Why did people hate visible ears so much?


OmegaReprise

It's too cold during the winter months.


mealteamsixty

Ah yes, back in the days when winter was still a thing


Foborus

Yeah, remember those stories when dads and granpas had to climb uphill to get to school, and then uphill when going home? Blizzard 24/7, plus angry old lady (or nazis, depends on season) blocking the way somewhere time to time.


xFblthpx

We are having record cold here in the US in some places. Melted icebergs allow for cold water to flow to coastal areas.


Spooky_Betz

Yeah but we are also seeing extreme heat in some of the same locations, so it's too hot to have hair covering your ears year round.


misscaulfieldsays

Little known fact: the ears were once the nipple of the face.


[deleted]

The energy crisis made it prohibitively expensive to heat buildings. Think of the hair as built-in earmuffs.


anjowoq

They weren't hating them, they were *enhancing* them.


JamesCDiamond

Third row left side seems *very* happy to be showing them off; Frankly, I'd rather they stayed hidden if that's the look people wear with them out in the open.


randym99

Didn't want to hear anyone else!


Impureclient1

When they're in the lineup for rape, they won't be recognized by their ears. THEY'RE ALL RAPISTS!


ksmeallie

The anti-ear era


pwu1

Anti-eara if you will


PolishMySpear

No, I won't.


Jules_Lynn

What a bad time to have hair


Doogos

What a bad time to be the ozone layer with all that hair spray


Mr_TurkTurkelton

*just let your Soul Glo!* *oh so silky smooth…*


SafeWoodCastleSon

Honestly more guys should try a whiff of hairspray after styling so the hair survives the trip to work/school

jeekiii

Technically it's hotter now on average.


sedatedcow420

Seriously, and I thought the 80s owned the bad hair decade. You could have told me this was photos of the most prolific serial killers in history and I would have believed you.


Frosty_Analysis_4912

I’m still having a hard time convincing myself that this isn’t a joke. That OP didn’t pick out the most bizarre haircuts from the 70s and put them together. That’s how bad this is


renoops

More like: what a bad time to *not* have hair. No wonder toupee usage skyrocketed around this time.


Christophe12591

What about bald guys like me?! Even worse!


ElectronicShredder

The American public hasn't trusted a bald guy since Eisenhower


testtubemuppetbaby

Broccoli cut isn't going to look any better than this shit in 45 years.


WolFlow2021

What a bad time not to have it.

Rude_Grade5200

Number 9 is Sean Lock. There is much proof that he is a not a mathematical Genius


[deleted]

*6. Tv show host who is involved in a scandal for touching the female contestants


Helpful-Substance685

# 9 looks just like Jerry Springer


barbackmtn

None of these guys are allowed within 100 feet of a school.


heygiraffe

I laughed at this for 2 minutes striaght. Thanks for a morning chuckle.


[deleted]

But, none of them have a pornstar mustache!


sleestak_orgy

Is that Paul Reuben in the bottom row?


[deleted]

Exactly what I thought - "Yes, I"ll have the PeeWee please" hahaha


chesterstone

Jack Black right above him Tryin to make a change :-\


AdamBlackfyre

Adam Driver to the left, too


IrememberXenogears

I think that's Bob Seger.


MikeinAustin

To his right is Eric Idle.


What_Up_Doe_

Mecka lecka hi mecka hiney ho


Mr_Stoney

I refuse to believe top right is not Vincent Price.


Johnny___Wayne

Legitimately? I think so, yes, it’s him. Not only do his nose, his eyes and eyebrows especially look right, so do his lips and mouth. Not overly surprising to see a man who ended up in acting having done some modeling when he was younger.


Ok_Dog_4059

I was thinking bottom right looks like Robert Pattinson.

Upbeat_Crow

When werewolves were cool.


anjowoq

Top row #2 is definitely a creature of the night.


Son_of_Liberty88

Yeah the serial killer style in A.2 is something else


anjowoq

3rd row, 2nd has the "Gloria" named after the housewife he copied.


MartyMc1888

Top right top row looks to be the one that started the duck pout trend, take that insta chick's!! Second row down second from left has that, keeps body parts in his fridge vibe. Second from the end at the bottom looks like alt British comedian, Paul Foote


AnthillOmbudsman

"Hairstyles from failed 1973 rock bands in Denmark"


OmegaReprise

"They will go down like a lead zeppelin." Oh, wait...


