I did infact, not end up eating my own words! An honest Review of EGG's new song and MV, GIMMIESUM!

 ちゃおっす It's Spacy! 

Time of writing is 4:28, I've been waiting for this song to drop for nearly 12 hours (ish) because despite the fact I called this song bad, I am actually very excited to listen to this song. Now, as I am writing this intro, I haven't listened to the song, nor have I even watched the music video, so I am truly excited to see if EGG is truly gonna make me eat my words, so. Let the honest review begin.... now!

So EGG's upcoming music video is interesting.....

 ちゃおっす It's Spacy! 

I haven't actually ever delved too deep into criticising EGG magazine as a whole because that's far too big of a topic to tackle in a single blog post.

Personally I don't see the point in 2 part blog posts since this isn't a youtube channel and I have no intentions of creating one, but I do have the perfect opportunity to explain why I am very sort of annoyed at EGG currently. And I know.... 2 blog posts in one month, lmfao.

1999-2012 Popteen volumes!... ALL of them (nearly)

ちゃおっす It's Spacy!

Why hello, for some reason I can't seem to produce a blog post that doesn't require me to be chronically unemployed, but I am sorta chronically unemployed which is why I could make this.

I actually wanted to do this with EGG but i'm currently pissed at EGG and someone already kinda did that, but I don't think i've seen anyone do this for popteen so I took it upon my unemployed self to do this, this shit was hard, I will put all of these onto a google drive folder, tbh some of the scans aren't good quality (bc i'm not gal revo or chogongal) and I still cannot find the january 1999 volume so that one is not there, but I got every volume after that. So please enjoy, because I put a stupid amount of effort into this because I decided to scan almost every image via an online scanner. The quality gets better as the year increases so the older ones will look like shit and the newer ones will look all nice and pretty.

Warning: I do not own any of these volumes so none of these images are mine

ALSO the title is MISLEADING, u are not about to find 155 popteen VOLUMES but 155 popteen volume COVERS, I didn't realise it was kinda misleading, I mean, I UNDERSTOOD wut i was talking about but I didn't consider people reading didn't, pls don't stone me for accidentally clickbaiting you

Sacrificed for Fame - The depravity of Kogyaru Magazine

 ちゃおっす It's Spacy!

So hello, wait is this a repost? Didn't you already do a deep dive into Kogyaru? Yes I did, and It was called 'a deep dive into Kogyaru' but this is an even deeper dive, as recently, I realised my criticism and my own research was truly surface level, and that Kogyaru and not just Kogyaru itself, but the parents of these models are truly engaging in some deranged activities.

I attempted to write this blog post many times but I found myself looking like next level hater, and I felt a lot of my criticisms fell to the waste-side due to the fact I was loosing my shit saying how much I rlly hated KOGYARU, so today, I will be calm, composed and demure.

And I don't usually preface this during the intro, but this is no negativity towards the Kogyaru models themselves, those are children, and I believe these children are being used, and I will explain the ways I believe this in said post. I also want to point out before you read this, these are all my theories and opinions, mixed in with some facts.

And now,  we will explore the history and problems regarding Kogyaru

スジ盛り? Big hair! The short history of sujimori in gyaru

ちゃおっす It's Spacy!..... The one thing I haven't talked about yet is hair and make, so today we are gonna change that by doing a dive into morigami/sujimori hair in the gyaru scene!

Recently i hit 700 followers so this is my thank you for 700 followers. On Thursday I was talking to my therapist and I told her I had felt like I wasted my summer holiday by not doing anything productive, so she told me to do things I like but not force myself to complete it, so despite this ramble, would it shock u to say im forcing myself to do this? Not in a bad way, but I'm actually motivated, so I will try be more motivated and not wait for a divine spark to remind me what I love doing

Reiwa Gyaru trends & styles, what trends do gyaru in Reiwa era love?

 ちゃおっす It's Spacy! Finally back to talking ab gyaru it's been forever (for me) but idk I just tweeted happy july and gained almost 30 followers and got almost 1000 likes across 2 posts talking ab gyaru so thank you random hit tweet for pushing my lazy arse back into blogging. And maybe I would blog more frequently if ADSENSE MONITISED MY BLOGGGGG but you didn't need to know that.

In the year 2024, the label gyaru is diverse, gyaru being a label that has stood the test of time for over 3 decades, from the early Heisei era of kogals, Namie and platform shoes, to the 2000s with the ayu boom, cheetah print, ageha boom, agejo and blah di blah, gyaru is a subculture people have participated in for decades, but what about.... this decade. What about Reiwa? we know what trended back then, but what is trendy now? What trends define the Reiwa era of gyaru?

A short - The core of subcultures - Can we create 2020s subcultures?

 ちゃおっす It's Spacy!.... lololol first post of July but none for June, sorry june baby i wasn't bothered, but today it's time for a short on subcultures. Subcultures is one thing i love, I love the community behind subcultures, the meaning and the history, I do run a blog on one. I think in an era ruled by aesthetics sometimes people forget what being an individual is, and standing and living where your soul belong.
