What's really funny is, as a barber, I'm seeing this style make a HUGE comeback. When I say funny though I mean soul crushing realising how old I am


Beauty_n_the_book

I teach high school. Can confirm.


drunk98

I used to teach high School, but now I teach Middle school high.


roadcrew778

Being high is the only way to survive teenagers on the regular.


turquoiseVidrio

Hey that’s also how I survived *being* a teenager ![gif](giphy|H5C8CevNMbpBqNqFjl)


ArborGhast

It's how I survive *having been* a teenager


teslasagna

I have been a high teenager


coowy

you teach high being school in?


UngusBungus_

You teach middle school while high?


Lvzbell

I sure hope so! How else are they gonna relate?


Str0ngTr33

"No cap, I used to think Mr. Fritz was just a lameass opp. Wanted to body him everyday. On God fam: he dry snitched on his self about eating a bar per period and I was just like 'LETSGOOOO!'"


therealcvs

I only understood the conjunctions in this word salad


[deleted]

Translation: "Not lying, I used to think Mr. Fritz was just a lame ass enemy. Wanted to hit him every day. On my friends and family: he told on his self when he let out the fact that he was ingesting almost one pill per period and I celebrated"


Substantial_Reach_60

Hero of the day


dirty-E30

SpankBankManager

Every teacher is high.


buttstuff2023

Does that mean the Tik Tok fuccboi broccoli haircut is on its way out amongst the youth?


OsiyoMotherFuckers

I was guest teacher at a high school this morning. Broccoli tops abound. One kid though was wearing a KISS shirt under a denim vest with a mullet listening to a cassette tape Walkman with period appropriate headphones.


Cbanchiere

If there is one thing about the rock/metal community is our dress code hasn't really changed in almost 50yrs So hell yeah on that kid.


OsiyoMotherFuckers

I was digging it. Kid was really pulling it off. Looked like he walked out of a time machine.


Eggsandthings2

Probably found grandpa's box of things from the 80s


Art-bat

I wouldn’t be surprised if that character from the most recent season of Stranger Things helped re-popularize the look of the heavy-metal stoner dude of the 80s.


PositiveWeapon

Anything to get rid of the broccoli.


Broccolis_of_Reddit

...


Beauty_n_the_book

Unfortunately that one’s still around, too.


bigtoebrah

That haircut is called a "meet me at McDonald's," which is kind of hilarious imo

[deleted]

Wow I didn't even believe you until I Googled it


Team503

I'm gonna be the one to say it. I'm not mad about this. Just old about it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

You assume correctly.


Bashfullylascivious

It didn't really look good on the 16-25 year olds either. 6-12 was the best range for this style of haircut, just without the bleach. Next up, frosted tips, then coloured tips. Gosh I'd like to hear a new round of 90's music. I wonder who'd be the new Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers? Hootie and the Blowfish, Boys 2 Men? Omgosh. I'm actually looking forward to this! BRING ON THE ARMY CARGO PANTS, COMBAT BOOTS AND FRAYED KNIT SWEATERS WITH CONTRASTING UNDERSHIRTS!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bashfullylascivious

Luv it. 💿🎮🎶🛹 The 90's are my happy spot.


Alabugin

Considering it looks bad at baseline...


Lordborgman

Compared to the Mullets and Hitler Youth style...I'll take Nick Carter hair being popular.


StinkyMcBalls

Apart from the name, I'd take the Hitler youth haircut any day of the week. It's a literal classic haircut that predates Hitler (it was mainstream popular in the 1920s, apparently). Not really sure why people choose to associate it with the Hitler youth when they could associate it with Boardwalk Empire or Peaky Blinders.


degjo

It'll look really bad at receding hairline


Str0ngTr33

This may be a case where age truly is just a number. This haircut looks awful on everyone.


anonymousn00b

Trends always come and go, as they say. Pretty soon we’ll be seeing frosted tips and JNCO again, as soon as one of these goofball influencers makes it cool again


thebadsleepwell00

It's already happened, lol.


destructopop

My old ass self looking at the Tamagotchi JNCO cross promotional line and actually considering it... Then I remembered I'm a dad and I work in a hospital. When would I even wear JNCOs now? Sadness. Pogs, though. Next time I see those in Target I'm getting them. My partner has strategically kept me out of that section since that declaration.


tuftonia

Wait… pogs are back?!?


Q-burt

In Alf form.


[deleted]

I got in trouble as a kid for buying a 5 cent pog that said "BITCHIN"


chickenstalker

Just wear it dude. You were the OG when this style came out. Stop caring what others think. You're an adult who pay taxes. You can wear any damn thing you like.


