Kawaii Noir is a variation that describes
things that are cute but have a slightly sinister quality to
them. In other words, it is Japanese influence in the mixture of creepy and cute. We can find this wierd but charming trend in many art works and products, which often portray females as pouting and helpless creatures.
Modern society embraces an increasing number of people
who have no sense of belonging to any party or organization but instead are oriented towards non affiliation, escape from controlled society, and youth culture. Kwaii Noir represents theses people and their fear to grow up. They deliberately affect a pitiful cuteness. Instead of growth, maturity and becoming an adult, Kwaii Noir often acts childlike while having dark inside of being an adult.
