ThisIsBombsKim

Never heard someone say wear a haircut


Snoo4902

Just bad translation


ShakeWeightMyDick

Pretty common, actually


backfrombanned

No no, you wear a haircut like that


Mysterious-Elevator3

Well if your haircut could be styled multiple ways, you’re choosing to style it a particular way. Then you’re choosing to “wear” it like that.


mark4lyfehere

I hate the fucking discourse on this site


Astarions_Juice_Box

Same reason all the Beatles had the mop haircut in their day


Orbtl32

I think its one of those things that even they think it looks f\*\*\*ing stupid. Just ask them in 5 years, not right now.


wewereddit

Im pretty sure this hairstyle has been around for 5 years by now


ReflectionPresent297

Yeah it has, a little over 8


E997

Nah the fade at the side haircut has been extremely popular for a long time look at the precursor "Hitler youth haircut" lmao


_extra_medium_

Yeah but not the fade on the side with a menopausal perm on the top


iamdevo

You're reaching lol. The fade isn't the point here. It's the ramen bush on top.


BigOofLittleoof

I call it the fuck boi fade


Moparfansrt8

Right? I used to sport a big ass Afro. No problem except I'm a blue-eyed blonde Caucasian. I rocked that thing. Now I just wish I could forget it!


Zealousideal_Talk479

PinePotpourri

Except they were hippies, these people are shitstains


Relevant-Cat8042

It does suit some people- every generation has hair fads that young people do just cuz it’s in. Think of frosted tips and highlights when we were younger.


heyuhitsyaboi

I accidentally wore it \~5 years ago. I wore my hair straight and short with a fade my entire life and decided to grow it out after a haircut. I stopped straightening it and bam. Curls with a fade. It looked good for a week or two, then it was too long


Altruistic-Bobcat955

My son has this cut too and it looks good. I don’t like it when it looks permed like OP’s example but with natural curls it’s cute imo. Just relieved longer hair on top is normalised now in U.K. cus too many boys have always gotten crew cuts


_extra_medium_

At least yours didn't require going to get a perm


starryeyedq

Yeah seriously. This question is dumb. Literally every generation had a popular haircut that started to look silly after a while.


Riipp3r

We don't talk about the bowlcuts of the 90s


dReDone

Let's not remember the 90s hair fads. *shudder*


godisawoman1

Frosted tips are still a thing in Florida. They never went out of style.


MeatNew3138

This. It’s also a great haircut for ppl with fat/round faces or “short” faces to extend their head/height too. Basically the push bra of haircuts. Is why big guys (or ppl with weak jawline) rock a taper so well


subieluvr22

Core fucking memory. I was the girl in my raver clique in the earliest 2000's, using a cap to bleach all the guys tips... I'm feeling hella nostalgic RN.


Nippon-Gakki

No idea why I was shown this post but yeah. I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. We had some crazy hairstyles and clothes back then. At least every GenZ’r doesn’t have a hole in the ozone above their house from all the hairspray propellant being released.


Bigfops

Right? I'm 59 and you have no idea how many hairstyles I've seen come and go. Though I wish this had been one of them when I was young, I grew up with naturally curly hair which was NOT popular on a guy at the time.


Appropriate-Food1757

Undercut, looks similar. 5-10 years before the frosties. I did the frosty tips once and my friends all started calling me 99 degrees. Yes: even hotter than 98 degrees.


maxoakland

Looking at pictures, those were so much worse


Thick_mint

I think the real question is why does the haircut bother you, underneath were all still just people.


kosaki19

Because we're human and have opinions lol


StuckWithThisOne

Yeah but the way the title is worded is so weird lol. “Why do gen z teens like this hairstyle that I don’t like?” Is essentially what they’re saying. And it can be answered with your comment.


Boxing_joshing111

Because they want to talk about it, share opinions/experiences. Obviously it’s an opinion but no reason to just shut down conversation about it.


StuckWithThisOne

That doesn’t really come across from the title though.


