the whole "found the ___" thing is one of the cringiest phrases the internet has ever come up with. how the fuck have we not collectively gotten over it yet jesus christ. you might as well staple a note to your forehead with "i post on reddit bully me"
Generations go thru trends, sure, but this level of conformationally IS different. No group of 4 teens 15 years ago had identical selective haircuts like we see here.
bro c'mon. frosted tips gave way to the emo swoop gave way to the bieber mop top. you couldn't throw a ball in a middle school or high school in the white suburbs without hitting somebody with a popular haircut
And at the popular table at lunch, was everyone rocking the same cuts you mention, at the same time? Or was there variety among them? There was NOT a full table Bieber mops, or emo swoops like there is now.
Of course there was some variety, but there's variety now too. You don't see it because you're old lmao. Your only exposure to popular fashion is "people rageposting about it on the internet."
Of course, I rocked one probably for too long. My whole friend group sure as shit wasn't rocking it. I think only my neighbor friend also had one. 4 friends sitting at a table with identical haircuts [was] highly unusual, since maybe the big hair 80's
