Some Lolitas say they enjoy the dress of the subculture simply because it is fun and not as a protest against traditional Japanese society.

[18] Before Otome-kei emerged, there was already a rise of cuteness culture in the earlier seventies; during this period there was a strong emphasis on cute and childish handwriting in Japanese schools. [23] [24] [25] As a result, the company Sanrio began experimenting with cute designs. [26] The cuteness style, known as kawaii style, became popular in the 1980s. [27] [28] After Otome-kei, Do-It-Yourself behavior became popular, which led to the emergence of a new style called 'doll-kei', the predecessor of Lolita fashion.
