I'm sure top will look cringe (or whatever the new word for it will be) in 20 years too.

[–] IndefiniteBen@leminal.space 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Are you implying that bowl cuts weren't cringe 20 years ago? The top will at least be in style when they are wearing it.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Um. Bowl cuts are in style NOW. Have you not seen those 20-something TikTok guys who are so sure they’re the most attractive person in the world? Bowl cuts.

And bowl cuts weren’t cringe in the 90s. Hence why we all had them. It was an accepted style of the time, and because the most horrible styles of the 90s are suddenly on trend again, they’re not cringe now—according to general consensus and fashion. It’s all relative. You or I can look back at our bowl cuts and think they look terrible, but they didn’t have the same context when they were on our heads back then. And they don’t for the people who got that haircut now.

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

As someone who was a kid through the 90s, we made fun of the kids with bowl cuts. They were cringe then.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Are you sure you’re not dealing with false memories here? We were kids. Sure, after we all lost the bowl cuts and became adolescents, we made fun of/were embarrassed of the haircuts we used to have.

But no one at all in my life ever even discussed our haircuts until we were old enough to want to be someone else. Or maybe you’re younger than I am and I lost my bowl cut with the times and some kids had them stick around through when you were a kid.

But there was zero discussion of them until we didn’t have them anymore in anyone i ever knew. But we all definitely had them as young kids.

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

I explicitly remember making fun of Matt for his haircut in grade 6, which was 2001. I still consider that being a kid.

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

It's already cringe m8

[–] NoStressyJessie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I’m putting it out there now, cringe will continue to evolve and the feeling will get elaborated and exaggerated until the new version of cringe will basically be imploding into yourself like a black hole or being spaghettified.

[–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 10 points 9 months ago

I used to be cringe, but then they changed what cringe was. Now I'm not cringe anymore and what is cringe seems weird and scary. based af

What do we call that one?

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Bowl cut? No...mushroom cut...

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago

The medical term is "circumcised"

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 16 points 9 months ago

Both are ugly

[–] teejay@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Folks in this thread be like "Both haircuts are trash."

ITT: Both haircuts are trash

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Found the guy with one of these haircuts

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hair cut AND face paint. Half that kids hair is drawn on.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Easier and more hygienic, bald kids with paint and a wig.

Sounds like something from the Mycogen district (foundation series).

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Top one will only last 1.5 days before needing the next haircut.

[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah who the fuck thought fading above the fade line was a good idea?

[–] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 5 points 9 months ago

Luckily for you it's popular now to have bowl cuts nowadays. Too many teens doing that where I live

Came to say this. Fucking 8yo looking like the least talented member of a boy band..

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

More like a Tunisian immigrant who sells weed

[–] kool_newt@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Definitely drives a Tesla

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 9 months ago

Top one looks like it's from a Turkish barbers, but they photoshopped a kids face onto it because nobody would believe that Ronaldo had been there.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

No kid needs a haircut like the upper one unless they’re modeling for something. Pretty good chance the kid and/or parents are self-entitled douchenozzles. The shroomcut kid gets a pass, can’t take that seriously.

[–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 23 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

"Why is everyone on Lemmy so judgemental?"

Also people on Lemmy: makes up an entire hypothetical scenario about a literal child and their parents that they know nothing about and judges them for it.

[–] Trollception@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I liked all the posts about how reddit and lemmy are so different. When in fact they seem to be more or less exactly the same.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Fun! yes now let's make up an entire hypothetical scenario about RememberTheApollo_

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Sorry but both look dogshit

[–] jadedwench@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

As a women I don't get much say in it, but we could never afford haircuts growing up so dad and I cut each other's hair, but I wasn't given much choice. The top one looks like someone tried to make a little kid into an adult, but on the other hand, if he wanted it that way, why judge? Especially if it helps their self esteem.

I am a huge proponent of letting kids choose their own style and express themselves, even if we think it looks bad. I knew a lot of kids growing up with bowl cuts, snazzy buzz cuts, and just generic "insert male haircut here". It is just hair. It grows back. There is always going to be a little extra to unpack once you get their peers involved, but that is another lesson entirely (body image, unhealthy expectations, etc).

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I remember getting a buzz cut when I was 8 or 9 in the 80s and thinking I looked so rad.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

You could've teamed up with the kid with the bowl cut to have 2/3 of the Three Stooges.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 9 months ago

My mom forced buzz cuts on me.

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

I've seen a lot of young kids with bowl cuts, mullets, like whatever the goofiest 80-90s hair cuts. They dig that shit, it's rad.

[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Widows Peak lineups look dumb as fuck and I'll die on his hill.

[–] lightrush@lemmy.ca 0 points 9 months ago

It never was "bowl cut."

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

One of the things I like about the younger generation is they brought back the mullet, updated it, and it actually looks pretty damn cool.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

And wanted to distract from how ugly her kid was? Pro move mom
