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.
What the fuck is broccoli hair?
It’s a temple fade. Kinda like what people wore in the 90s and early 2000s.
No
Exhibit B:
I’m probably the only one but I think it looks pretty cool.
I think it looks like stupid influences, very punchable.
it does, people get saltier and crankier with time
I’m 40+ and hope it will not happen to me any time soon.
What do you even ask for at the barbers to end up with that?
Skin fade to pot noodle, please mister?
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?
They do.
Where I am, mullets made a comeback a year or so ago, and now the odd person will get one.
My condolences
We get a weird half mullet. It’s long-ish in the back, short on the sides, and long-ish on top. It’s like they wanted a mullet, but wanted plausible deniability too.
Just commit…
Not just mullets, but mullet and tache combo.
That happened half a decade ago here. Been spreading.
Yes. Odd people.
The early 90’s mushroom haircut trend was worse by far
Once the butt cut was peak hair.
Is that five different people?
I hate to sound racist against (other) white people, but I genuinely can’t tell the difference between these 5. I bet they can’t dance and like mayonnaise as well…
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?
Absolutely bring back the ska! Tbf, it never really went away, just not in the mainstream anymore.
Tbf, it never really went away, just not in the mainstream anymore.
You can say that about most things people want to bring back.
I’d like to see 50-60 year olds doing up their hair like the Static-X guy.
Fuck yeah static-generation-x
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!
I would argue Converse is pretty timeless
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.
Yeah, but you didn’t have to go get a perm done for that style. You just got a $15 hair cut.
And a ton of gel.
Round our way it is still mullets and Ned Flanders moustaches.
Good for them. I could never pull that off.
That looks like a fine haircut.
Why are we hating on things people like again? It doesn’t look bad. You all are aging like that dude who “chose poorly”
I’m only surprised it’s the hair that’s silly. I thought the standard for intergenerational mockery was leg fashion. And unless you want to get on these kids for treating pajama bottoms like sweatpants… eh.
We had tight-rolled, acid-washed jeans, so much better than sweatpants /s
Look, stupid as JNCOs are, they were intended for outdoor use. Possibly as a tent. That’d explain the size and all the carabiners.
The leg fashion is joggers, but joggers are actually pretty dope so it’s hard to make fun of them. Snug and out of the way down low, loose and not constraining up high, they’re basically the perfect pants.
They still look silly.
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.
Is that viking hair cut even real or just some invention for movies and TV shows?
That’s real. Vikings did a lot of breading and added beads to beards and hair. They also sometimes shaved the sides and had asymmetric haircuts too. We know the hair styles from their graves. The length of hair varied. They let them grow out and cut them when they were long enough. You could do a lot of things with such long hair.
The viking hair styles you see in the movies are mostly real.
But vikings did not have dreadlocks. They probably didn’t know about them.
This is wrong:
And this is wrong too:
They also often wore necklaces and wristbands with runes made of silver, iron or wood. Something like this:
This was to either show your wealth or as an amulet. The futhark (runes) were not just an alphabet they also were magical characters. Each rune had its own special meaning.
For example ᚠ (fehu, engl. cattle) stood for wealth, abundance and security. You wore that rune if you wanted that. And smiths added runes to tools and weapons to add magical powers to them.
I just do a simple fade at home. Takes about 15 min and keeps my shampoo consumption manageable.
How do you knock out a fade on your own? The back of the head is a real bitch.
Practice and low expectations.
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.
I sometimes wish I had hair so I could change up my looks every now and then. I’m rocking a shiny bald head and have to change up my prescription glasses every now and then for a different look.
But then again, I only have to shave. Nothing more involved. It’s a very easy to maintain style, this genetic baldness thing.
Cuts kinda like that are cyclical.
I never had that cut, and it came a generation or two after mine, but it looks fine to me.
Broccoli hair? (quick duckduckgo) oh, you mean an 80s perm?
Nah the 80s perm can and did look good, imagine Bob Ross without one. They cut way too mcuh off the sides for it to look good on most folks, ya need a very specific head shape.
I just assumed they meant the ramen do.
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.
This is definitely one of the more ridiculous and unattractive coifs out there, and it spans generations. Ben Affleck or Alister of Dragon Age anyone?
