That is what happens in a Socialist society. Everyone is equal and we are all to assume the lowest denominator. That makes it fair. No one excels, no one makes more money, no one gets better grades (what the heck, do like the US just graduate them, don't worry if they can read or not). It is Socialism plane and simple. It is taking hold in the US. Even at my age I will probably see the US go all the way. Take everything from everyone and redistribute the wealth. It sucks, but the first thing is to get them young and indoctrinate them into believing everything and everyone is exactly equal. That they are entitled to the same as everyone else whether they work for it or not. Bottom line, don't look for it to go away, look for it to grow...

huh? 'school girl' uniforms are used the world over by all school systems that use any type of uniforms.. including catholic schools in the US. Nobody wears uniforms because they think its 'cool'.. in fact, it's the school system attempting to make everyone more or less 'same' at least in terms of appearance.

You mean, like pop-stars dressing in uniform even though they clearly don't have to? It's probably meant to be alluring, kind of like the "naughty catholic school-girl" thing. In that sense, as long as school uniforms are in widespread use you will see it as a selling point in getting attention. Kind of like the "sexy librarian" thing. Anyway, Japan is a highly regimented society, last summer it was a big deal when Corporate Bigwigs tried to get people to wear cooler clothing in the summer heat. They love their suits!

I don't think school girl uniforms are cool. And not so many people in Japan think like that. Haven't you lived in Japan? It is happening only in anime and some TV shows. But I think many girls seem that they wanna try to wear the uniform once if they have a chance.

When the 40+ year old men grow up ?

When they grow up. They keep tninking school girls are virginal, but as you say, so outdated.

I teach at a Japanese high school and about 70-80% of students support the school uniform system. The most common given reason is "not having to choose what to wear in the morning." Japanese society is very much about fitting into a group and knowing one's standing in that group, so school uniforms are helpful for identifying one's school and grade. Many students wear their uniforms on the weekends and when traveling, even though they don't have to. Of course I'm sure there are some students who can't wait to change into other clothes when the bell rings, but they aren't the majority. So I don't know who thinks they have "stopping being cool" or who thinks "it's getting old," but it isn't Japanese students.
8 :
never. the japanese pornography industry exploits youthful images.
9 :
some may think it cool, some not. getting old is not too bad as too new.
10 :
Not everybody thinks they're cool. Some kids don't want to wear them. Some kids alter them. Elementary students don't wear them now, but that used to be the case in the past. As someone who never wore uniforms at school, I sometimes feel jealous of those who do or did. It looks fun sometimes. Then again, I'm a better person for not being a robot.
