Fashion Fashion Ah Beng is a term commonly given to a certain group of young Chinese men in Southeast Asia, particularly Singapore and Malaysia. These Chinese men, whose age ranging from their early teens to late 20s, usually centralise in the busier and more developed cities in the region. Ah bengs typically speak local slang, which is Hokkien or Cantonese mixed with English and Malay, such as Manglish or Singlish.

These values often lead to a lack of culture or indulgence in criminal activity or being involved in brawling or affray out of disagreement with other people. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ah beng"

Coolhunters operate most notably in the world of street fashion and design, but their work also blurs into that of futurists such as Faith Popcorn.

Corpse paint (sometimes a single word, corpsepaint) is a style of black-and- white makeup used extensively by black metal bands during live concerts and photo shoots as part of their imagery of evil and decay. Black paint is usually placed around the eyes and lips, and white paint everywhere else, although a great variety of designs have been seen. Despite the possible ' glam' roots of corpse paint, the designs used by many black metal musicians are supposed to make them look more evil, inhuman, or corpse-like (ergo, the term corpse paint). An origin to be traced back to Germanic folklore seems more likely. Particularly striking are the similarities between black metal corpsepaint and the ghoulish apparence of the members of the Oskorei (Norse name for a legion of dead souls). ...more on Wikipedia about "Corpse paint"