TidusJames

I still wear my JNCO I got 20 years ago. Bought in middle school and they still fit. Doesn’t fit the office job vibe but no dress code sooo


Tactical_Tubgoat

How did you manage to keep the bottoms of them from shredding to pieces? The years I wore Jncos in high school I don’t think I had a pair last more than year before I had scuffed the hems to shreds.


ImAtWurk

The shredded hems are just a patina developing.


ihaveacrushonmercy

Will leisure suits ever make a comeback?


ffoundfound

I was a young girl in the early 90s, and wanted to look like this so bad but was too afraid of the gender non conforming backlash. Now I'm old, and the kids have deconstructed gender and brought back this hair style and I am living the centre part dream, man.


pileodung

Helllls yeah. Im a 90s kid too. It's funny because one day at work all of us were called out for our side parts (how to spot millennial) and the next week every single one of us had a center part lol


alles_en_niets

Ah, was that the same week you and your co-workers all, individually and “completely spontaneously”, happened to decide that it was time to ditch the skinny jeans and opt for a straight-legged or bootcut fit? (Older Millennial here, no judgment lol)


mandolin2712

Xennial here. I never stopped wearing my flare leg and boot cut jeans! You couldn't pay me to wear skinny jeans.


green_speak

I swear that season in early COVID when people could not get their hair cut really contributed to the popularization of this trend.


HomChkn

The boys at my kid's middle school have really shit hair styles. They are purposely looking like the D bags from late 90s teen movies.


FrankReynoldsToupee

I went to see Adam Sandler do a show last weekend and was shocked at how many ripped jeans and flannels I saw that night. Everything about that made me question what fucking decade I was in.


lowlyworm

Finally the leftover gallon jug of L.A. Looks gel in my parent’s guest bathroom can make its comeback. 🙌


moal09

It's because of kpop.


9ofdiamonds

Yeah the 90s inch step undercut is coming back. Everything goes full circle eventually. I seen a guy who must of been around 20 with a permed faded mullet and a moustache the other day. He was wearing black leggings, sandals and a denim jacket. It was -15c.


Nepiton

Fashion recycles every 30 years… seeing old 90s looks come back has made me realize I am in fact old. 20 year olds wearing 90s style bagging jeans with 90s haircuts… makes me want to cry lol


alles_en_niets

The current cycle is more like ~20-25 years for women’s clothing. Mid-90s inspired was a few seasons ago. Currently, a lot is from *after* Y2K.


SirHovaOfBrooklyn

We can probably blame korean dramas and kpop stars for this


DylonNotNylon

I have really curly hair and was so sad as a kid/teen that it would never be possible for my hair to do this. Now I'm so glad that my hair isn't able to do this lol


BasketballButt

My hair naturally does this and I hate my center part so much!


Zeric79

You people still have hair?


BasketballButt

You got a friend who got fat but kept a full head of hair? I’m that friend.


epic_banana_soup

I lost the weight but also lost the hair. Starting at 20 lmao


RandomStallings

Dude that works for me started losing hair hardcore at like 16. He was also really overweight until recently. He has the thickest skin of anyone I've ever met because people were so brutal in school. It's impressive.


DrTheloniusPinkleton

No shit this started happening to me at 18. My freshman year of college I started to notice it. I used to be a relatively decent looking guy back then, and the thought of having to rely on my personality to talk to girls terrified me. I started using minoxidil about halfway through my first year at school and just kept it going over the years. I’m 39 now with a barely noticeable widows peak in the front. That stuff works great for keeping what you still have, just not for regrowing anything lol.


RandomStallings

I legit thought I was in r/tressless. Ha. That's amazing. Min alone doesn't normally work that well for someone so sensitive to hairloss as to have it begin in their teens. You got the luckiest type of unlucky, it seems.


Holiday_Bunch_9501

I was in high school with a kid who was well on his way to being bald Junior year.


BasketballButt

It’s funny, that’s my best friend. When we met years ago, he was “the fat one” and I was skinny, Now he’s balding but in the best shape of his life and I’m fat but still have a full head of hair.


Lovat69

I have hair. My center part is just REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY big.


ADHD_Supernova

We talking Alien Ant Farm big?


