Topic: Tag alias: harajuku -> j-fashion

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The tag alias #69070 harajuku -> j-fashion is pending approval.

Reason: Only one image in this tag actually featured the Harajuku district, so I moved it to harajuku_district. Otherwise, this tag is mostly used for j-fashion, which many styles of originate in Harajuku and are often referred to as "Harajuku fashion".

"Harajuku fashion" is not an actual style, but just an amalgamation of various j-fashion styles:

"Harajuku style is a mix of all the well-known Japanese sub-styles, for example Sweet lolita, Gothic lolita, Visual kei, Cosplay, Decora, Gyaru..."

"Harajuku doesn't describe one particular style or way of looking, but the conglomeration of many different styles in one place. While it can refer to almost any fashion style, the subculture of Harajuku fashion styles focuses primarily on two concerns – community and freedom of expression."

Would it be worthwhile to keep this tag for actual depictions of the Harajuku district? I'm asking genuinely, I don't know how unique the location is

I think it will continue to get mistags as I only saw one use that actually referred to the Harajuku district. I made the more specific harajuku_district for that single post.
