Every generation goes through a ridiculous hair phase - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

Speak for yourself, I had frosted and fire tips.
Billabong sweater, or T-shirt over long arms. Oakleys, baggy low on the hip jeans and (possibly JNCO even if I prefered other brands) DC skateboard shoes. Soundtrack l, Offspring - Conspiracy of One. I would jack back to 2000 in an instant

Man I lived in DCs for years. Zero arch for my flat feet and they just slipped on. Even good for working in restaurants.

Don’t forget the puka she’ll necklace
What the fuck is broccoli hair?
It’s a temple fade. Kinda like what people wore in the 90s and early 2000s.

Exhibit B:

Where I am, mullets made a comeback a year or so ago, and now the odd person will get one.
Not just mullets, but mullet and tache combo.
That happened half a decade ago here. Been spreading.

We get a weird half mullet. It’s long-ish in the back, short on the sides, and long-ish on top. It’s like they wanted a mullet, but wanted plausible deniability too.

Just commit…

Do we know if they actually perm their hair? With as many haircuts like this that I see, they can’t ALL have curly hair right?

What do you even ask for at the barbers to end up with that?

Skin fade to pot noodle, please mister?

I’m probably the only one but I think it looks pretty cool.
it does, people get saltier and crankier with time
I’m 40+ and hope it will not happen to me any time soon.
I think it looks like stupid influences, very punchable.
I’ve never had hair like that, but the pic seems like a pretty normal haircut I’ve seen from mid-90s through to now
It’s basically just a crew cut…AKA one of the most popular short haircuts of all time!
Yeah but the signature of this was the propped up “wave” in the front, I remember that being huge through elementary and middle school in the 90s
Isn’t that a Caesar? It’s combed forward which makes all the difference.
The early 90’s mushroom haircut trend was worse by far

It’s back bay-bee!

I’m just waiting for the other early 2000s hair trends to come back. Frosted tips, insane amounts of gel to spike it up, maybe some pukka shell necklaces? Maybe some Hawaiian shirts? Maybe those big ball chains? Converse? Just bring back third wave ska?

Absolutely bring back the ska! Tbf, it never really went away, just not in the mainstream anymore.

Tbf, it never really went away, just not in the mainstream anymore.

You can say that about most things people want to bring back.

Well given that broccoli hair is just another word for the perms from the 80s, just give it 20 years and it’ll be back in again. You could even be ahead of the curve, just give it some new name, christmas cake hair for example if it’s all about frosted tips, and start wearing it in 15 years time. You’ll become famous for “starting” a “new” trend!
I’d like to see 50-60 year olds doing up their hair like the Static-X guy.
Fuck yeah static-generation-x
I would argue Converse is pretty timeless
Yeah that one doesn’t fit. Kids have continued buying chucks straight up to modern day. Only difference is the soles appear to have gotten chunkier.

Once the butt cut was peak hair.

Is that five different people?
I hate to sound racist against (other) white people, but I genuinely can’t tell the difference between them. I bet they can’t dance and like mayonnaise as well…
If you can’t bully children for their terrible haircuts, why even perpetuate their creation?
I just never do anything with my hair. I let it be free to be however it wants.
I just gave up and now I have long hair like Charlie White but better taken care of.
I tried that as well but the hair started getting bent over my ear in some fucked up way that even I couldn’t stand
I cut it short so it has limited options.

This is how my hair was at like 18, I can’t criticise anyone else

Tbh I still find that haircut to be quite attractive. Cannot say the same for broccoli cuts.

No way, broccoli hair is significantly worse than almost any other hairstyle.

You couldn’t convince me broccoli hair was started as a meme to see if people would make themselves look dumb to follow a trend.

Yeah, the haircut in OPs picture is normal, if they wanted to show and idiotic haircut it should have been the manbun.
May I remind you of the existence of the one true stupidest haircut ever invented: the mullet. The great equalizer of looking bad. Not one person on this great planet of ours can wear it well.
Counter point the mullet looks perfectly acceptable when combined qith headware such as hats. Or if you are a snake, a bandana.
