Flogger is a teenager fashion originated in Argentina, which is closely related to Fotolog, a photoblog web site.[1] Emerged from the glam fashion, it has become very popular among young people, to almost become a craze. The style is principally composed of tight jeans or joggings on males and females alike, broad V-neck T-shirts, fluorescent colors, canvas sneakers or skate shoes, long fringe brushed to one side of the face or over one eye, straight hair and horn-rimmed glasses.[2] It is common to call "floggers" to any adolescent followers of this style.[3]

This fashion has also developed a particular way of dancing techno music, called Electro. The moves, very similar to the folk malambo[citation needed], and related with the French tecktonik and the Australian shuffle, consist of rapidly spreading one leg, hitting the floor with the heel, and drawing the other leg backwards, and then quickly changing the position of the legs (spreading the other leg, and shifting backwards the one that was spread).[4]