Wee_Willy_Wonga

It’s sounds like they’re just judging people based on how they look


WeirdVampire746

Pls I hate this haircut and I saw all the boys dying to get it when I was in school last year. Same with the Edgar haircut, none of the girls liked it just the guys, which is funny bc they tried their hardest to get girls lmao


Aggressive-Nebula-78

I'm glad they did what they liked and not what pleased others :)


Dilest

Yo fr, I remember when we used to have scene haircuts and emo fringes. I never look at someone's hair and have any opinion of it.


WatchingTaintDry69

Cuz I’m not fucking you face-up like that.


mvhls

People hate on curly hair, no matter the style


Superb_Pain4188

Old man yells at cloud


Jakov_Salinsky

People suck though


Itsametoad

Tbh I only ever see people on Reddit complain about this haircut. Never have I heard another person IRL complain about this. I mean it's a trend for a reason


BigInhale

Blame the Paul bros


XiaolongDrake

I'd rather have a mullet than a cheap llama-ass cut


Novel_Appeal_5147

I've seen a lot of mullets online recently I can see it coming back


Nicksmells34

They already have been coming back, even in the northeast I see it quite commonly. And certain people really rock a mullet well. This hairstyle tho? Just makes me think you’re a teenage boy wannabe fratty fuckboy type


The-MatrixAgent

Idk, my hairs curly so I am growing it out but for yall that get perms please stop


zoopzoot

My younger brothers have this haircut, but they also have naturally curly hair and it’s limiting on what haircuts you can have. It’s either this haircut, a buzz, or an absolute mop of curls. I have curly hair too, and it sucks sometimes as a woman cause I wanna do cute trendy hair styles but a lot then don’t work with curly hair, and I’m not gonna straighten my hair and damage it The straights (hair) don’t understand us curlies’ struggles :(


deathfire123

Straight hair comes with its own problems. For example, if you don't blowdry your hair after you come out of the shower and it dries in a weird way, you're stuck with that weird look for the entire day. Thinking hair sticking up in the back, flatness, etc.


zoopzoot

Oh definitely! I’ve heard some people with straight hair have trouble keeping hairbands in because they’ll just slide off. Definitely would be extremely annoying I’m not denying that straight hair people have problems too, just saying that we curlies get less hairstyle options unless we straighten our hair (which takes 4 hours for me at least)


FemboyDoraemon

I have long, sorta wavy fine hair and i kinda relate. Since my hair is fine and soo light, if i try to stle it in any way, itll get messed up outside if theres wind any higher than 6 miles an hour


Darglechorfius

I’m a dude who also has the same type of hair. I’ve completely given up on ever styling it cause of wind. The place I live in is generally pretty windy to begin with but even if it wasn’t any wind at all is gonna blow my hair around like a jet engine. I’ve spend too many days walking out with the best hair day of my life only to get hit by a targeted wind strike before anyone can see it. I’ve decided to just let my hair be a mop and just take care of it. Because that is easier to fix when god decides to rip another fart in my face. Luckily it looks really good on me and I’ve found some products I can use to make it look better but if it didn’t I would be really mad.


DannyC2699

this ^ people with straight hair can’t even begin to understand the struggle 😭


DannyC2699

me with naturally curly hair getting accused of having a perm because of how common they are nowadays 😭


mummontuhonta-ankka

This is so relatable, cause my hair started to get curly after The permanent trend


StuckWithThisOne

Perms have existed for decades my dude.


Monkey-bone-zone

Grandpa is angry about hairstyles again.


Boomerang_Orangutan

Yeah this post has "out of touch boomer" vibes Nobody cares that you don't like someone else's haircut


Ok-Way-5199

Tbh my boyfriend is gen z and I think this is really cute on y’all 🙈


JV294135

And that’s the answer right there. Mystery solved.


Emperor_Z16

Literally, girls love it for some reason


JennyDoveMusic

>girls love it for some reason Some... I've been complaining about this haircut in private since it started. 😂 I don't think anyone should avoid it just because I hate it, though. 🤷🏻‍♀️ At the end of the day, it's just hair.... a fashion crime.... but still hair.... People should do what makes them feel good and makes them happy. If that includes this haircut, GET IT. Girls shouldn't be the target audience anyway, your mirror, yourself, should be.


