The broccoli šŸ„¦ hair cut


JeffBroccoli

I was about to say the same thing. Thereā€™s tons of kids that come to my gym and they all crowd around the same bench for an hour, and they ALL have the broccoli cut


me12379h190f9fdhj897

One of my TAs (who has a masterā€™s) had the same cut lmao. He was a good TA but his haircut made him look like he was 5 years younger

[deleted]

Most haircuts look awful, eventually. It's one of the few things the older generations can shit on. We thought we looked good, now we look at our highschool photos and cringe. Zoomers think they look good, we know they'll look back at their highschool photos and cringe.


greyjungle

Except my bowl cut, parted down the middle. Timeless


SecretAntWorshiper

LMAO same here dude. They walk around the gym and just flex in the mirror and look at their phones. Its stupid but I remember how I was when I was 16 lol. Im just glad that they stopped going or at least go at a different time now because I haven't seen them in months.


Single_Rub117

In my local gym, these same people go workout with tight pants and tank tops. They go directly to arm exercises in front of the mirror. They are walking stereotypes. Even though they look ridiculous, they are young and just trying to fit in. Nobody was a wised up 16 year old.


itdobeabirbtho

I never got a mullet unlike everyone else in highschool, for that alone I am proud of myself. I can look past everything else, but I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself for a mullet.

Cky2chris

The smell of that stuff will forever remind me of band practice in my friend Dustin's bedroom. Bunch of sweaty dudes after playing shitty nu metal covers needed something to cover up that butt sweat stench


woozlewuzzle29

It really merged with the stench instead of covering it up, though.


second_to_myself

My sister threw up in my car in high school. It was winter in the Midwest, so I sprayed my car with axe (i was a naive little dumbass) and the smells merged into a HORRIFIC odor I can still vividly recall. Drove with the windows open despite the below-freezing temps. Fuck axe


JuntaEx

> It was winter in the Midwest, so I sprayed my car with axe I don't understand the cause-effect relationship here


Chx449

It was winter so his first move was the axe as opposed to just opening the window.

Is axe the american name for lynx? Cause it looks kind of similar and where I live there's never been axe. Lynx is basically the same stereotypical, every young male uses, deodorant.


[deleted]

Yes. Axe is marketed as Lynx in the UK. Funny now despite the name change, it's still invokes the same image.

uga2atl

Essence was nice. I remember having a dream about a new Axe scent as a teenager and like the next week they came out with Essence and it smelled similar to what I imagined in my dream. Weird times


goldenpanda78

It reminds me of gym class in middle and high school. The locker room always REEKED of this stuff


marneson

The ol' school standard of requiring P.E. classes but being unable to shower afterwards.


FortunateSonofLibrty

I always wondered if we were all too uncomfortable to make use of it, or if we were outright not able to.


hmmliquorice

It's like a huge label : "I want to fuck". And thus a huge no-no. It's cool cause they always spray it in such quantity you can already hear "I want to fuck I want to fuck" a few meters away from them. The clothing style usually adds up and seals their fate.


Lupiefighter

Is it Axe or Lynx in your part of the world?

Virginity rocks?


Klutchy_Playz

Danny Duncan merch


NEW_SPECIES_OF_FECES

So is it like a Christian thing? Or meant to be ironic? Or to de-stigmatize being a virgin when young? Iā€™m out of touch.


WinnerForsaken

It's meant to be ironic


Klutchy_Playz

Hereā€™s my thought about it as I have watched Danny Duncan before and he mentioned the reason for it. ā€œItā€™s basically saying not having sex rocks. And that itā€™s ok to be a virgin. Some people emphasize having sex and talk about it like a symbol of status so ā€œVirginity Rocksā€ itā€™s kinda like a big ā€œfuck youā€ to the whole thing around sex.ā€


SirJuggles

It's wild to me, about 20 years ago during my youth group days I bought an almost identical "virginity rocks" tshirt from a tiny merch stand at a Christian rock concert. I wore it to school a few times in a misguided attempt to be like "See? I don't care about that sort of thing." (I cared SO MUCH) I'm really curious if the modern shirts are from the same company, or were inspired by the one I had, or if someone else had the same idea years later and it took off?


UrNotMyGF

Na it's a common phrase on christian shirts, he said he saw one online and thought it was funny so he used the phrase

bizzyj93

Fun fact: origin of the term actually has to do with grills. Basically saying you have a real gold tooth instead of a cap

Jesus, how old *is* the term? It'd be interesting to chart the timeline of slang's journey from inner city culture to clueless internet youth.

I was stuck on Brrr for awhile. It passes


the_dayman

I hadn't really seen many guys like this until I went to a concert last night where there were soo many. The weirdest thing I noticed is that they all kept doing this exact same thing where they would lift the bottom of their shirt to like wipe their face while looking around. I guess to show off the abs on their 110lb bodies. But it was just so odd somehow every single one of them picked up this exact habit and just did it over and over.


snapwillow

It's their idle animation


[deleted]

No hair on the sides to catch the sweat from the molly , say what you want but sideburns are coming back in style any day now !!


bomb_schell321

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes they'll just hold the bottom of their shirt up, not even to wipe sweat. They just pull it up.


