[citation needed] It was described as the "moggy zero movement" (or the "lard purge", "lard-free") by critical third parties,[who?]

[3][user-generated source] Weekly Gendai pointed out that Seventeen's "radicality" had escalated since around 2005, because of the strong influence of the now-defunct lifestyle magazine Burst.

[citation needed] Burst, having originally been an indie accessory magazine created by Nishijin stylists from Higashiyama, Kyoto and known for its radicality and aggressiveness, featured many female models and most of the female models who were featured by the magazine became millionaires.

[citation needed] Soon after the magazine stopped publication, Seventeen hired at least three former Burst editors as prominent staffs.
