There is a new style seeker around Europe, which my sister cleverly phrased- The Pokemon teens. It is a group of teenager that were strongly influenced by the popular Pokemon TV show, and now tailored their style after the main character Ash (www.pokemon.com). They always hang around in small groups. The distinguishing features of these new style seekers are the bleached mullet. Yes, the mullet just seem to celebrate one come back after another. Then the mullet is accentuated with a trucker hat a la Von Dutch. Further the Pokemon teen wears a tight t-shirt with some graphic illustration and pants that are too short, in order for the white socks to make an appearance. It is interesting that a TV character could shape the look of a large proportion of teens that have been exposed to such at an early age. This seems to be a mini- trend within the larger trend of Asianfication, and more and more products and styles from Asia becoming more popular among European style seekers.
