neo-gyaru; young woman following a flashy foreign-influenced style
Refers to a modern iteration of the gyaru subculture, characterized by bold, often Western-inspired fashion that is considered gaudy or over-the-top. The term is niche and may not be widely recognized outside fashion or subculture contexts.
