God, I remember the 00s era with that haircut being so popular.
I only remember Covid era when this was popular again
During covid, I didn’t get a haircut for close to 2 years… Now I keep the long hair cuz I dig it
I tried, but I couldn’t stand the way that I looked, so after about 4 months, I watched a bunch of YouTube videos on how to cut hair, and then cut my own. From the front it looked at least as good as the barber does, but the back was FUBAR.
Nihilism surged in the western zeitgeist during this time period. Anti-corporate messaging of the punk and grunge movements from the 90s were still going strong, and then anti-military sentiment became renewed as well due to war in the middle east and terrorist attacks in western countries happening at increased frequency. Any time we see public opinion start to turn against western military action, you’ll see long hair and facial hair in men’s fashion become popular because it is explicitly not allowed in the military. It’s another form of subtle anit-military messaging in the media.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
