"Black Lifestyle" In Japan.

• With the way black men and women are being accosted for buying expensive accessories, or gunned down for asking for help/existing, you would wonder why anybody would want to live the “black lifestyle.” But for hip Japanese twentysomethings, hip-hop music, fashion, and dance is enough incentive. Introducing B-Style, a small subculture that’s captured the interest of Japanese youths fascinated by black culture. They tan to darken their skin, listen to and dress in the hip-hop style, and go to African salons to get braids. Vice UK followed Hina, a self-professed B-Styler to find out more about this trend in the video above. Hmm… what do you think of this one, folks? (Vice UK)
