That haircut is fine. The broccoli cut and the school shooter bowl cut are not.

[–] excral@feddit.org 7 points 6 days ago

The problem with every trendy teenager haircut is that everyone that's not a teenager themselves will associate the hair cut with douchy teenagers, thus ruining it. The issue is never the haircut itself but the associations with it'

walter white wtf are you talking about meme

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

I hated that hairstyle when I was a kid too lol.

[–] drathvedro@lemm.ee -2 points 6 days ago

Not me. Fierce flowing all the way from birth and having absolutely zero regrets. Damn I was drowning in pussy in my teenage years and didn't even realize it back then. So... suck it, dumbass kids with your dumb little haircuts!

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 122 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] sh00g@lemmy.zip 55 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's basically just a crew cut...AKA one of the most popular short haircuts of all time!

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 35 points 1 week ago

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

The early 90's mushroom haircut trend was worse by far

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 77 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Once the butt cut was peak hair.

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?

This picture may represent humanity at its peak.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This was the time when rock stars wore heavy makeup, painted their nails, had long lucious curly hair wore pants that cut off circulation

Nobody said they were “gay” or “trans”, they were just rock and fucking roll and whatever they wanted

Imagine a haircut like this instead. It was all the rage in Brazil back in 2002:

Flex on early balding people by leaving hair only where theirs does not grow.

Speak for yourself, I had frosted and fire tips.

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

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 - The Offspring - Conspiracy of One. I would jack back into 2000 in an instant

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

If you can’t bully children for their terrible haircuts, why even perpetuate their creation?

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What’s wrong with that haircut? It’s neat and looks good and ladies like it. That broccoli cut is just atrocious.

When I was a kid it was the bowl cut, now that’s a travesty. The haircut in the picture is nice

[–] FozzyOsbourne@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

It's all arbitrary mate

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

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

What the fuck is broccoli hair?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 67 points 1 week ago (13 children)
[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 18 points 1 week ago

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

Skin fade to pot noodle, please mister?

How about we let people style their hair however the fuck they like. I see all these comments ridiculing different haircuts as if being fucking apes with hair going in slightly different ways at different lengths blabbering on about which way is better wasn’t the ridiculous part.

It is the right of younger generations to confuse older gens with their style and older ones to be confused/offended by them. A tale as old as time.

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Teenagers have had broccoli hair for the past 5 years. It's boring. Invent a new fad already, I want a new thing to make fun of

The Suebian knot, a common hair style 2000 years ago. I'll take the broccoli over that.

But I'll like the viking hair styles more.

But I'm just a lazy fuck with a common ponytail because I don't want to visit a hairdresser every few months.

[–] excral@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is that viking hair cut even real or just some invention for movies and TV shows?

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

That's real. Vikings did a lot of breading and added beads to beards and hair. They also sometimes shaved the sides and had asymmetric haircuts too. We know the hair styles from their graves. The length of hair varied. They let them grow out and cut them when they were long enough. You could do a lot of things with such long hair.

The viking hair styles you see in the movies are mostly real.

But vikings did not have dreadlocks. They probably didn't know about them.
This is wrong:

And this is wrong too:

They also often wore necklaces and wristbands with runes made of silver, iron or wood. Something like this:

This was to either show your wealth or as an amulet. The futhark (runes) were not just an alphabet they also were magical characters. Each rune had its own special meaning.
For example ᚠ (fehu, engl. cattle) stood for wealth, abundance and security. You wore that rune if you wanted that. And smiths added runes to tools and weapons to add magical powers to them.

That looks like a fine haircut.

[–] Hellsfire29@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Still a hell of a lot better than that beiber swoosh hairstyle.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Bad hair? Lemme 'mullet' over.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago

It's this a crop of Ellen DeGeneres?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

The high and tight was good, I liked it.
