Anhui Kids (“Fei Zhu Liu”) Are Mental Retards?

From KDS: I hear this is trendy in Anhui right now?

Anhui fei zhu liu.

非主流 = fei zhu liu = A “counter-culture” or “anti-mainstream” trend, fashion, or lifestyle popular amongst younger Chinese, usually (but not always) those born in the 1990s, possibly influenced by Japanese popular culture.

The reactions:

A group of mental retards.

If I saw them on the street, I would drag them into a restroom and beat the shit out of them.

I can only say I am too old to understand what I am seeing.

It is Anhui, what did you expect?

A crippled generation.

It is like seeing a ghost in the mirror every night you get up to use the bathroom.

LZ, go administer the medicine~

Everyone be tolerant.

Wow, how beautiful. Maybe if I look at them longer, I will no longer be scared of monsters.

X JAPAN had this kind of hair in the 90s, it is not that strange.

We can write off these people.  One look and you can tell they are uncultured, low quality human trash.

They would rather be monsters than humans!

They are only starting to copy yesterday’s fashion trends? Wow, they are so behind the times.

Gross…

I once saw someone dressed like this on the streets…they have problems…

Testimony:
Hi everyone, my name is Fatty Zhu Liu. I am 15 this year. After looking at too many “fei zhu liu” pictures online, I became addicted to the “fei zhu liu” trend since the beginning of last year. The result was that I started looking like the picture above. I really regretted it. But after eating Fei zhu Liu Mental Retardation Medicine, I really got better! I am so happy! You too must remember to take it! Heh heh!

I spent a few years in Bengbu, Anhui province as a hip hop dance coach~~ Now I work in Shanghai. The people I respect the least are these peasants who have not gone to school but still want to show off. True fashion is expressed only when it is simple and has style as well as you own personality. These people should all die ten thousand times~~

If they were doing this just for Christmas, I might be able to accept it.

These pictures are just of some “fei zhu liu” in Anhui but there are many young Chinese throughout China who are very into the “fei zhu liu” culture or style. Have you seen this before? What do you think? Do you like it? Or do you think it is stupid?

Maybe I can post more about them if people want to see and learn more.

  1. I know Anhui has a not so good reputation (kind of like America’s West Virginia… yes?). This doesn’t help.

  2. i wonder if you would do an update on the ‘hacked’ interview script of the Tsinghua University chancellor’s outcry against the Chinese tertiary education system’s pouring shit into students’ mind….

    my best regards

  3. actually, this is only one of a few aspect of the so-called FZL, nevertheless, this will not be the most notorious one!

    selling sex just for some stupid things in some online games, drugs, clubbing……while they should be studying……man……

    we all used to be young and stupid, but i would say that’s a little bit over

    and kind of twisted value of those FZL

    but after all, they are victims too, of this crippled society.

    sad but true……btw, i love metallica…LOL

  4. This is China’s version of Japan’s Fei Zhu Liu which has been around for decades.

    They’re attempting to break out of the collective mindset and express their individuality….something westerners would approve of.

    • I wouldn’t approve of that as a Westerner! They have no idea what they’re doing, they’re trying to be cool and different, but it isn’t working. The Japanese do it so much better. (Oh my god now I’m going to be totally attacked!!!)

      • err…no, its like this, visual kei changed n FZL kept more of the old elements then other rips (dam scene kids…freakin prep emos)
        =D

      • who needs ur approval? westerners also do the same sorta thing, and they’re just as bad or good as anyone else. it is working because as you can see more people are doing it. duuhhh. and see how it says ‘trendy’??? the ones in the pics are probably everyday people, and from what i’ve seen they’re just as good as the japanese everyday non-mainstream people. and they are as bad as each other too.. what you probably see are the professional celebrities that take on the look and have lots of money to improve their appearance, always have proffessional photoshoots, and have lots of people styling them everyday.

  5. they just want to be different, nothing to do with rebellious……
    they just think this is cool, awesome
    nothing else

  6. well I think they are….mentally retarded ^_^

  7. They are just like the little emo and goth kids here in the US…they all want to be different, so they join a subculture where they all dress and act the same.

  8. well..what do you know?…china’s version of the hippie generation in the u.s. …50 years ago…they eventually saw it as a waste of their youth..and it died out

  9. The problems lie here: the appereance and the garments, the hairstyle bear no sense of fundamental beauty, which make the audience sick to stomach.

