Cultural appropriation


What do you think about Bangkok's Gangsters?


The similarities between Bangkok's Gangsters and the definition of cultural appropriation is that even if it is not common in people to make things that are unusual on their culture, people may feel identified through dressing style and  the music that they heard.  For example in this case Thai are comfortable  about wearing mexican's gangters style. 

The difference that I can see is that  stereotypes of Thai people make us  think that they are disciplined and because of that it will be easier to identify this subculture. It does not matter  if the clothing is popular  because their style( particulary clothing and music) it is not  common in Thailand.

I think society can not be allow to  limit the others personalities, the way  their dress, the way they do what ever the like to do.  I support this kind of hobbie. I prefer this phenomenon as a hobbie and not as a lifestyle.
