    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 broccoli hair of Gen Z and alpha is a revival of the '80s broccoli hair. Ultimately, we are mocking the boomers and Gen X.

          I’m bad at faces, but he reminds me of a combination of Mike Birbiglia, Seann William Scott, and Anders Holm. (I had to look up two of those names.)

          It seems a bit much to me, as well as a bit dated, but not unusual, interesting, or offensive enough that I would look twice if I saw it in person. I agree, it’s not atrocious.

    I already posted but since I had to Google what a broccoli cut is, I felt the need to link something for old people like myself.

    That said, these all look the same to me. It’s 35 pics of the same thing. It needs an extended Office Pam meme that spans pages. More fascinating, the article stated this hair involves actual perms. Perms. The 80s are back.

    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.

    This is definitely one of the more ridiculous and unattractive coifs out there, and it spans generations. Ben Affleck or Alister of Dragon Age anyone?

    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.

        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

          I’m sorry but this is erasure of the very real homophobia these glam metal bands experienced as part of later backlash.

          And the guys in Skid Row tell of going out in public in the late eighties with “their hair stacked to the sky” and fighting with rednecks who called them removeds (Konow 296). While I never had to duke it out with anyone because of my long hair (the extent of my glam look), I did have similar experiences in the real world. Once, when with my mom at Huntington House, a now-defunct furniture store, a female sales clerk came up behind us and asked, “Can I help you ladies?” And on another occasion, when looking at clothes at Joslins in the Westminster Mall, a woman approached me from behind while remarking, “What do we have here? A lady looking at men’s pants!”

    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.
