‘Every thing cool comes from Japan,’ is a statement that I’ve heard relatively frequently whenever a trend or fad takes the world by storm. This would include phenomena like Tamagachis, neon colors, graphic tees, pogs, the Power Rangers, or baseball. This group of Korean teens remind me of Japanese people, so can you identify any trends in this pic that will invade the Western World by 2k20?
Most trends may or may not originate at the red spots of this map

ASIANS CAN WEAR ANYTHING
they find shit on the side of the road and wear it, purely because they can
then we bring the ‘trends’ west and shit all over them

Asians just take existing trends and make them lame and over the top…and they all look the same and can’t drive for shit.

i’d say people who start the trends come from the least trendy places, and they inspire people in london and new york, who in turn influence the world into a ‘trend’
