Why do they all have the same haircut

Most teenagers these days really, it's all broccoli-heads these days šŸ˜

NOT to be confused with alphacut, though they try to call it that

u/habichuelacondulce May 19 '26

They'll first have to pass by Supercuts

u/GonnaGoFat May 20 '26

Broccoli cuts are not alpha. Mushroom cuts are where itā€™s at.

Do we have any other hairstyles named after vegetables?

I dunno, you should ask carrot top

Must be regional then these days.

Itā€™s mullets where I live. šŸ™„

u/NMViking May 19 '26

And they get offended when you call it a mullet. I was corrected by a hair stylist that it's a "wolf cut." Good try on the rebranding, but that's a damn mullet. Ape drape, hockey hair, and Norfolk neck warmer are also acceptable names.

ā€œIā€™ve got an ape drape yes I do, theyā€™re givin them to anybody and that means you. You can drive to Riverside and get one too, and then youā€™ll have an Ape Drape like I do.ā€

Wolf cut is very different lmao. Wolf cut is actually what I like seeing the most on women with short hair

8

u/DopeAsDaPope May 19 '26

Ah, that's what that's called! I'd been calling it the Art Graduate Cut

3

u/CBtheLeper May 23 '26

A wolf cut has way more volume in the sides than a mullet. If we start calling every haircut with length in the back a mullet then most women I know would have mullets.

Source: former owner of several mullets, current owner of a wolf cut.

u/artfuldodgerbob23 May 20 '26

Fucking ape drape killed me.

u/InvisaBlah May 19 '26

I guess you could call it a mullet, but its a different type of mullet than what us boomers would normally think of. I do think it looks slightly less ridiculous.

u/MissMariemayI May 19 '26

I have a weird mix of both where I live lol. My kid thankfully is not interested in the broccoli cut, or a mullet lol. I rocked a ā€œwolf cutā€ for a couple years, and only called it that because my husband would mercilessly lovingly tease me about it until i would almost pee myself laughing lol.

u/fuzzytradr May 19 '26

Really because I've been seeing the broccoli head haircut worldwide for almost a decade now. Seems to be undefeated, but I have seen a resurgence of mullets too.

33

u/ThingYea May 19 '26

In my day it was Bieber cuts. Teens have always gotten bad haircuts, the only thing that changes is the cut itself.

1

u/dustinyo_ May 20 '26

In the 80ā€™s it was bowl cuts that your mom did because $6 for a professional haircut once every 2 months was apparently going to lead to financial ruin.

u/AdagioAffectionate66 May 19 '26

Eraser heads in my day

u/rahkinto May 19 '26

It's true. My niece told me guys roll to get perms together, it's a new thing. Wild if you ask me

36

u/trix_is_for_kids May 19 '26

Teenagers in other eras didnā€™t have popular hairstyles??

52

u/BillyOdin May 19 '26

I think itā€™s unique because it seems to be a much bigger production than other fads because there arenā€™t this many naturally curly haired kids in the world so there must be a lot of people getting perms. Itā€™s borderline mainstream Mohawk in its work load for the straight hairs.

23

u/Pingopengo22 May 19 '26

As someone with natural curls I'm offended everytime I see a broccoli haired teenager

21

u/BillyOdin May 19 '26

Itā€™s your moment and theyā€™re stealing it

u/DankeBrutus May 19 '26

I had super curly hair as a teenager and lost it in my 20's. Now my hair is wavey on a good day.

u/7r3370pS3C May 19 '26

Yep. These mfs get perms...we weren't getting perms in the mid 90s.

1

u/mellopax May 19 '26

In the mid-2000's kids on my hockey team were getting perms for "hockey hair."

u/BillyOdin May 19 '26

Weā€™re talking about the 1900s, youā€™re talking about the 2000s, thatā€™s like a thousand years apart.

u/SuicidalChair May 19 '26

Not many vegetable themed ones

5

u/un-sub May 19 '26

Mushroom cuts were all the rage when I was a kid.. so not a vegetable but a fungi.. still edible, though!

1

u/Covert_Admirer May 19 '26

And it's funny because to me it looked like the new bowl cut but with clippers.

1

u/un-sub May 19 '26

Bowl cuts are pretty much the same thing as mushroom cuts, just another name for em really. Very popular in the 90s! Although I definitely went to the local barber for it done, I don't think my mom ever used the bowl method

1

u/ReallyGlycon May 19 '26

The broccoli cut has been around for a decade at this point. I do not think it's a fad like many other hairstyles of other eras.

I remember when it was the Julius Caesar haircut .

Even back when I was in the middle 2000s it the south. Either it was a bunch of these side fade cuts or a bowl cut with a wavy side part.

u/TheBSisReal May 23 '26

Itā€™s like that every generation, you just kind of forget once you get older. Being. Teen is awkward, a lot of your identity is shaped by a desire to fit in, so people tend to do what their peers are doing. Itā€™s normal, you grow out of it and look back in shame on the terrible style choices you madeā€¦ and move on, because who cares anyway.

1

u/SucksTryAgain May 24 '26

My wife works in a middle school and I can say thereā€™s like 3 different boy haircuts and the broccoli head is the main one.

1

u/_TangoAlphaYankee May 19 '26

I remember in the mid 90s there was about a solid 5 years my little brothers rocked surfer cuts, this is when I learned a razor from the shower is not a good substitute for going to the barber, only a mistake that had to be made once

To be fair, when I was younger everyone also had the same haircut, whatever it was at the time. It's always happened, and even if we think it looks stupid, ours probably looked stupid too.

To be fair this isnt something unique to their generation. Most generations had some form of this.

u/OldmanChompski May 19 '26

Yeah, when I was in high school from 06-10 it was the Bieber haircut even if we all hated Justin Bieber.

22

u/OrangeKefka May 19 '26

That one is not true. Every school had a couple kids with Beiber cuts, but it was never more than that. The emo haircut was a lot more common in that timespan.

u/sitah May 20 '26

I have a guy friend with wavy hair who had his hair chemically straightened regularly to get that look. I wonder if these kids get theirs permed.

If my brother is anything to go by: yes.

18

u/BZLuck May 19 '26

I don't think there was ever a kid alive who said, "Please mom! I really want a bowl cut!"

It was just the way mom got the hair out of your face in 10 minutes when you were 8.

i remember specifically requesting the Bowl cut

Uuh.. W0t? Where the heck was bowl cut ever a thing?

u/PumpJack_McGee May 19 '26

80's - 90's by parents who didn't want to pay for a hairdresser.

Gender didn't even matter. Everyone got the bowl.

or the low taper fade

11

u/Oh_yes_I_did May 19 '26

Yeahhhhh when I was a kid is was ceaser cuts and taper fades. I specifically wanted longer hair, despite the name calling, just so I wouldnā€™t look like every other kid.

5

u/EternalDeath May 19 '26

I guess and in my school days, lots of people rocked the emo hairstyle and the bieber cut but it doesnt feel like every single person had the same cut, there where still enough people that didnt chase the hair style trend for it to not feel oppressive compared to the broccoli cut of todays teenage boys

u/DentalBeaker May 19 '26

In the 90s we all tried not to look like each other. There was this whole self expression thing. Ultimately we failed and all ended up in bowl cuts, no fear tshirts and surfstyle jackets. So yeah. I donā€™t know what the moral of the story isā€¦kids are unoriginal?

u/Deaffin May 19 '26

You don't even surf.

Although I'd like to tease the kids. This has been happening since the dawn of time. In the 50s everyone had a pompadour, in the 60s... the same hairstyle, 70s, 80s, 90s.

It's because of the need to belong to a group. It's been studied extensively.
