    Teenagers have had broccoli hair for the past 5 years. It’s boring. Invent a new fad already, I want a new thing to make fun of

          I’m bad at faces, but he reminds me of a combination of Mike Birbiglia, Seann William Scott, and Anders Holm. (I had to look up two of those names.)

        I’ve seen that format and keep wondering who that guy is. But I lack terms to look it up and then I forget.

        Who’s that?

          The other commenter in this thread theoretically answered your question. I’m not familiar with the character, so while they’re probably correct, I can’t make any observations on it. I only know him as the “You guys are getting X?” meme guy.

          I think your original question suggests you are familiar with the meme, but just in case I misinterpreted, here’s a random example.

          Insufficient sleep meme demonstrating you guys are getting X guy

    What’s wrong with that haircut? It’s neat and looks good and ladies like it. That broccoli cut is just atrocious.

    When I was a kid it was the bowl cut, now that’s a travesty. The haircut in the picture is nice

    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.

    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.

        I hear it’s better to burn out than to fade away. I think that’s the anthem of 2025 America.

        This was the time when rock stars wore heavy makeup, painted their nails, had long lucious curly hair wore pants that cut off circulation

        Nobody said they were “gay” or “trans”, they were just rock and fucking roll and whatever they wanted

          I’m sorry but this is erasure of the very real homophobia these glam metal bands experienced as part of later backlash.

          And the guys in Skid Row tell of going out in public in the late eighties with “their hair stacked to the sky” and fighting with rednecks who called them removeds (Konow 296). While I never had to duke it out with anyone because of my long hair (the extent of my glam look), I did have similar experiences in the real world. Once, when with my mom at Huntington House, a now-defunct furniture store, a female sales clerk came up behind us and asked, “Can I help you ladies?” And on another occasion, when looking at clothes at Joslins in the Westminster Mall, a woman approached me from behind while remarking, “What do we have here? A lady looking at men’s pants!”
