The high and tight was good, I liked it.

It's this a crop of Ellen DeGeneres?

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?

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

How about carrot hair. Or maybe, like, mashed potato hair?

[–] Hellsfire29 13 points 9 hours ago

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

That's a fucking normal ass haircut wtf

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

I recognize it's not the same haircut, but it makes me think of this guy:You guys are getting meme guy

[–] Lennnny 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The guy from the UK Inbetweeners has the haircut.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

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.)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

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.

Insufficient sleep meme demonstrating you guys are getting X guy

Nah, not even. That's a Flick, the minimal-effort 90's-00's version of the Greaser's pompadour.

Bad hair? Lemme 'mullet' over.

When I was a teenager, the boys all had the Justin Bieber side swept kinda look

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing says "I will put something in your drink" quite like that haircut.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Is there a popular men's haircut that doesn't say that?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Broccoli hair? (quick duckduckgo) oh, you mean an 80s perm?

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

See, that’s what the broccoli hair kids think too. It’s all cope.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya 3 points 8 hours ago

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.

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

[–] Meron35 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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!”

If that's the extent of the "bad" they got, then I'd say you're wrong.

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 13 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 105 points 18 hours 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

[–] [email protected] 42 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 15 hours 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
