Calling it a broccoli haircut is unfair to broccoli...

It's the haircut of Gen Z fuckboys. The scum of the generation, not the generation as a whole

Round our way it is still mullets and Ned Flanders moustaches.

Good for them. I could never pull that off.

The problem with every trendy teenager haircut is that everyone that's not a teenager themselves will associate the hair cut with douchy teenagers, thus ruining it. The issue is never the haircut itself but the associations with it'

I was born in the 70's so i just get violent flashbacks

Cuts kinda like that are cyclical.

I never had that cut, and it came a generation or two after mine, but it looks fine to me.

I'm just glad curly hair is back in the sliding "good hair" window. Every couple generations folks seem to go on a straightening craze, and it's so much more dull and conservative looking.

The broccoli hair of Gen Z and alpha is a revival of the '80s broccoli hair. Ultimately, we are mocking the boomers and Gen X.

I'm only surprised it's the hair that's silly. I thought the standard for intergenerational mockery was leg fashion. And unless you want to get on these kids for treating pajama bottoms like sweatpants... eh.

We had tight-rolled, acid-washed jeans, so much better than sweatpants /s

Look, stupid as JNCOs are, they were intended for outdoor use. Possibly as a tent. That'd explain the size and all the carabiners.

This is definitely one of the more ridiculous and unattractive coifs out there, and it spans generations. Ben Affleck or Alister of Dragon Age anyone?

When it was zoomed out, I thought it was a pillbug

I used to get annoyed at the people cutting my hair when I'd ask for a crew cut, and they'd style it like this. It was everywhere in the late 90's / early 00s, and I was never a fan.
