OTAKUS

In modern Japanese slang, the term otaku refers to a fan of any particular topic. Common uses are anime otaku (anime fan), manga and cosplay otaku (Japanese fan comics), pasokon otaku (computer experts), Gemu otaku (video games), and Wota (pronounced 'ota', previously known as "otaku idol ") that are extreme fans of idols, heavily promoted girls singing. There are otaku or denshamania Tetsudo (railfans) or Gunji otaku (military fanatics).
While these are the most common uses, the word can be applied to anything (music otaku "," martial arts otaku "," kitchen otaku ", etc.)
Some Japanese otaku use the term to describe themselves and their friends with humor, accept their amateur status, and some even use the term with pride, trying to recover from its negative connotations. In general use, however, most Japanese consider not to use the word "Otaku" to describe someone, and many even consider it an insult.
Otaku derives from a Japanese term used to refer to a home or family (お 宅, otaku) and is also used as an honorific second person pronoun. Appeared in modern colloquial register in the eighties. In the anime series Macross (1982), the term is used by the character Lynn Minmay as honorific pronoun. Some animators like Haruhiko Mikimoto and Shoji Kawamori use the term among themselves as honorific second person pronoun in the late seventies.

EMOS

ORIGIN: 

Original emo culture born in the '80s as a musical style derived from the American hardcore punk, the word "emo" comes from Emotional hardcore music. Currently his music is more commercial and best known representative is My Chemical Romance and Green Day (although many people does not place this group as emo). 

· Behavior: 

Their ideology they say, is mostly emotional, and with a peculiar way of dressing which is predominantly black color for men and pink for women, with duality between the two, another feature is the hair that covers their eye, sometimes both as a way of hiding part of their identity.You could say that of particular importance and settling for the feelings and conduct of the person from the emotional point, as the songs focus on love, hate or disappointment in life. 

· Current situation: 

The emos are quite widespread, especially in Latin America, and related subcultures have emerged as the "pokemosnes." At present the majority of teenage emos are between 14 and 20. Have a negative view of life and tend to show the world as pessimists and victims of a society created thinking more capital and private interests who forgets people and their real needs. Both emos like Pokemon have much to say, as though they are peaceful people, have detractors who are accused of surface and following fads, which has repeatedly led to fights or social rejection to this urban culture. 

 CHARACTERISTIC: 

Hair slicked back covering part of the face, piercings, Converse shoes, wristbands, badges, hoodies, tight shirts (usually black) and pants in sight.
Use piercings, tattoos and, unlike the "Gothic", tend to break up the monotony of dark clothing through a garment or accessory fluoride.

· SELF-HARM: 

There are "emos" that, among other shady practices, cut the skin as a synonym of discontent with the world around them and fantasize about suicide.
Some couples of "emos" cut the body to carry the same brands as a symbol of brotherhood, which is, in times of HIV / AIDS, a health risk.
To upload videos to the Internet where the arms are cut off. In fact, on You Tube are dozens of video clips where young "emo" cut arms.

CONTROVERSY: 

Recently it has been considered that the emo trend can not be considered as an urban tribe (though it is). In part, thanks to those who only see it as fashion, the fact that their ideology does not provide any social or political proposal excludes them from being considered as an urban tribe, and only becomes an expression of marketing. Some specialists in urban groups have labeled the emo trend as a simple fashion that fail to adopt the individual where this is to face real responsibilities, like getting a job, for example. But like any movement, the ideals and way of life are what really make the difference between someone who is a certain movement, or only takes it as fashion.

RASTAS

The Rastafari Movement takes its name from Ras (Lord) Tafari Makonnen (name / last name), Renzo whose coronation as Emperor of Ethiopia (1930) was seen as the culmination of Marcus Garvey's prophecy of a decade before

The Rastafari movement is a monotheistic, new religious movement that arose in a Christian culture inJamaica in the 1930s. Its adherents, who worship Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, former Emperor ofEthiopia (1930–1936 and 1941–1974), as the Second Advent, are known as Rastafarians, or Rastas. The movement is sometimes referred to as "Rastafarianism", but this term is considered derogatory and offensive by some Rastas, who dislike being labelled as an "ism".

Rastafari is not a highly organized religion; it is a movement and an ideology. Many Rastas say that it is not a "religion" at all, but a "Way of Life". Most Rastas do not claim any sect or denomination, and thus encourage one another to find faith and inspiration within themselves, although some do identify strongly with one of the "mansions of Rastafari" — the three most prominent of these being theNyahbinghi, the Bobo Ashanti and the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

The name Rastafari is taken from Ras Tafari, the pre-regnal title of Haile Selassie I, composed ofAmharic Ras (literally "Head," an Ethiopian title equivalent to Duke), and Haile Selassie's pre-regnal given name, Tafari. Rastafari are generally distinguished for asserting the doctrine that Haile Selassie I, the former, and final, Emperor of Ethiopia, is another incarnation of the Christian God, called Jah. They see Haile Selassie I as Jah or Jah Rastafari, who is the second coming of Jesus Christ onto the Earth.

The Rastafari movement encompasses themes such as the spiritual use of cannabis and the rejection of western society (called Babylon, in reference more to the metaphoric Babylon of Christianitythan to the historical Mesopotamian city-state). It proclaims Africa (also "Zion") as the original birthplace of mankind, and embraces various Afrocentric social and political aspirations such as the sociopolitical views and teachings of Jamaican publicist, organizer, and black nationalist Marcus Garvey(also often regarded as a prophet).

Today, awareness of the Rastafari movement has spread throughout much of the world, largely through interest generated by reggae music. The most notable example is Jamaican singer/songwriter Bob Marley (died 1981). By 1997, there were around one million Rastafari faithful worldwide. About five to ten percent of Jamaicans identify themselves as Rastafari.

    

FLOGGER

Flogger is a teenager fashion originated in Argentina at the end of 2004, which is closely related to Fotolog, a photoblog web site.Emerged from the glam fashion, and merged with elements of several other styles, it has become very popular among young people, to almost become a craze. The style is principally composed of tight trousers on males and females alike, broad V-neck T-shirts, fluorescent colors, canvas sneakers or skate shoes, blonde or black hair, long fringe brushed to one side of the face or over one eye, straight hair and horn-rimmed glasses.It is common to call "floggers" to any adolescent followers of this style.

This fashion has also developed a particular way of dancing electro house and techno music, called Electro - although this term already had the same meaning it has in English in reference to the electronic music in general. The moves, related to the French tecktonik , Belgian jumpstyleand the Australian shuffle, consist of rapidly spreading one leg, hitting the floor with the heel, and drawing the other leg backwards, and then quickly changing the position of the legs (spreading the other leg, and shifting backwards the one that was spread).