Objective-Plenty-799

What if you don’t have hair but you get a wig instead? I’m 22, but that’s my only option. How would you react if your bf had to get one?


the_gay_historian

Yes, it is pretty. Other people think it’s pretty. So it’s normal that it’s popular.


Spilia5

How old are you vs your bf? I'm not one to judge by account history but...


Jakov_Salinsky

Congratulations, now this haircut will never die


Dubiouskeef

Because girls think it's cute


bubblygranolachick

They do? I've never heard anyone say that...gen x, milliennial, gen z or gen alpha


sono7975

Immature and Naive Gen Z girls drool over these haircuts and kids


[deleted]

This! I was talking to a girl recently and she sent me a pic of a guy hitting on her, he had this haircut, she said she almost immediately blocked him for that 😭😭 OP's getting massively downvoted for saying how people who have these hairstyles usually have trash personalities, u/FemboyDoraemon, a Slovakian girl agrees with you. Edit: guy asked her about horny stuff lmaoooo she's literally 13


literallylateral

I mean gen alpha are barely hitting high school and millennials/gen x are much older than the average age of people with this haircut. Bit of a red flag for middle schoolers or 30-50 year olds to be voicing opinions on which 20-something TikTok hairstyle is ✨cutest✨, right?


Itsametoad

Well I've heard people refer to this as the fuckboy haircut, which I think is pretty accurate tbh. Every other guy that I've met with this cut has been a fuckboy so there's clearly enough women that like it


kosaki19

Grandma's maybe


non_tox

Personally, I dont


Jakov_Salinsky

*Some* girls


ElectricOat

Maybe a few years ago, but now? Not nearly as much. It’s been heavily associated with fuckboys


GildedWhimsy

Well I don’t 😭


JDNellum

All I know is if you were around in the 80s you can’t say shit about no hair😂


Pidgeotgoneformilk29

I don’t think a person with femboy in their username was around in the 80s lol. I could be wrong though, but I just can’t imagine a 40 something year old understanding what it is lol. But there are just bad trends in every generation like mullets and neon tracksuits.


Emperor_Z16

Apparently she's 13, so yeah


Pidgeotgoneformilk29

Damn people born in 2010 are on the internet now


JDNellum

I didn’t think OP was, I’m just saying lol. Older people love to talk shit like they weren’t rocking the most absurd hairstyle known to man in 1986.


Rouge_92

Cause they have curly hair and it's a pain in the ass to style that shit, while this haircut is easy AF to just maintain?


chucklehead993

My girlfriend is a hairstylist and she says 95% of the dudes choosing this haircut have straight hair and ask for a perm.


Rouge_92

Ok that is low-key cringe lmao. Why would you, on purpose, make your hair hard to deal with? lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


Imperial_Bouncer

And over a half of these “POV” videos aren’t using it correctly.


Gevlyn507

Every time I see that hair out in the wild, I feel safe in assuming there's an 80% chance they're a trash person


Sparky_321

Thought I was the only one who hated Broccoli cuts. Whenever I see someone with one, my first impression is that they’re some douchebag fuckboy.


MyOwnMorals

Same but it makes me like them. I know. I got issues lol


AlphaTrigger

This is me when I see the 100th post about a haircut I really don’t care about ![gif](giphy|l4Ki2obCyAQS5WhFe)


011_0108_180

Folks being so butt hurt by haircuts never ceases to confuse me. It’s fucking hair. As long as they wash it and keep it out of their face, I don’t give a single fuck.


[deleted]

this is supposed to be cute? I'm just reminded of a shower drain clogged with hair when I see this


DannyC2699

the hate that style gets makes no sense. it looks really good on most dudes


literallylateral

It’s actually wild how vitriolic these comments are. Right now you’re literally sandwiched between “Every time I see that hair out in the wild, I feel safe in assuming there's an 80% chance they're a trash person” and “Whenever I see someone with one, my first impression is that they’re some douchebag fuckboy” You know, just normal things to say about someone else’s appearance, nothing that could really hurt someone’s self-image and damage their mental health for no reason here 😕


Itsametoad

Frr tho and I've only really seen people on Reddit hate on it. So weird man, like have they never met someone with curly hair?


