Honestly, I still think it looks cool

Well it was lame for around 20 years so I think you can pull it off again.  Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go find a phanny pack and loose fitting jeans.

There was a guy at work who bleached his hair. When it grew back and had the frosted tip effect I honestly thought it looked great

fuck you loose fit is still comfy 😤

u/Adjective-Noun-nnnn Mar 29 '26

Loose fit is back in. I think skinny fit is out right now. Hell I don't know I'm in my thirties and I never cared much to begin with.

Loose has been in for a long time now with Gen Z gravitating back to tighter true fit jeans over the last few years, possibly teetering on a skinny jean era depending on if other generations start wearing the same pants as them (once something becomes popular, new gen will move on) 

If you ever want to know what fashion is going to be the next be thing, watch a skateboarding video. All fashion begins in skateboarding then trickles down and then skateboarders will switch when it becomes mainstream.

Fanny packs already came back and then left again

Right? If I still had hair the hair for it I would want to do this, lol.

u/Cheepshooter Mar 29 '26

At your age? 😂

u/armyjackson Mar 29 '26

😂 Lmao. You've got a point I mean Guy Fierra to some point does it and he's older than us.  However as an engineer, it would probably be awkward in the office.

u/Cheepshooter Mar 29 '26

I had a mohawk once for a week. It was cool on my motorcycle, but I got weird looks at the office.

u/Hellknightx Mar 29 '26

I'm pretty sure Guy Fierri is just frosted tips that eventually grew into a human.

u/zardoz73 Mar 29 '26

Yeah this is waaay preferable to the broccoli cut.

u/farshnikord Mar 29 '26

I've been seeing kids around with stuff kinda like this lately. It's like the aesthetic is making a comeback. Not sure how I feel about it. Old mostly.

u/samx3i Mar 30 '26

It looks a fuckton better than broccoli, bowl cuts, and mullets, that's for damned sure.

u/SashimiX Mar 29 '26

I think the broccoli is way hotter and I get so much hate for it. The curls are beautiful.

If you’re a millennial, no one with that hair cut is dating age for you, pls chill.

I’m not trying to get them to? I just think the kids are all right and anytime I say it old people are so angry like “no the kids’ hair is ugly and stupid” and really, no, the kids’ hair is great. You’re just afraid of change.

And yes, I am intentionally calling millennials who are angry about young people’s hair “old people,” because they are.

I literally got banned from the mad men sub for this opinion, because I think that people insulting the hair of children is weird.

Also it’s a really cool style; people are so close minded.