  10. Ha, at first I thought your title said “Metal Retards?” as in heavy metal, in which case I agreed 100%, not sure if they are really “Mental Retards” though :)

  11. This is what all little Chinese look like on the inside hahahahaha

  12. More cheap fake culture from China, they are just copycats of the Japaness who in turn copied the British punk/goth styles of the 70′s & 80′s. Hey you retards, use your chineseness and start a new and original trend/style…now that would be cool.

  13. White people are copying chinese characters for tattoos on their bodies and as artwork on clothing and artwork. They copied all chinese and japanese martial arts because they don’t have their own forms.

    • whats more interesting, i used to know a tattooist in the UK. he knew some chinese words but didnt have a clue what they meant. when ever anyone asked for something in chinese no matter what it was, he would always write the same thing as he didnt know chinese. so there are allot of people walking around with the same tattoo thinking it means something special to them :-D

  14. [This is what all little Chinese look like on the inside hahahahaha]

    sounds like bitter rantings from a very insecure little person.

  15. The clothes are just the form of expression in a society that doesn’t listen. It is a cry for help mostly, a warning…look at me=listen to me. The FZL is nothing that doesn’t exist in other countries…punks, hippies, skaters, goths, emos, etc…
    It’s here too! China will have it special tho…People trying to be something other than their parents 2nd coming. Kids that are shown that they really aren’t equal at all, and that even if they write on a BBS to express their anger…it’ll likely be taken off in a government mandated sweep.
    Helplessness. Message:CCP, sew the wind and reap the whirlwind.

  16. Agree with hkfoey.

    A Chinese youth culture would be awesome, but 50 years of oppression doesn’t come of easily. They gotta start somewhere.

  17. Why would anyone sane have a problem with people dressing diferent? We see all kinds of bigoted hateful comments on Chinese BBS and English language sites like Youtube … do we need them on speciality sites like this one too?

  18. The last picture reminds me a lot of eighties hair metal look from the USA. I always translated FZL as ‘alternative’ because zhuliu means mainstream, fei means not.

    I can see why people see influences from Japanese street culture of a decade ago, and also American and British Punk fashion. I don’t know why they should be belittled even if they do copy Japanese or Americans. The very idea of fashion is to copy others, unless you were the first and everyone else is copying you.

  19. @ Will

    We hate those stupid scenester/hipster kids here in the US too.

    As George Thorogood once said, “GET A HAIRCUT AND GET A REAL JOB!”

  20. Ihad ayi from Anhui, but her clothing doesn’t looked like this, but she said to me never to buy high-tech made in Anhui. Now I know why.

    Just kidding.

    This kids have to much free time, to much spoiled, to much manga and anime.

  21. I reckon some policeman two years ago at MIDI. He said that kids with green hair was so good year before, that they considering to allow entrance only to kids with crazy haircut.

  22. this is just harmless rebellion. Looks pretty silly but lets be tolerant

  23. It’s a Japanese thing they’re copying around 15 years too late! Either way, like everyone else said already, it exists in every country. Annoying kids, that is. As long as they’re not off killing people or doing drugs and other crime I say let them do what they want. At least we always have something to laugh about.

  24. … and I thought America was full of bigots…

    compared to the rest of the world, boy was I wrong!

  25. fuck 非主流haters
    they r not retarded
    they just have their own fucken style
    u ppl tht dink dey r mental retarded
    u got no fucken life
    emo bitches tht tried to cut dem self r more gay den 非主流
    if yu dunt lyk it dunt luk at it n dunt talk shyt

  26. @ Chinamerican

    I didn’t say you shouldn’t belittle them. I just think that its stupid to belittle them for copying someone else. Every fashion copies someone else. People buy fashion magazines just to copy them. Why can American and British musicians copy each other, Japanese can copy American glam metal, but Chinese can’t copy anyone else’s fashion?

  27. @ Will

    They can copy and be “inspired” all they want. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s uglier than original sin.

  28. i love them, they are cool…………

  29. some of them are cute but some of them are Supper ugly, they should not go on the street, they should just …

  30. Byproducts of China’s Public School Prison System. Wouldn’t have happened if they had gone to a Democratic School.

  31. goth kids don’t exist in democratic countries……right!

