The Curly Mushroom Haircut: A Symbol of Gen Z’s Unique Uniformity

[@redrum86]

I've heard other people call their haircuts "broccoli tops."

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

ewe🤣

[@littlesnake7318]

Yes, yes thats my favorite. Most generations had their silly haircut and for Gen Z it's broccoli head.

[@SentMyOwnWay]

Never saw a generation so eager to fit in. Every generation has their unique characteristics. Gen Z’s unique characteristic is that there’s nothing unique about them. It’s a paradox.

[@Layne_V.S.O.P]

Well, every generation depends on the previous one to be inspired and to be supported It's the snowball effect, since the boomers you see a continuous degradation

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

everyday I have to talk to them its like a child that needs an adult

[@yungmentalproblems]

On god fr bruh

[@Tamarind525]

Go back on KZbin about a decade or so ago. A lot of teachers started warning us about how weird and unprepared they were, how they couldn’t perform basic life skills (like going to the bathroom by themselves as old as a fifth grader, making eye contact, critical thinking about anything at all). They literally have no ability to discern. It’s like they live in a 2-D world. I hope they grow, but they don’t seem very open to learning, which is something that does call for hard work.

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

they dont want to learn, they come to work for money, but dont want to do anything at all

[@jeffreymassey5541]

MS you got me cracking up. You are right about that haircut. It's WILD. 😁😁

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

no matter who applies that the hair they show up with

[@littlesnake7318]

Broccoli head.

[@hikewithjustin]

Early 2000s was the exact same uniformity. Middle part bowl cut usually dyed blond 😂 There were maybe two or three nerds in my school that didn’t look and dress exactly the same. It was also an upper class school; poor kids were literally not allowed in… The girls all had straight blond hair, low rise Mudd jeans (size 0 or you were a fatty), tight short sleeve shirt and a thong sticking up above the pant line.

And this is the generation that will have to fight WWIII. We haven't got a chance.

[@yungmentalproblems]

As a gen z wtf is wrong with you guys?

[@bandolierboy1908]

@@user-zo1pk7bi2othey are products of the environment the older generations allowed to exist. It's on the parents and elders who created the conditions in which Gen z and alpha grew up

[@JoePublic-f6u]

It's called an alpaca haircut

[@Newshustle]

[@trottfoxx4467]

When you dont invest into the future, this is what you get Brace yourself, competency crisis is comming and if you're scared....you are no scared enough

[@littlesnake7318]

Broccoli heads. My nephew has that silly haircut. My millenial generation was guilty of the stupid emo side sweep too. All generations were guilty of something silly. But Gen Z seems very self-conscious to me and very influenced by social media. One example, my nephew didn't want to wear a t-shirt while swimming in the hot sun because it was "cringe" and he didn't want to be "that guy". He got sunburnt really bad and cried like a baby after. But didn't want to cover up because that's cringe bro. So self-conscious of being "cringe".

[@user-zo1pk7bi2o]

Your nephew will not survive World War 3.

[@Uvu-m7k]

It's a city thing. Where I am in the country we don't have any of these issues. No crime, freaks or any of these problems at all

[@JoePublic-f6u]

No alpaca haircuts either?

[@Uvu-m7k]

@JoePublic-f6u no weird hair peliercings tats graffiti drugs garbage anything like that here in Mayberry for real . Feel real sorry for city folks

[@WanderleiFan1]

Literally see broccoli heads everywhere now days. It's hard not to laugh when I see them.

[@ScottPeterson-ox7gh]

I'm the ultimate prol, I don't go to a barber, I shave my head.

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

Most tech workers cut their own hair

[@richardscathouse]

Before the lockdown, I got an electric dog clipper from Walmart. I still use it 😂

[@1101-f6z]

They're in internet culture, not reality. I think gen X and millennials leaned more into self-expression and creativity. We all had our groups(jocks, nerds, goths,rockers,rap, etc), and those groups have their own expressions. Gen Z just has fewer groups, so it feels like they're mass conforming. What do you think?

[@SoggyDew]

Judgmental much? Every generation has their own characteristics because of the years they were raised in. Gen Z came of age during the pandemic so they will adapt characteristics from that period. Millennials had the same amount of hate in the early 2010s by the older generation. Man bun and the hipster look was created by the Millennials. Gen X had their moment too in the early 2000s with the spiky hair. This phenomena will keep repeating.

[@richardscathouse]

[@SirThanksalott]

[@summerwind4590]

I hate the broccoli 🥦 cut, and I don’t have the hair for one, $20 a year for a new shaver head is my hair budget

[@richardscathouse]

I don't get the tattoos and piercings either... 😢😢

[@phoneticau]

You sound like a Boomer telling young . people get off my lawn 😂

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

I wish it were that easy that hair though must be expensive, I get a hair cut about one time a month sometimes 2 months

[@richardscathouse]

Only the homeless ones. *NoCamping 😢

[@itsme-nt2lj]

2000s was horrid shaved head/military buzz, yuck. Let the kids grow their hair

[@user-zo1pk7bi2o]

[@legoguyver7459]

[@absndus]

😅😅😅😅🤣🤣😅😅😅🤣so funny. I see a lot of broccoli or Mushroom haircut st cru ch fitness.

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

I feel like am at the circus at the gym with dancing 🥦🤣

[@Heraclatian]

This isnt new. Back in the 90s the penis head haircut was everywhere, or the mushroom cut as it was well known. Also were all running a program of some sort. Its impossible to escape. Even if you live in the mountains with Tibetan monks, your running the program of living in the mountains like a monk.

[@JoePublic-f6u]

That's a bowl cut though. Equally stupid

[@Denariusjay]

🥦 Hair is law

[@JoePublic-f6u]

It's weird because they lack common experiences because if the Internet but somehow seem more like NPC than other generations. Generation online.

[@Zuranthus]

ah the broccoli head

[@WestQuinte]

I'll have to listen to this one while I'm shitfaced, it will be better than stand up.

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

drunk steam

[@Maxed2]

Thier probably copying a celebrity thats how these trends usually start .

[@QualityContentComingSoon]

I would do an experiment for conforming, this was back when we had to get clients signing things all the time. They would come in regularly. I would put the date as dd-mm-yy, or dd.mm.yy or dd/mm/yy and see if they follow my lead or they go their own way. It was interesting to see which would copy. Yes my job was extremely boring so I had to create my own experiments to entertain myself.
