I think it’s one of those things that youth do specifically because it’s youth coded. A lot of older people think it looks dumb, so they won’t do it themselves. And if anybody over 25 did it, it would look even dumber because of the pathetic attempt to look “hip”. I know when I was a kid I didn’t want to look like adults and thought it was weird if adults tried to look like me.

On the girls’ end, holy shit the Alysa Liu bleach stripes are everywhere now. That’s another one that would look ridiculous and sad if tried during middle age.

That Alysa Liu hair just looks like 00’s raccoon hair.

It looks stupid regardless of age. There's a ton of cringing at younger self ideas later on

Oh, it doesn’t mean they won’t look back on it with “blunder years” self amusement. It’s the frosted tips, peroxide blonde, white dude cornrows, bowl cut, skater hair, mullet, Beatles bob of Gen A. Every generation get one.
