I think it’s one of those things that youth do specifically because it’s youth coded. A lot of older people think it looks dumb, so they won’t do it themselves. And if anybody over 25 did it, it would look even dumber because of the pathetic attempt to look “hip”. I know when I was a kid I didn’t want to look like adults and thought it was weird if adults tried to look like me.
On the girls’ end, holy shit the Alysa Liu bleach stripes are everywhere now. That’s another one that would look ridiculous and sad if tried during middle age.
Oh, it doesn’t mean they won’t look back on it with “blunder years” self amusement. It’s the frosted tips, peroxide blonde, white dude cornrows, bowl cut, skater hair, mullet, Beatles bob of Gen A. Every generation get one.
i get economic necessity (my wife has been buzzcutting my skull every other week for idk how long because free. also fun and intimate.) but fashion bowl cuts?
I can’t for the life of me understand the appeal behind the broccoli haircut. It’s so fucking ugly.

It looks stupid regardless of age. There’s a ton of cringing at younger self ideas later on

it’s a stage look. not a walking around look.
That Alysa Liu hair just looks like 00’s raccoon hair.
Teens “rebel”. Hair is one of the few things they have agency over. That you dont like it is an added bonus.
I personally don’t care, but will fake outrage so to not break the social contract
bowl cuts are so much worse.
I honestly feel bad for the poor kids whose parents subject them to it!

You’re implying straightened emo hair or spiked frosted tips and jnco jeans were a timeless look?
No, I didn’t. Where did I imply such a thing?
You said you can’t understand the appeal of youths having stupid haircuts when we did the exact same thing in our day.
I was asking about this specific haircut which I find ugly, not stupid haircuts in general. I’m Gen Z myself.
