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 53 points 1 year ago

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

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 34 points 1 year 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 73 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] swab148@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Absolutely bring back the ska! Tbf, it never really went away, just not in the mainstream anymore.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Tbf, it never really went away, just not in the mainstream anymore.

You can say that about most things people want to bring back.

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

I'd like to see 50-60 year olds doing up their hair like the Static-X guy.

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

[-] Meron35@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

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!”

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.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Lol. Not at all.

[-] interpolate@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Lennnny@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The guy from the UK Inbetweeners has the haircut.

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

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

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

is this because of Luiz Ronaldo or was he just part of the trend?

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.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the haircut in OPs picture is normal, if they wanted to show and idiotic haircut it should have been the manbun.

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

[-] Anissem@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 year ago

What the fuck is broccoli hair?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 65 points 1 year ago
[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 17 points 1 year ago

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

Skin fade to pot noodle, please mister?

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

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?

Where I am, mullets made a comeback a year or so ago, and now the odd person will get one.

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 9 points 1 year ago

Not just mullets, but mullet and tache combo.

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 23 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Tbh I still find that haircut to be quite attractive. Cannot say the same for broccoli cuts.

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Why are we hating on things people like again? It doesn't look bad. You all are aging like that dude who “chose poorly”

[-] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 1 year ago

I just never do anything with my hair. I let it be free to be however it wants.

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.

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Round our way it is still mullets and Ned Flanders moustaches.

Good for them. I could never pull that off.