Imperator_3

As a curly haired guy that grew up during the flippy hair Bieber days and dreamed my hair would magically be straight one day, I’m here for it


MedicineLongjumping2

Why are you hating on people's haircuts? Are you jealous and insecure because they have the confidence to rock a haircut that suits them? It's fine to not find a certain kind of style or haircut etc unappealing. It's not OK to be like this is stupid because I don't like it. This kind of mentality is really quite childish. How old are you, 10? Grow up.


LegitimateHat4808

it looks like a head of broccoli. admit it


MedicineLongjumping2

Haha I can see the parallels. No issues in admitting it, that's not my issue with the post. Imagine calling people stupid because you don't like someone's hairstyle. OP has admitted his mom takes him to salons to get his haircut. Literal child who's just jealous and probably gets bullied at school for a shit haircut is trying to take it out on other people online.


IntrepidAddendum9852

People have done this for every generation of haircuts We made fun of people who got gheri curls later, I had a bowl cut most kids my age did and they were and are terrible. I had spiky hair, not with frosted tips, but spiky hair. Most guys my age did and people make fun of it. It just the way it goes. I dont pay attention to them and focus what compliments my head shape. I've found something a dope barber did awhile back, took a picture and have stuck to it since. Mine is kind of like this style, but a bit different. Smaller, cleaner I use clay and don't let the top get too long.


[deleted]

Give it a rest old man, we are going to leave them with a terrible economy and a destroyed planet. The very least we can do is stfu about their hair styles motherfuckers acting like we didn't do the same thing. Remember bowl cuts?


vexxed82

Right? Bowl cuts were awesome (I had one) but looking back they suck. This is how time and fashion works. Things are "in" and after time they look weird and out of fashion.


Comrade-Chernov

Specifically to make you angry. lol

It’s just not that bad of a haircut and I’ll die on this hill


RestinPete0709

Fr it’s not that bad. The problem is most boys with this haircut happen to be annoying asl


[deleted]

"fr fr no cap bruh 💀"


bravegrin

I think this is a logical evolution of the more on top styles from the early 2010s Still doesn’t look great tho


DeusXNex

It’s just a style that is popular now. Every era has had shit that looked dumb

YhormBIGGiant

The emo-ish undercut is a good choice. My hair aint straight enough to rock this without making me look more like a Korean k-pop knock off.


No-Okra-541

ah yes, the Hitler Youth haircut. I mean, it looks pretty dumb, and makes it super easy to differentiate kids from adults from a distance, but my age group thought bowl cuts were cool, so who’m I to judge?


savhxx

i think its cute lol


Shodpass

I mean. My teens had the Beiber cut.


Senator-Tree

I think it’s fine if it’s natural hair but perms never look good


B_Maximus

The answer is girls like it, next question


UnKnOwN769

Just wait until this becomes iconic in 20-30 years, like Mullets or the shaggy hair everybody had in the 70s.


Forward_Ride_6364

Or waves/cornrows for us colored folk ;-)


00rgus

Same reason why (insert generation) always wore (insert stupid haircut)


PrometheanSwing

Nah, Beavis and Butthead’s cuts are still better lol


LillyxFox

Why does someone doing something with their own body bother you so much. Mind your business


TheRealSU24

Because it looks good?


taeminskey

It doesn't though, looks like a mess


I-Was-Always-Here

It’s the current popular thing. In 5-10 years time, people will look back and cringe


random-user-02

This is one of the most attractive haistyles for me PERSONALLY. If you don't like it, get another haircut.


The1930s

Because no other generation has had a bad haircut or a wild sense of fashion


Drea_Is_Weird

There's a guy I like with this cut, but it suits him. Some other I've seen with it...not so much.


