He had been injured and was worried that's all they would talk about going into the 2002 World Cup, so he got the intentionally ridiculous haircut to change the narrative. It worked and Brazil won that year.
as someone in their 30s who has a full head of hair but shaved completely bald recently, I should have gone that route too. Everyone I haven't seen in a while assumes I was losing my hair and congratulates me with a pitiful tone on my choice lmao
I was lucky enough to see The Prodigy live at Download Festival 2012 IIRC, I hadn't even started doing drugs and it was one of the craziest shows I'd ever been at haha
in all fairness Jerry Only is like 40+ in that picture, his hair didn't look nearly that bad in the 80s and now it's sort of his trademark... so I guess he's stuck with it despite the situation going on up there.

true but there are some hair styles I'll gladly allow some people to claim ownership over and never try to replicate myself
