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.
It’s this a crop of Ellen DeGeneres?
That’s a fucking normal ass haircut wtf
I recognize it’s not the same haircut, but it makes me think of this guy:
The guy from the UK Inbetweeners has the haircut.
Too long on the sides
Simon is the first person that came to my mind when I saw this post. Also the way you said UK Inbetweeners made me realize there’s also US version. Even the thought of it sounds terrible and I won’t even bother to check it.
the only good UK show that the US remade was the office. fight me.
Maybe in dramas, you can find more examples but for comedy, the office is the best only example I think. Makes you appreciate the producers even more, considering how tough a job it is.
The US version of Ghosts is also much better than the UK version which inspired it.
They are having a lore more fun with the universe/rules and exploring the Ghosts characters more. If the US version had the UK lead actress instead it’d be perfect
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.)
Still a normal haircut
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’ve seen that format and keep wondering who that guy is. But I lack terms to look it up and then I forget.
Who’s that?
The other commenter in this thread theoretically answered your question. I’m not familiar with the character, so while they’re probably correct, I can’t make any observations on it. I only know him as the “You guys are getting X?” meme guy.
I think your original question suggests you are familiar with the meme, but just in case I misinterpreted, here’s a random example.
Will Poulter in the movie “We’re the Millers”.
Just look up “eyebrow actor”, lol
Nah, not even. That’s a Flick, the minimal-effort 90’s-00’s version of the Greaser’s pompadour.
Is that a member of the infamous tunnel snakes?
Yes, and don’t forget that Tunnel Snakes Rule!
That haircut is fine. The broccoli cut and the school shooter bowl cut are not.
What the fuck is broccoli hair?
Exhibit B:
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?
They do.
What do you even ask for at the barbers to end up with that?
Skin fade to pot noodle, please mister?
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.
Yes. Odd people.
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…
My condolences
I’m probably the only one but I think it looks pretty cool.
I think it looks like stupid influences, very punchable.
it does, people get saltier and crankier with time
I’m 40+ and hope it will not happen to me any time soon.
deleted by creator
No
If you can’t bully children for their terrible haircuts, why even perpetuate their creation?
That 'do is pretty slick though
Still a hell of a lot better than that beiber swoosh hairstyle.
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
It’s all arbitrary mate
See, that’s what the broccoli hair kids think too. It’s all cope.
Why are we hating on things people like again? It doesn’t look bad. You all are aging like that dude who “chose poorly”
Broccoli hair? (quick duckduckgo) oh, you mean an 80s perm?
Nah the 80s perm can and did look good, imagine Bob Ross without one. They cut way too mcuh off the sides for it to look good on most folks, ya need a very specific head shape.
I just assumed they meant the ramen do.
Yeah, but you didn’t have to go get a perm done for that style. You just got a $15 hair cut.
And a ton of gel.
Not even a ton. A variation of this is still my hairstyle today.
A dime sized amount of fiber paste does the job. Start by blow drying the front up into rough shape. Rub the paste between your hands using only your fingers, and work most of it into the front to hold the shape and fine tune it. Use the remainder rubbed between the entirety of your hands to pat down your crown and any flyaways. And you’re done. Quick spritz of hairspray if it’s windy or you’re planning on being really active 🤷♂️
Whole process takes 5 ish minutes. Significantly less if my hair is already in the right shape, which it usually is because I blowdry it when I get out of the shower as a matter of course.
Objectively glorious.
culture peaked
Is this supposed to be a dig at guys with long hair? Guys with long hair are sexy. Not my fault you feel intimidated by their masculinity.
Lol. Not at all.
This picture may represent humanity at its peak.
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!”
Glam Metal and Its Requisite Gender-Bending: Celebrated Until They Suddenly Weren’t | by Ron Baxendale II | Medium - https://ronaldbax2.medium.com/glam-metal-and-its-requisite-gender-bending-celebrated-until-they-suddenly-werent-cf979b24eb4a
If that’s the extent of the “bad” they got, then I’d say you’re wrong.
“What do ya waaaant?”
I hear it’s better to burn out than to fade away. I think that’s the anthem of 2025 America.
Denim pants, shirts, jackets… jfc they had it figured out
The Era of Aquanet.
This is not nearly as bad as the broccoli fuck boys although this definitely was the hairstyle of the future fuck boys I was in elementary school with back in the day.
Imagine a haircut like this instead. It was all the rage in Brazil back in 2002:
is this because of Luiz Ronaldo or was he just part of the trend?
Yeah, that was Ronaldo’s haircut during the 2002 world cup
Why would anyone do this
Battery clipper runs out of juice at exactly the wrong time and you just lean into it.
It’s like the anti-mullet: trash in the front, nothing in the back.
Flex on early balding people by leaving hair only where theirs does not grow.
