Well I really have no idea what a Guido is, that was just my initial reaction to the picture

Otaku=/= Anime fan.

Pretty much the difference is the Otaku is very obsesive and regularly seen as crazy. They're the ones that give anime fans a bad name and probably what came to mind.

Although I have edited my post to avoid shenanigans with the pic hosting... Lunahound if you don't know the story behind Girugamesh (and haven't been locked in a basement rubbing the lotion on its skin), you should be ashamed of yourself.

SakuraCon is in Seattle after all. And being a fan of all things Japanese, I shed tears for you not knowing the band Girugamesh.

Also the below advert tells us why anime fans are so low...

There is a difference between liking certain animes , compared to been an anime otaku that loves all anime for the sake of it been animes.
I dont like anime fans nor do i like otaku , and thus i dont care for anime conventions ( especially since they are like a year or 2 behind the releases anyways )

Are you trolling me -_- *gets the hose again for gonads.

I dont know when or how it originated , but seems to be related to Italian some how ( though i thought it reminds me of ganguro )

Not too sure , Wiki said it started in 70s or 80s .

Though the 'guido' back then might be the "god father" type of mafia attitude ( i guess? )

which seems to differ then the 2009 MTV version. Unless it really is like... copying Ganguro which was hmm in the 90s

They call them guidos because they use to be italo-american teens. I've seen pics of guidos in Norway or Sweden.

Seriously, napalm for the creators of the trend...

Seeing people like that stirs something deep within me. A primal urge, if you will. An urge to find the nearest person that looks like that, and beat him until goo leaks out of his skull. Then I shall feast upon said goo, while casting his shattered body off a bridge into oncoming traffic.

After the orbital strikes, Thunderhawk bombardments, Whirlwinds, Vindicators, fusion and starfire and finally Battle Brothers with flamers had finished cleansing the world of all the enemies of Man, we built a monastery in the center of the largest, most radioactive impact crater. We named the planet "Tranquility", for it was very quiet now.

...is there anyone else as baffled about this thread as I am ?

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Well, the best guestimate of where these people got their style is probably from something like this:



which made guys photoshop this (not his appreciation of Jurassic Park):



or the inspiration came from the punk movement of the '70s and somehow got adopted by the cool kids like this one:



and since we all know the smart kids and punk kids both beat up the nerdy kids in order to make them do their homework, I am sure they saw the inspiration from a textbook depicting one of the 12 Heavenly Generals of Buddist religion:

Well , if im not mistaken the Guido is a style , a trend.
I want to see people's opinion on it.
Because as silly as it looks , there must be some validity to why someone would make themselves like that dont you agree?
Since there are valid reasons , i want to hear people's opinions on what.

Underlined part: Aww so thats how you guys see me as huh...

Sure lock the thread if it pleases you. I dont mind anymore :3
