It could also mean that he or she has nothing productive to do so as to idly squander their time wandering around the streets of Mong Kok.[2] Image of the MK (Mong Kok) peopleAppearanceThe origin of their dressing style is believed to be the movie series Young and Dangerous produced in the 1990s, which describes the lives of Hong Kong gangsters and their triad activities. However, some other people believe that it is because this group of people purchase their Hip Hop clothing in Mong Kok only.[3][4] The characteristics include their hairstyles, which are preferably dyed into brighter colors such as gold and silver. Another tendency is to have longer bangs that cover their foreheads or even their eyes. Typical Mong Kok culture attire includes: sleeveless shirts, black garments, bell-bottom trousers, and a number of accessories such as chains around trousers, earrings, and necklaces. Advocates and followers of this particular culture also tend to sport tattoos. These tattoos are often situated on their upper arms, which remain visible to those around them because of the prevalence of sleeveless shirts amongst the culture. BehaviorThose who participle in MK culture are considered to be active on the social-networking sites and online forums, where they can actively share their own lives.
