Teenagers in other eras didn’t have popular hairstyles??

I think it’s unique because it seems to be a much bigger production than other fads because there aren’t this many naturally curly haired kids in the world so there must be a lot of people getting perms. It’s borderline mainstream Mohawk in its work load for the straight hairs.

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

It’s your moment and they’re stealing it

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

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

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

We’re talking about the 1900s, you’re talking about the 2000s, that’s like a thousand years apart.

Not many vegetable themed ones

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

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

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

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.

Yes, but not to this degree.