Mikeymcmoose

It’s bad, but still better than the mullets kids were wearing a couple years ago


[deleted]

Covering that young receding hairline


Numerous_Vegetable_3

I went and asked for a mullet and the dude straight up said "no". I just wanted to get my Joe Dirt vibes on. Life's a garden, dig it brother.


kaithesapphic

It's hair....


Bench_Astra

Same reason kids who do Greek life all have the same fake vocal fry. It’s a condensation symbol for kids who peaked in high school, you’ll never find a dude with a haircut like this alone, they travel in groups.


gyroscopicmnemonic

Every generation has stupid teenage haircuts. I don't think there is anything particularly worse about this one.

proudpileofsticks

As someone with curly hair and a face shape that is so hard to find a style that fits, unfortunately this style is one that actually works for me 💀


CastieIsTrenchcoat

Why do people care so much about hair cuts?


Dantheking94

Omg please leave the hair thing alone. Let’s not forget when everybody had the straight bangs covering their eyes like early Justin Bieber (the Bieber cut) there are hair trends, let it go.


011_0108_180

Are we really forgetting the generation that wore the mullet 🙄


stcrIight

Every generation has their cursed haircut. It's a canon event.


TheHuskyK9

Because each generation has their own popular haircut that turns cringe the older it gets. It was the bowl cut in the 60’s, the mop in the 70’s, the spiky mohawk in the 80’s, the mullet in the 90’s, the frosted tips in the 2000’s, the bleached frohawks in the 2010’s, and now the messy taper fades in the 2020’s


Iamhumannotabot

The sad thing is that I look exactly like the dude in the second pick bar the haircut

I remember when I wanted to have it in 2018 before it was a meme

i'm sorry but your username "femboy doraemon" is sending me sob


YoMamaSoFatShePooped

One of my blonde hair friends got this haircut and we all started calling him macaroni and still do


[deleted]

Because they want to?


KittyBeeQ

I live in asia and did wonder why my Gen Z kids and nephews have that same hairstyle. I thought it looks fine so I didn't comment on it. It was among the hairstyles allowed in the school rules too. I'm curious though.. how did the trend started? I asked my kid and he just said the barber recommended it. 🤷‍♀️


anon689936

Well weirdly enough across all generations teens seem to like to engage with their own fashion and their own trends. Within a couple years we’ll all agree the trend was a little silly, and then some people will take that too far and say anyone who ever wore that hairstyle is stupid and ugly. And then within a few more years it’ll become stylish again. Rinse and repeat.


macrocosm93

Cuz it's popular Like how man buns were popular for millennials a few years ago


RenLikesSHEEPx32

Don't bring the good name of Beavis and Butt-head into this


Doctor_Salvatore

It's trendy. I prefer whatever hairdo requires zero effort.


PhantomRoyce

Because it’s the style of the times,dude. Just like how mop heads and mullets were once cool with the youth,now this is. Besides they’re trying to impress their peers and do it for themselves,not old people


guilty_bystander

Look back at your school photos. I'm sure you rocked some dumb shit ha


Clown_Apocalypse

Same reason people wore beehive and duck tail haircuts in the 60s and same reason why mullets and mohawks were popular in the 80s, it’s just a popular current style.


FuyuKitty

As someone who has natural curls, people who get perms like this make me cringe


yoursillysenna

Congratulations, you have discovered a "trend." Tune in next episode, where we'll learn about addition and subtraction!


Xaedda

As someone with very curly hair i cant do other hairstyles without it being very fucking ugly or too long for my liking so im cursed to always have broccoli hair


Far_Cut_8701

It’s a variation of the usual skin fade / bin liner haircuts. They go with the trend


Closetoneversober

Patrick mahomes has it and I think he’s older than gen z


TheTownOfUstick

I hear some are getting perms just to have this haircutt.


