    Hate is a strong word, but I don’t think I’ve seen a hairstyle I’ve disliked more than that. I’m trying to understand why it’s triggering intense emotions in me. WHY is it SO powerful? I’ve been told I have a punch-able face, but this is like this whole 'nother level.

      I remember thinking “these fucking mulletted hicks” when we moved to missouri and I was a little kid, like 6… but had never seen a full on mullet IRL, then was suddenly surrounded by them all ages and not just the boys either.

      What blows my mind is when stupid shit like this comes back into vogue. I lived through so much cringe the first time, and I loathe doing it all over again.

      Not that I’m the height of fashion or anything, myself. If not for my wife, I’d be wearing long white tube socks with my shorts.

        This is actually a trend now. Gen Z is about it, and judges the old heads for ankle sock

        I’m the opposite, I say bring on the stupid shit and do it often! Life’s short and looking kinda silly on purpose sometimes is fun. My most recent foray into such was a mustache large enough to be mocked by my daughter’s soccer teammates, first practice, basically on sight hahaha. Causing her to cry (and me to shave it, lol, but it was fun while it lasted, and I don’t intend to further traumatize her with sartorial silliness).

          Maybe I’m just too high, but I’m a bit annoyed that her soccer teammates are such mean girls. Like, I know teenage girls are stupid mean, but that’s gotta be pretty tough for her to have such judgemental “friends”.

            It all worked out, but I appreciate your defensiveness! It was a mixed group, 'twas the lads cracking jokes, and not even to her - she’s a sensitive one (which I love). The funniest part is the coach wore a silly (admittedly less silly) mustache the whole season, his son was one of the goobers cracking jokes, and everyone actually really got along great over the season.

            On the other hand, the kinda stuff you’re describing does happen, and my kiddo has already had to extract herself from a friend group that was heading solidly in that direction. No bueno! Bad parenting by crappy people usually, in my experience.

    To quote some standup I saw 20 years ago from a black woman about black ladies’ hair:

    “Sooooo, I want it short but also long, with spikes up front aaaaand a spoiler from a Ford Fiesta.”

    It’s not terrible, I’m sure it achieves exactly the results the owner intended: turns heads, memorable, somewhat exciting.

    The barber is Bohdan Vasylkov, based in Warsaw, Poland. This one in particular is posted on his Instagram as a “Neo-Saiyan Cut.”

    Honestly, this is probably one of the least offensive ones lmao.

      He’s actually doing some really new and interesting things. Probably none of it is going to catch on as a look, but it’s unique.

      Also, a lot of the cuts look interesting because of how he shaves it. A week or two after the cut and it will lose the effect - another reason why none of these will trend.

        Yeah that was my first thought after getting over the weirdness of it, “How manageable is this hair going to be after getting home and later as it grows out?”

    At least there’s no moustache-with-no-beard going on.

    I’ve no idea who told kids they can pull that shit off, but they can’t.

        Sure, older men can pull off a moustache.

        Sam Elliott. Nick Offerman. Hell, even Pedro Pascal.

        Now see Michael Cera. That’s what all young people look like trying to make this work.

        A moustache is earned, not granted.