  32. Did I say anything about countries? Just because a country “claims” to be democratic doesn’t mean it is.

    See the following youtube video:

    You my friend are out of excuses…just like the rest of China.

  33. scool dropouts rool!

  34. stop harrasing fei zhu liu~

  35. what is people’s problems.cant they just mind their own business.life comes only once …so,let them live as they want.
    they have not ask you all to pay for whatever they r waering or doin…plezzzz….people you guys are they ones who’s so backward and narrow minded.if you think you living in this new generation then….plez…mind your own businessa nd let them live thier lives.!!!!!!!
    peace.

  36. Not all FZL are retarded. To me it’s just a sense of fashion … I think some of them actually looks alright but others go too overboard. Oh well, it’s their life and let them live by the way they want. I’m sure there’s better things to do than to keep complaining. If you don’t like it, then ignore it. Complaining is just a waste of time. Like as if they would change just by hearing you complain.
    I’m pretty sure somebody should agree with me.

  37. the editor.ほんとうにあなたあほうだ。

  38. I have been to China twice for exchanges. These young people in China are not retards. You are verbally abusing other people. They also have right to do what they want. Please do not post photo of other people without permission. It’s against the law.

  39. shocked, ashamed, and feeling sorry for their parents

  40. I don’t get this ‘fei zhu liu’ thing. When I first heard the term I though it was great and I wanted to discover this part of modern Chinese culture. Anti-mainstream, counter-culture, pretty interesting! But are these kids really representative of that?

    After I heard that term, I started reading articles about it and realized its just a bunch of bullshit, exactly the same as a bunch of Avril Lavigne loving 13 year olds in the west wearing ties, plaid and black eye-make-up, saying they are punks without knowing what the hell punk means.

  41. in other words, where the hell are the real feizhuliu’s??

  42. Disgusting. Not the people but the comments both above and some below.

    How can people say that about others?

    “I would bring them to a restroom and beat them.”

    That, is the equivalent, of human trash. That is call hate crime.

    That is called immaturity. If I lived in a society where it was perfectly normal to fucking kill someone because they dressed funny, why would I NOT rebel? I rather live an honest and happy life and be labeled a freak than be a murdering bastard with no life except to take out their anger on others.

    FZL has many types by the way. VK is also different from this. My god, even in Japan, VK is looked at as a subculture. If you think Anhui is bad, why not check out Harajuku? You’ll piss your pants.

    Westerners talk shit about ‘equality’ and ‘freedom of expression’. Funny how after you preach, you conform to the idea of being a real bastard huh?

  43. only if they had better taste on hair, i wud support them.

  44. they don’t have problems.
    they should have the right to express themselves, regardless of the criticism thrown at them.

  45. FAAAAAAKE REACTIONS!!!! HAHAHA!
    that’s so stupid to think they’re mental retards! who came up with that? well whoever did must be the mental retard, or they’re just insecure and sad.
    Can you not see that these are young people expressing themselves? like when your generation was young?
    They are definitely not uncultured, because they are representing another culture instead of the shit boring ones that the people who hate them live. These people are having fun trying different things, and it will help them to become a better and more wiser person from the things they learn. get with the times guyys.

    and alot of people are starting to like fzl. there are girls who are making it look cute, and there are guys who are making it look hot. so lots of people also think it’s cool. and what? medicine? aaaaah that is so sad! that is a great load of bullshit! chinese people doing this to their own younger genereation?? hahaha.
    If the haters( or scaredy cats who are afraid of people like teenagers) actually talked to one of them, they would see how normal they actually are. they’re actually just like everyone else, but they take interest in a different look.
    stop embarassing your own people and realise you are not in the earlier centuries anymore. :) ok? good!

  46. Wow you’re all cool for bashing these kids (who, by the way, are badasses for doing something millions of chinese wouldnt)..I hope karma bites you in the ass. By the way, this is a fashion from japan. It’s all visual kei.

  47. Chinese people are not used to young people who are trying to shock older people. In the Western world this is common (I even did it in the 80′s), but it’s not dangerous or stupid. They need an image, they are young! Don’t be so narrowminded, try to understand. In the Western world you see that most people who were once punk, hippy or something else, nowadays have a good job and have forgotten about their ideals from the past..
