    At some point kids want agency, and hair is an accessible “medium” Youths will always show “rebellion” with hairstyles and clothes.

    I will even fake outrage so not to spoil the fun

      I never considered that being outraged as an adult was actually half of that contract. Im gonna have to practise the old man fist shake

        Thanks for the link that is really fascinating, though I also want to acknowledge that I feel almost crazy if this is a prevalent thing and I haven’t noticed?

        I’d be kinda pleased if it were largely a rejection of performative positivity, one of the theories presented. I think we could all stand to be a bit more honest with each other about how things are going. Actually I think it’s probably necessary, if we’re ever going to meaningfully change.

        I do worry about the ways the COVID pandemic (another theory) interrupted social development for an enormous number of kids, just huge. Though to be clear I was in favor of pretty strict, sweeping measures to limit spread, and don’t feel differently today.

        I bristled a bit at first, on the mention of “quiet quitting” - AKA behaving perfectly rationally, given the available opportunities and treatment today, by my measure. But the (still Wikipedia) article it links to is a solid overview of a collective action tactic, so hell yeah.

        e: can’t help but elaborate sometimes

        This isn’t really the gen Z stare, I’d describe that as a very neutral expression.

        Honestly I don’t actually think the Gen Z stare has much to do with the internet or COVID either, as much as it’s just something that caught on among people in school. I think another large element is that Gen Z culturally a lot less judgemental of people who don’t mask autistic traits.

        The general nodding and 'mmhmm’ing we do to affirm we’re paying attention is something that’s effectively a social contract, although useful. The flip side of the Gen Z stare that people don’t talk about is that Gen Z also don’t mind recieving the Gen Z stare, and can converse through it.

    He looks like a punk girl I once knew and for that reason, I don’t have an issue with this haircut. Yeah it’s kinda silly but bullying kids because they enjoy silly things is cruel.

        I like their music and i was completely devastated when i found out they are zionists. Just commenting so other people also know. Psytrance kinds developed as music for peace and a lot of artists, including one of the members of infected mushroom, have trauma from the israeli military.

    Is there a “fuckmyshitup” section on Lemmy? This belongs exactly there.

      I really want to know what it looks like when it’s not all done up… like at least a Karen cut with a band goes to being an ok style when it’s down… I imagine this looks fucking horrible after a shower…

    The barber is Bohdan Vasylkov, based in Warsaw, Poland. This one in particular is posted on his Instagram as a “Neo-Saiyan Cut.”

    Honestly, this is probably one of the least offensive ones lmao.

      He’s actually doing some really new and interesting things. Probably none of it is going to catch on as a look, but it’s unique.

      Also, a lot of the cuts look interesting because of how he shaves it. A week or two after the cut and it will lose the effect - another reason why none of these will trend.