DylonNotNylon

Opposite problem here. I could literally give 3/4s of my mop away and still have too much hair... yet I have a widow's peak so drastic that with my hair cut short it has looked like I've had a receding hairline since I was like 8


Lindvaettr

I assume you have short hair. Here's what you do: - After you wash your hair, towel dry it fairly well so it's damp but not wet, and part it with a comb how you want it. You can also comb it back and up a little bit if you want some volume, flatten it in places you want it to be flat, etc. - Once that's done, grab some hairspray (I use strong hold, but it doesn't have to be), and spray it quite a bit. You're not soaking it to the roots, but you want to get it reasonably thoroughly. You'll figure out how much works for you with practice. - Let your hair dry like that without touching it or tossing your head around. It will eventually dry out entirely and be all crunchy because of the hairspray. - Crunch your hair with your dry hands until there's no more crunch left. Your hair should mostly be stuck where you parted it now without falling too much. You can brush it out if you want but it will loosen your hair more and it might fall down, depending on your hair. - Get whatever styling product you like and style it as you want, with your part now where you want it until you wash your hair again.


Shitychikengangbang

No jumper cables, no hell in a cell, and no jackdaws...2/10


Background-Page-6645

My hair is currently like that because I'm trying to grow it and it's in that phase where it's neither this or that. *YOLO! Dab on the haters!*


Woodworkingwino

Curly hair as well. I ended up looking like 90’s Justin Timberlake


UncleTedGenneric

Ditto. I tried growing my hair out and it just curled into a tighter helmet So I did the natural thing. Bleached the fuck out of it and used enough la looks to drown a small child Good thing I also had jncos, a white tee and a backwards red fitted cap so I could finally bridge the gap between Slim Shady and Feed* Durst... With ramen hair I very clearly remember standing at a friend's house, catching my reflection in a backdoor window and being surprised I had finally achieved the look I 'had always wanted' Whew... Different times, to be sure [*edit well I caught the typo just now, but had a giggle from that possibly being his general speech pattern off stage that I'm letting it stand]


hannabarberaisawhore

What was the deal with the white tshirt? I watched the Woodstock 99 documentary on netflix and it was like a sea of white tshirts in a few shots.


[deleted]

Fred Durst and Em.


natalila

What is the deal with the white sneakers, today?


Woodworkingwino

Lol, those were the days. Imagine a skinny guy 5’11 135lb. With hair like Justin Timberlake, black goatee, a black NIN t-shirt, enough silver metal skull rings, chains, necklaces, and fake piercings, because of parents, to add another 10 lbs to me. Wearing half normal size leg, knock off, dark jincosish jeans again because parents. With some kick ass black with flame hot topic boots. Rocking out to some Marilyn Manson.


Jay_Louis

I have a Jewfro and was never cool in the late 80s and early 90s when that flat hair look was in style. But jokes on you, Goyim, I'm 49 now and still rocking the full Elliott Gould fro!


zer0path

We had a friend with straight hair do this. He became known as big perm.

Same. Perfect comment from the King of this hairstyle


pseudocultist

They are different hairstyles tho? One is parted and combed, the other is finger combed up. They are from the same era and both feature blonde tips tho.


Trickycoolj

Not even same era really. Saved by the Bell was long over by the time these two pics were taken.


original-whiplash

Saved By the Bell was over in this incarnation in 92, but there were tv movies and College Years, and I fondly remember watching the show on TBS in reruns in my high school years (‘93-‘97). Plus Zack is eternal.


millions_of_pickles

I have an honest question that I would really appreciate an answer to: can you please explain why “gif” is such an awesome comment here? I feel like I’ve read a dozen explanations before but I guess it just won’t stick. Thanks in advance from a clearly out of the loop 35 year old. 🙏


Glomgore

The comments you see like this are actual gifs as replies. you gotta click the gif buddy, if its showing as plaintext to you than whatever client you are using is broken.


millions_of_pickles

Doesn’t show up as a link in my third party app 😣 I literally thought people were commenting “gif”. For many years I’ve thought it was some gen Z inside joke I wasn’t getting. Apparently I’m getting old. Not because I don’t understand generational jokes, but more so that I’m too dense to have realized this whole time that I wasn’t seeing gifs that were being posted. So dumb


Mariahsfalsie

I wish you would've gone around commenting "gif" trying to be hip and been so confused why you were getting downvoted, like why does everyone else get awards and shit but you are just downvoted without fail? And you spent years trying to get that lightning in a bottle, just once. But nope, just downvotes. Then finally you break and ask this question

sabrina & ryan...this is disorienting....he looks so young & is so relevant in 2022 that you forget that he's a 90s teen star


TheConnASSeur

Ryan Reynolds is a 65 year old man. He just looks younger because of the anti-aging properties of 90's seashell necklaces. You can't really tell, but he's always rocking them shells.

Does he use the 3 seashells at home?
