I came to Japan 6 months before covid started. I am doing street photography so I am aware of the environment quite well I guess.
When I first came rarely I was seeing some strange fashioned guys/girls compared to now. Japanese were very kind and despite relatively high amount of foreigners in my city (Fukuoka) they were angaging with me when they see me and they were quite kind to me. Rarely there were some guys who were trying to hit on girls and these situations were usually experienced near bars/izakayas or some areas known for these kind of actions.
Recently all the guys are like k-pop artists, they have that strange androgenic fashion and usually kinda stupid looking fake lettuce style curly hairstyles. Most girls have strange styles as well as coloured contact lenses. Guys almost hit on girls in everywhere and every occasion that even as a tolerant person I am tired watching them. Even when I took photos of people on the street some guys chase me and ask to hit on girls together which tires me as I just want to take my street portrait photos and go away maybe after some talk with the subject. I take everyone’s photos from children to old ladies and uncles and I am tired of such guys!
As if these were not enough, a lot of white trash guys (I look white completely with coloured eyes and hair but I am Western Asian in reality) and Korean assholes are acting strange in a lot of places (I am not talking about tourists, I talk about people who just came to Japan as workers and students). Why is this I can’t understand or is it only me who think this change happened after covid or is it specifically a change only in my city?

K-Pop is such a thing now, most girls switched from learning english to learning Korean on Hello Talk.
Japanese simps are just playing the game and now are dressing like Korean style with the same bowl cut and same round glasses and make-up.
