"Everyone wants to know what a Harajuku Barbie is..." she told HipHopStan. Nicki came up with the term through her admiration of the Harajuku culture.

Harajuku refers to the area around Tokyo's Harajuku Station. It is the center of Japan's most extreme teenage cultures and fashion styles. These styles rarely conform to one particular style and are usually a mesh of many.

"I love the Harajuku culture," says Nicki Minaj. "...the way they dress, is the way I am on the inside. Free-spirited, girls that just wanna have fun, kick-ass... pop, rock-n-roll, whatever the f*ck you want to do, Hip-Hop. That's how I feel, and that's what my music is gonna feel like, when I do my album."

I always thought her clothes were Harajuku/cosplay/Kyary Pamyu Pamyu esque. They were her influence!

She said that Harajuku is how she feels inside not that she wants to be harajuku!

[Hanneke le Roux]

You are so ignorant. That is such a generalization... and I'm from Africa so I know what I'm talking about.

It's fine to refrain from conforming to mainstream ideals, but calling yourself a nonconformist and focusing your life on trying to be different makes you a stereotype, which is ultimately admitting the superiority of the mainstream.

You're on youtube watching a nicki minaj interview. An "anti-conformist" would be offline doing something productive or artistic.