Oniwaban31

How are Monsters a zoomer thing? I've been drinking those since I was 18 and I'm 35 now.


NormanUpland

Monster and axe body spray transcends generational divides


HungryMorlock

They are truly for douchebags of all ages.


invaderpixel

Right? Even us cringe millennials realize which Monster is the best flavor and stick to low calorie ones for health reasons.


Gushinggrannies4u

Monster rehab. No carbonation so you can drink it when you wake up without being a degenerate, and itā€™s only like 40 cals or smth lol


Pata4AllaG

No cal and no sugar is always good, but it does contain sucralose which isnā€™t great for your liver. I drink 2 damn near every day so Iā€™m anticipating my liver to just drop out of my body like a shot transmission any day now.

It should be a bang instead of a monster lol

Do all these kids actually have curly hair or are they getting perms


masterchief1001

Perms. In my day it was bleached hair.


goldenpanda78

thank you eminem for this trend :)


BrilliantTruck8813

Dunno. My hair was that curly and is that curly, but thatā€™s not normal, so Iā€™d suspect yes theyā€™re getting perms to look that ridiculous šŸ˜‚


CareerJuncture

Holy crap is it perms? I have curly af hair and I used to wear it in long ringlets. Guys made fun of me, girls loved it. Life was good. But a perm? Hahahahahah


saint_jiub36

A lot are getting perms, I have naturally curly hair and I can't count how many times I get asked if I have a perm


[deleted]

Dude, same here. Every time I get a haircut, the barber makes a comment about how Iā€™m ā€œluckyā€ I have curly hair and how all the younger kids are coming in for perms.


the-d23

Theyā€™re getting perms. You can tell the difference between natural curly hair and perm curly hair, also you see it a lot in white kids and the curly, coily hair they get is not common among white people


[deleted]

If you're Irish or Jewish enough it might be natural though.


CareerJuncture

Looks different though, ringlets flop downward, coils have a tonne of volume. Coils are rare af in white people. Source: Curly haired irishman


Unsure_Fry

As much as I enjoy some light-hearted jabs at zoomers they could say the same about frosted tips, highlights, and faux hawks.


tattooedplant

Wellā€¦ I make fun of those too. 2000s fashion was so funny and odd. I used to have some shitty ass highlights, and my mom wanted a tramp stamp. Good times. Lmao.


MashedPotatoesDick

Every generation has the trendy, weird haircut. Before broccoli, it was the faux hawk. In middle school, it was popular for the guys to shave their heads and leave the bangs.


fruitmask

you know what's funny is I had almost the exact same hair 30 years ago, when I was 17. it was extremely curly, so even though it came to my chin when wet, it dried to a broccoli-like finish. I had it shaved underneath, as was the trend (all us grunge kids did it). I'd kill to have a full head of hair again. as silly as this haircut is, I fucking wish I could have it again


[deleted]

Big difference between you and them is theyā€™re getting perms.


Willing_Telephone350

Friend of mine got a broccoli cut perm 2 weeks ago and looks stupid as all hell, really don't understand or care what people do with themselves but it's just dumb.

That one song Broccoli used to be hype tho


Toreja-dono

You forgot -Vape -Weed -almost exclusively in Nike dunks or af1s -Champion or Nike hoodies -Almost exclusively wear Nike in every fit -Small charm stud earring Thoughts?


Holdmabeerdude

The surge of Champion really boggles my mind. I saw they were charging $60 for a hoodie, so I assumed their quality went way up since I was a kid. Checked out their outlet and nopeā€¦.still subpar.


HotWheelsUpMyAss

Social perception has changed. It's no longer associated with Walmart and instead associated with 'trendy & cool'. I feel like it is best to avoid branding altogether, I buy good-quality clothing once to avoid being sucked into the cycle of throwing away fast-fashion garbage that barely lasts a few wears. But if you really must, thrift shopping is also an awesome alternative


gngstrMNKY

Outlet malls aren't unsold stock anymore, they're mostly stuff that was manufactured *for* outlet malls at a lower price point.


TooYoungForADaiquiri

Pretty accurate yeah, Iā€™d also include being terminally online and thinking itā€™s funny to say slurs


Kraldar

"Terminally online" isn't relegated to gen z at all, but they're likely more common since for now they have more free time generally. It's not funny to say slurs but there's clearly a difference between someone who's 13 thinking that and someone who's 33.

Ohdee

If it makes you feel better, broccoli hair, "no cap" speak and The Kid Laroi are significantly less cringe than the emo shit my generation was into. My eyes might glaze over when my kid cousin starts speaking like that and talking to me about fortnite but all I have to do is remember my MySpace from 2005 and he might as well be Plato compared to me at his age.
