.时尚strong parallel
delegated 2015 · live

Same bet: a Chinese-script generic consumer-category noun in the apparel/style space, sold to Chinese-language merchants, makers and content sites who would put their primary identity on the category word itself rather than on a brand.

.珠宝moderate
delegated 2015 · later pulled

Also a Chinese-script generic product-category noun for a discretionary adornment vertical with a fragmented seller base, so it depends on the same thing the target does — Chinese merchants adopting a native-script category namespace instead of a .com or a marketplace storefront.

.hiphopmoderate
delegated 2014 · live

The closest structural match to the target's other half: a cultural movement's own name for itself that is simultaneously a commercial scene of apparel, media and events, betting that scene participants will claim identity under the movement's label.

uncontested · scored 30* in 2012 · run by Uniregistry, Corp.

* A separate 2012-only read, time-locked to what was public that year. Different scale from this page’s score — the two are not comparable.
