I don't get it. It doesn't happen in other Nordic countries even though we're pretty much as faggy as they are in every other perspective.
And before Amerifat maga-hats start their screeching about Somalians and socialism, this was a thing before mass immigration from Africa and Middle-East to Sweden.

They're mimicking those faggots from 80s California.
That was 15 years ago, and I would imagine people did the same in Helsingfors back then.
Why are they still doing it though?
Because they're stupid
People crave what they cannot/do not have. For Swedes, its the sun and tanning.
No they didn't. That's why it's so weird. Helsinkians always copy everything from Stockholm but this fake-tan trend was never a thing here.
Then why don't Finns and the others this?
what does socialism and africans have to do with tan? are you obsessed with something?
The Dutch do this as well.
Really? Is it popular in the Netherlands?
No one has done it in the past 15 years
I beg to differ.
But even if you're right, why was it a trend in the first place?
We don't anymore but this fashion was called Fjortis. I was a Fjortisboy that's what we called ourselves. I had the anime hair and the tan but we weren't anywhere near as orange as these dudes. The subculture was about listening to EDM and techno and wearing specific brands of clothes. We wore Björn Borg shorts and t-shirts, 96 jeans, Svea hats and Fjällräven or Canada Goose jackets. If you were Fjortis you would lose your virginity at 13 or 14 the latest. Pretty embarassing in hindsight but still a lot of good memories. There was huge rivalry between emos and fjortisar

Nah just at the time Guidos were a actual thing
Where I live everyone hated fjortisar
they want to be more like their brown overlords
We were pretty hated across the country
Holy fuck that's bad.
I just wonder how that never travelled to Helsingfors or Åbo and via them to the rest of Finland? Or is Fjortis the same as Finnish "Fruittari", from "Fruit of the Loom"-clothing? They didn't have anime hair nor fake tan but the clothes were pretty similar.
Was "Fjortis" a thing Norway and/or Denmark too?
Norway had some knock off version of it. I dunno about Denmark
the girls look like japanese gyaru
Yeah I don't know if this trend came from there or if we started doing it first
>No they didn't
Nigga how old are you?
fjortis used to be a term but it seemed more like an ironic thing to me
I swear girls looked way bitchier back then than they do now
I was a teenager back then but I don't remember them being a thing in Finland.
They acted less bitchy, pretty ironic
Im pretty sure it was not a thing in Norway
> you would lose your virginity at 13 or 14 the latest
How is that a good thing
It was a good thing to me back when I was 13. Did wonders for my confidence honestly. The trend ended and that subculture died when I turned 14 so I dropped it and became a normal guy. I remember my dad asking me why the fuck I was wearing a hat during the middle of summer. We would wear these gay as fuck looking hats halfway around the head and still style the hair outside of it
Yeah that's what i thought.
Most Swedish trends infect neighbouring Nordic countries but for some reason we all contained this one.
It's weird.
In Göteborg we called them PJ after the Partille district