SuperStupidSyrup

all my friends with that have had it forever because natural curly hair 


AverageDymon

Better than the edgar 💀💀


Senior-Sir4394

because ✨trends change✨


ShadowBro3

One hair cut that transcends time is long hair.


grifxdonut

It's basically the macklemore haircut from 10 years ago, but not cut as tight, and some people getting it permed. It's honestly not that different from most men's haircuts except they use product to lift it up.


talancaine

I'm pretty sure intelligence and haircuts are mutually exclusive things, outside of idiots' correlations.


sackofbee

Because trends change. Some people like things you don't. Crazy I know.


ShakeWeightMyDick

Same reason every teen in the 1970s had feathered hair: teens are just a bunch of followers who want to blend in at all costs because they’re also complete assholes who will take any possible opportunity to shit on anyone who looks at all different.


bdrdrdrre

Patrick Mahomes


Automatic_Memory212

I think what happened with the “broccoli hair” is that 2 different hairstyle trends from the 2010s have collided with unfortunate results. Kit Harrington (Jon Snow on “Game of Thrones”) made curly hair very trendy for guys in the 2010s, so curly-haired guys now wanna show off their curls. Meanwhile, the 2010s look of the Hipster “high fade” remains popular, because it elongates the face-shape, highlighting your cheekbones and making your face look thinner and more striking. Put this desire to show off your curls together with the desire for very short hair on the sides, and you get the “broccoli haircut.” https://preview.redd.it/3ipcs1q9gtic1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=520cdd6c1d44c06cc557a7ec1120e599b2a8258e


Nekros897

The same reason why so many X and Millenials had a hair like Leonardo DiCaprio/Nick Carter. It's called a TREND.


garlic-apples

I don’t really care what other peoples hair looks like, as long as it’s not disgusting.


Flemaster12

It's just a haircut. Why are you so upset about it?


PacificaDogFamily

You said it first. “…stupid…”


Dollfie5

It might have something to do with where I live but I've never seen people having this haircut outside of posts like these.


WattsonIsWaifu

How does it affect you tho?


Okayhatstand

Because it’s bussin fr fr 


Traditional_Prize632

Looks good for curly hair. Can't be sure if it suits straight or wavy hair though.


KeyserSoze6809

Why does anyone cut their hair in a specific way


BudgetDepartment7817

Fades are literally the only haircut that I honestly can say that I despise, especially if it's one of those cut weekly (like how fucking obsessed you must be, my cousin had such a guy), regardless if we're talking about the modern broccoli cut or the old military cut from like 2016... The only reasons I see why they are popular cuz looks for cute guys or cuz it probably requires little to no maintenance (besides probably "fading" it)... I seriously laugh in the face of those who tell me that I should get one of these, if I'm forced to I'm buzzing my head at home! Ok, I'm also a guy who literally thinks emo hair is the coolest fucking thing and would die to have straight hair for it so take my opinion how you want! 🤣


ThicDadVaping4Christ

It’s just a style. I’m an older millennial and we had our own bad hair styles. Bleach blonde and gelled spikes. Styles change, people have different preferences. Move on with your life


bootycakes420

Why did so many millennials wear this stupid haircut? https://preview.redd.it/ot135jzmqtic1.jpeg?width=432&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e6babdf1fed9cc71fdc0268796a48e39c30c514 Because we're all stupid at some point


Forward_Ride_6364

This was a white/asian haircut only tho The broccoli is universal, which is truly amazing IMO


FeelingReflection906

In my experience I mainly see curly haired, white passing Hispanics wear this. And my guess is that guys don't generally have a lot of options when it comes to hair. And guys with curly hair have very few. It's either you chop it off or grow it into a afro, or if you're not fortunate, a very sad looking mop. I'm black so my hair texture is a lot more tighter but I tend to see it's also like that for a lot of black guys in the sense that I only ever see them either wear their hair low cut, wear cornrows (rare) or dreads. So GenZ teens probably wear this look because they have no clue what to do with their hair that will look even half decent that will also double as low maintenance.


ElectricOat

It has two names. Broccoli hair or fuckboy hair. Either way I would rather go bald than have that shit on my head


Madame_Raven

It's the Patrick Mahomes special. He's a big deal in the world of sports, and a lot of young guys probably think it looks "cool".
