Not so much, most of them go there to be seen by each other. Many were wearing folded scarves across their faces, while others were actually pushing the tourists back and telling them to stop taking pictures.

It gets worse each year. 3 years ago there were not so many tourists, but now there are more tourists taking pictures of people than there are people to take pictures of. 25 cosplayers being photographed by up to 100 foreign tourists... do you get the idea now? Harajuku used to be a place were people dressed up and would hang out with each other. Now it's become a freakshow for tourists.
