Denpa = Crazy, Delusional

[edit]

It literally means "electric wave", but when used to describe a person, it means that said person is crazy, has delusions (sometimes based on the fact that he believes to be receiving subliminal messages via electromagnetic waves) etc. See here and here, f.ex.

I don't think "electromagnetic" has the same double meaning / connotation in english, has it? These kind of people, believing in the influence of these waves etc, certainly exist, but I'm not sure if there is a specific term to describe them? Else I think we should simply go with "crazy" Minikui (talk) 06:36, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
