Frick - who is it: an eccentric or an individual?

We are surprised to see when there is a person walking along the street or a company of people dressed rather strangely. It is strange for others who choose clothes that are modest, not fanciful, comfortable in everyday life. Most of us condemn these "dressed up" in acid dresses of young girls and boys.

Where did this flow come from?

"Friky" - they are thrown after them by those who once recognized the meaning of this word. It sounds like an abusive one. But let's figure it out, freak - who is this in our society? The history of this trend dates back to around the seventies of the last century. In those years on the streets of the West began to emerge incomprehensible people: torn jeans and bright jolly T-shirts were their clothes, piercings on the face and not only on the head of the Iroquois or terrible locks. The society was horrified: the end of the world is approaching.

Where does the concept of freak come from? Who is this: an innocent madcap or a person from whom to wait for evil? In English, freak is an oddball. This word was previously called people with obvious deviations, freaks: a woman with a beard or Siamese twins. They performed in the circus and entertained the audience.

What do freaks want to say?

The modern concept has changed somewhat. A dressed up freak is who it is, not a person who wants to express his personality in an unthinkable way. With their bright appearance they try to escape from the gray masses and show the world their "I". Not all people can sing, dance, draw pictures. Quite simple and effective option is to express your inner world with the help of available means (clothes, make-up, accessories). This is kind of shocking.

By the way, this is the way many Western and Russian stars have declared themselves. Remember, for example, the famous Lady Gaga or the scandalous Beth Ditto. They are also freaks - girls who managed to win the attention of the public by their appearance and original antics. It should be taken into account that their courage to mass attention, condemnation and stereotypes makes them respect their way of self-expression. Freaks are original and can quite become pioneers of their own style. This is decent and even gracefully demonstrated by the legendary Anna Piaggio, a stylist and a woman-holiday with a world-famous name.

Distract from the hassles

To get acquainted with their subculture and get away from reality a little, avoiding alcohol and drugs, you can go to a freak show, where, in addition to fun and extraordinary music, you will be invited to participate in a strange contest for choosing the craziest guest of the party. If you want to forget about all the sorrows of a bustling world, dance along with other eccentrics in soap bubbles and see an incredible show of paper.

It's not so bad!

So, freak - who is this for us? Exalted person who does not harm others tries to be in the center of attention, just a cheerful original. To be afraid of this current, this subculture, is not worth it. Is not it so much safer to watch a company of decorated dandies than to hear news that a teenager shoots unarmed people trying to pay attention to his person.
