[leaveheralone]

Hong Kong ppl are not called Hongers of Honkinese, we're called Honkies

Untrue. As always it depends on where you live. Seeing as you live from Australlia you're used to people calling you a "honkie." Around here, in Richmond BC, people from HK are generally called Hongers.

We here in Burnaby like to call Richmond "Hongerland" from time to time.

"Honger" clothing...basically what people wear that is trendy in Hong Kong. Most of the time it's vastly different from the norm in wherever they actually live.

Most of the "hongers" in my school wear crazy bright colours. Female "hongers" like thing like bubble shorts, patterned leggings, Converses, etc. I notice a lot of crazy patterns on them. Male "hongers" like A Bathing Ape/Baby Milo tees and hoodies, Evisu jeans and Nike Dunks. Also in bright colours.

All these trends are heavily influenced by Japanese street fashion (just take a look at some HK magazines for the younger set - a lot of the brands are Japanese). So often, they can be very foreign and peculiar-looking to some native-born North Americans.

However, I really don't like it when people call others "honger" by the way they act. Clothing, hair styles...I can accept. I can't accept it when people generalize others' actions by what they wear. I hate it when people say that Hongers are spoiled, rich, loud, obnoxious brats. They aren't.
