    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!

          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 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

              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.

          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.)

          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.

          Insufficient sleep meme demonstrating you guys are getting X guy

        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!”

        I hear it’s better to burn out than to fade away. I think that’s the anthem of 2025 America.

    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.

      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?

          Yeah that one doesn’t fit. Kids have continued buying chucks straight up to modern day. Only difference is the soles appear to have gotten chunkier.

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

        Well given that broccoli hair is just another word for the perms from the 80s, just give it 20 years and it’ll be back in again. You could even be ahead of the curve, just give it some new name, christmas cake hair for example if it’s all about frosted tips, and start wearing it in 15 years time. You’ll become famous for “starting” a “new” trend!

    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

    The problem with every trendy teenager haircut is that everyone that’s not a teenager themselves will associate the hair cut with douchy teenagers, thus ruining it. The issue is never the haircut itself but the associations with it’
