In Harajuku. What is going on, don’t remember it being like this

Hiroshima resident here. I have dealt with the increase of tourists in Hiroshima since corona, so I know the deal there. Have been to Tokyo a handful of times so i know it’s a crowded place, and have been to Harajuku before, just don’t remember it being this dense. Seriously this is waaaay too much. Anyone who lives in the area can fill me in? Is it the weekend usual crowd? Or things just got extremely crazy here over the past few years? I’m pushing a stroller and every few seconds need to dodge a sudden tourist stop for pics.
