I have nothing against hip-hop, but this simply isn't an article about hip-hop. For your information I live very close to Harajuku, and I was just out in the area for the past few hours and strangely enough I didn't see any overt hip-hop culture on the streets.  

 ::This article is about Harajuku, and a picture of two anonymous youths with a generic background is not representative of the area. It is also pretty clear that the picture was professionally produced, rather than a snapshot of real people. 

 ::As the editor trying to make the insertion, the responsibility is on you to show its relevance. I have given you several suggestions to improve the relationship of the image to the article. If you want to add a pic of the Bape store, or pics of hip-hop kids in an identifiable Harajuku location please go ahead. Do not put this particular image back again without discussing it with other editors to get consensus.
