PSA: Jirai kei literally means "landmine type". The associated fashions are a standalone thing. You're not Jirai Kei if you're not mentally ill. You're not a landmine if you don't explode.
um I thought jirai kei was just the fashion? And jirai was the lifestyle..? /gen If I’m wrong pls don’t kill me and just let me know
No, this is common misinformation, and I have no idea where it started. the main fashion people associate with jirai kei is called "girly kei" or just "girly". What I do know is that it was during the original 2020 "psycho girlfriend challenge" that a youtuber claimed that landmine girls wear dark girly.
This is the best researched essay I found on the matter.
