I'm in this pic and I don't like it.
we are all just sentient cans of baked beans
Reddit studies have shown the vast majority of users are GenZ males. And from many of the conversations I've had on Lemmy, it certainly seems like most users are on the younger side. And from my perspective as an older millennial, every GenZ male has the same stupid haircut.
Really? I thought everyone here was a mid 40s IT guy.
It is amazing how that style took off. Its not good. No different than our hairstyles of old though if you think about it.
It wasn't called "the broccoli haircut" then, but it reminds me a lot of some haircuts from around 1990-ish, and WP says that that it's just a revival of some 1980s/1990s styles (though none of the WP examples look that close to the broccoli haircut to me, or quite like what I'm thinking of). I don't find it objectionable. It feels a little disconcerting to see so many people that look like they're out of the 1980s running around all of a sudden, I suppose.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broccoli_haircut
During the early and mid 2010s, the permed undercuts of the 1980s and 1990s underwent a revival.[10] The trend was inspired by hairstyles popular during the New Romantic movement of the 1980s, such as mullets and shags.[6] By 2018, possibly having been popularized by rapper Little T (Joshua Tate), the hairstyle had gained recognition in the UK as the "Meet me at McDonald's haircut".[2] The hairstyle achieved media exposure after a school in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk banned pupils from possessing the style.[11][12]
During the COVID-19 lockdowns of the early 2020s, many younger Gen Z boys in the UK and United States experimented with new hairstyles at home before the barbers reopened. In 2020, Dillon Latham, a then-15-year-old TikToker, posted a clip of himself getting a perm in the style of the broccoli haircut, which prompted its early spread among teenage and tween boys. It soon became more a trend in 2021 after being worn by TikTokers such as Noah Beck, Bryce Hall, Harry Jowsey, and Jack Doherty.[5][4] That same year, it became an Internet meme and a subject of scorn online, beginning with a 4chan thread that coined the phrase "Zoomer perm" to describe it.[13]
The broccoli haircut was especially popular by 2022 and gained further attention online in 2024 when a photo of American actor David Corenswet on the set of James Gunn's 2025 film Superman showed him with what many online described as a broccoli haircut, which was mocked by social media users.[6] GQ's Alex Nino Gheciu argued that the broccoli haircut had reached its peak by 2024.[5] Also in 2024, Marie Claire's Samantha Holender called the haircut "the TikTok tween boy hallmark".[4]
Every generation has their "bi-level" haircut. From the bowl-cut to the faux hawk to the long bangs/short sides emo "swoop"--all the way to this, the 20s broccoli. There's also sometimes the mullet they try to pass off as a "wolf cut." Sure, kid.
This is funny but I'm surprised Mint is at the bottom.
I guess I shouldn't be. I didn't really notice how popular it's gotten. I'm used to thinking of it as a cooler Ubuntu.
It is cooler.
Its just popular and easy now ha
Would Bazzite users just be wearing flip flops?

Damn. I need to play that game again. Loved it as a kid.

Not fair. I cut my hair last month
Solid.
I swear the artist used Tom Cruise's face as inspiration.

This movie is responsible for many boys' both sexual awakening, and the necessity for therapy later in life.
This, but with much longer hair, twice as scruffy, and haven't shaved in a week.
