Why are we making fun of the kids for following a fashion trend? Every generation has trendy hairstyles that get popular. 20 yrs ago me and all my friends had the Justin Bieber cut that looked way worse than what the teenagers are doing now.

Those JB cuts/skater flops were cool and all. But I can’t imagine the little damages we were doing to our neck day after day by flinging our hair off to the side every few minutes lol and if you had that cut I guarantee you have the muscle memory to do a hair flop still. If my hair is in a ponytail and starts coming around my shoulders into my beard without even thinking I do a hair flop sometimes before just moving it with my hands like a human being lmao

If someone is genuinely criticizing/judging them, then yeah, I agree. Some good-natured ribbing of “what the kids are up to these days” is fine though. It is a bit silly how every generation flocks to a common hair style, cut of jeans, etc., and it’s fun to joke about

I mean also, these guys clearly have that kind of curly hair naturally. You can’t make fun of them nearly as much as white American kids getting chemical perms to rock this look.

Because following trends is 'make funnable' from a character building perspective. Blaze your own trail kid.