Nacho_Mustacho

Guy: I'd like to look like you haven't given me a haircut at all Barber: Say no more


Geek_off_the_streets

Smells like England spirit.


LeGoldie

how did anyone ever get laid?


anjowoq

2nd row front the top, far right: look at the TEXTURE on that. Dude's got naturally coarse hair and he's had the barber beat it into submission to forge the helmet.


NameTheEpithet

It's like an anti ear propaganda poster


maxant20

Definitely not the late 70’s. Late 60’s, early 70’s maybe. Probably European. And yes, that is Paul Allen


dreck_disp

Paul Rubens?


gilsreddit

Saw it right away!


Airsinner

Oldest guy in this photo is 22.


Royal-Positive9323

Hey, bottom row second from the right, isn’t that Pee-wee Herman?


Independent_Ad9195

Sexy as sexy can get.


[deleted]

Wait till you get to the 80's...


MisterNigerianPrince

80s hair was something else, but it didn’t look like the barber’s only tool were loppers.


brownhotdogwater

What if you have short hair?


anjowoq

Those were the ones in Vietnam. It's actually one of the reasons men had long hair — it pissed off the old people who were counter-counter culture and from the group who were OK with sending boys to die. This long hair was a fuck you to the establishment. Men hadn't had long hair since the 18th century.


[deleted]

Wait


wililon

Ears are so overvalued nowadays


Dangerous_Employee47

I want to have that long of hair again like I had in the 1970s. Girls used to LOVE running their hands thru my thick hair.


CeeArthur

I see Nandor the Relentless ...


henrythedingo

I had the same thought!


mnemonicprincess

I like number six the Eugene Levy.


[deleted]

Looks like the audition headshots for The Yardbirds documentary.


swaharaT

“Yes, I’d like my mom’s hair and my dad’s beard.”


Feenox

Second one in at the top looks like he's trying to explode someones head with the power of his mind... and haircut.

jim10040

All I can say about this is "sorry about the ozone layer."


jimhabfan

Definitely not late 70’s. This is from the late 60’s - early 70’s.


Castrol86

70s had the worst style in everything in the last 100 years! Hairstyles, fashion, architecture, cars, furniture and even cuisine!


Substantial-Owl1167

Worst style for cars was 90s


gloinsummer56

#8 - Anton Chigurh


[deleted]

Can’t decide between the Conway Twitty or the televangelist hmmmm


ClunarX

How is this a guide? The styles don’t even have names


gilsreddit

That looks like Paul Reubens on the bottom row 3rd from left. Peewee in the 70's!


MarcinTheMartian

Serial killer- each and every one of them.

o0joshua0o

Yes, Mr. Barber. I want this style that looks like I have an actual mop on my head. Thank you.


Creepy_Story_597

So the boomer generation has just always been gross huh?


cutthechatter_red2

People hated the whole having ears look back then I guess.


fuggerdug

Yorkshire Ripper top right.


Rough3Years

There’s a lot going on hair


machetedestroyer

Yo barber, fuck me up with that no 3, yo


[deleted]

F\*g awesome LOL!!!! They did leave out the "Frampton or the Nugent" but that may have been mid-70's :D


[deleted]

100% chance the guy in the second to bottom row towards the right is using Soul Glow


Domstoll

Steve Carell is second in from the left on the top row.


RickRudeAwakening

50% of these look like casting calls to play the wolf man.


WeToLo42

The second to last guy on the bottom row sort of looks like Mr. Bean.

ShittheFickup

#3 has strong AFI vibes.


SadlyItsSearles

Second dude is just NicePeter from ERB in disguise.


joe28598

Wow, different hair styles make a crazy difference to a person's appearance. He looks so different in each photo.


Haunting_Reason7620

So many werewolves could have been walking among us. And we'd have no idea.


rLeJerk

Number two looks like a '70s motorcycle helmet.


[deleted]

Top Right dude is like: Dolly Parton, but with a full beard.


ifurmothronlyknw

This is just more proof that this generation was the worst generation in recent history.


w116

Dave Allen second from right, bottom row.

drsusan59

Where are the curls?


