teens and early twenties. Its usage peaked in the 1980s and has gradually declined. The term gradually drifted to apply to a younger group, whose seeming lack of interest in work or marriage gained the word a "childish" image. It is now used almost interchangeably with kogyaru.
Gyaru subculture is still a large influence in Japan's fashion economy with gyaru brands branching out and becoming more accessible in rural areas. In Tokyo, more often than not, a shopping center at each main train station is dedicated to offering the newest and trendiest items from popular Gal brands. Some brands are also reaching overseas by having their items easily accessible in webshops offering world-wide shipping services. Gal Circles (gyaru-sa/ギャルサー) are also a fun part of a gal's life. After peaking in 2007, the gyaru trend appears to have declined in Japan, but has gained in popularity in China.[1]
A Gal Circle is a group of gals that meet up and hold events promoting gal style, music, and parapara dancing. There are two main types of Gal Circles, Nago-cir (comfort circles) and Ive-cir (event circles).

>>6 well its mostly just fashion to me, but it differs for all people. some people say its a lifestyle, i call it japanese street fashion. it originally was dressing opposite to what people found beautiful, so dark skin, lots of white and black makeup, but now its evolved into different sub styles, but all gyarus know its necessary to work the style with confidence, thats the start. most styles require fake lashes and circle lenses (neither of which i have teehee i mean come on, doing that in highschool? not. happening) wearing fashionable clothes and having your nails done. thats pretty much gyaru in a nutshell. with that being said, it doesnt mean you have to do all that all of the time! i love to bum it sometimes in a t-shirt and sweats. i see no problem with it!

I know this is an old thread.. But gyaru is different to ganguro. OP is talking about ganguro, not gyaru.