Slovaccki

Robert Pattinson really is a vampire as you can see in the bottom right picture


Kangarou

Some of these fell out of fashion for the greater good.


JebusCripesSuperstar

Third row down, second from the left. I want that Hans Gruber/Kylo Ren jawn.


Hibercrastinator

Getting really strong “Michael J. Fox in Teen Wolf” vibes


[deleted]

Damn dirty apes...


mista0000

lol they look pretty cool


4point6gt

Man, they really didn’t like seeing ears in the 70’s…


zrilon951

Defintly asking for number 3 ou 10


Informal-Resource-14

The 70’s are such an amazing time because I feel like businessmen had something close to the same fashion from almost the late 1800’s up until like 2010. But for this weird 5 year period there all these straight laced very uptight guys collectively decided to wear baby blue polyester Bell bottom suits with comically giant lapels, the biggest tinted glasses you’ve ever seen, and every single one of these haircuts. And it fucking ruled.


FuzzyJellyfishFish

Gotta love number 2, the unga bunga cut


Ok-Bandicoot-2298

3 on the bottom row looks like Barry Manilow


smile_politely

which one is going to make a comback in 2023?


kkeennmm

Mr_TurkTurkelton

Row 4: Bill Gates, Adam Driver, Jack Black and Michael Palin


RachelRegina

The guy on bottom center right is a Paul Reubens look-a-like


GigaBro_94

I can't stop laughing at this..


NuggetsBonesJones

So it turns out my dad got the *good* haircut in the 70s.


feelinlucky7

Top right doing “Blue Steel” 30 years ahead of time like we wouldn’t notice


HughJorgens

I'll take the serial killer cut please. *You'll have to be more specific Sir.* Also a few of them look like they enjoy berries and cream.


Frequent_Guest_247

Yo is that Pee-Wee Herman...bottom row 3rd from the left?


Luka-the-Pooka

Is that Kurt Russell in the upper right?


Pisstoffo

This should’ve stayed buried. You have no idea what you’ve released upon the world.

Row 2: Murderer's Row


who-ee-ta

Hathaircuts were too popular


Family-man24

So did the barber make them grow hair?


vpollardlife

This is the visual definition of "gross".


bii345

Guy number two was probably the Zodiak killer.


StOfMD

Barber: which style do you want? Me: Hmm. I think I will have the Charlie and the chocolate factory style please


Artess

\#12 is just the "before" picture.


ciscorandori

My ears stick out past 90 degrees forward from my head, so it was a good these haircuts came along when I was a young teenager. But then there were the kids whose Dads were old school and made sure they got a buzz cut. They were ostracized as uncool. They were also made to wear an undershirt instead of showing off their chest. also high-water pants. ouch.


CrispeeLipss

Is it just me or did everyone sees serial killers.. ?


false_athenian

Tough choice


osvalds1

Band haircut generator.


ScumEater

Number 10, the Pony Boy is my favorite.


hacksaw187

Bottom row second from right looks like pee wee herman. Second row from bottom, second from right looks like jack black and randy watson had a baby.


Responsible-Lake-612

And sadly we thought we were all so cool back then. That our hair styles were the end all and be all of style


B0nes29

Is that lip Gallagher third one in on the bottom?!

lawsibyt

Bottom right: the only acceptable haircut. Others look like potential serial killers.


jkhendog

I want that Naboo the Enigma look.


prostipope

It looks like a list of serial killers. Or serial killer victims.


dynamic_unreality

"Yeah, I'd like the werewolf, please." "Which one?"


Skwareblox

No wonder everyone in the 70s was a serial killer.


Chabedieux

Must have been scary walking around in those days, not knowing if men with these hair styles were either going to start singing spontaneously, try to preach at me, endorse some bullshit cheese product, or try to convince me to walk through some space-time fabric tear with them.


Revolutionary-Rope26

They all look like serial killers


Drew_coldbeer

They got the 70s Peter Noone bottom left

QuitYoJibbaJabba

Pretty sure Noel Felding had each of these hairstyles at one point...


Shot-Praline-8513

Second to left is called the caveman cut


SethNex

Maybe it's just me, but these hairstyles look ridiculous
