Or was it Tom Hardy or Joseph Gordon Levitt?

Probably all of them gave it the exposure.

Just a few years ago you would have been laughed at for wearing your hair like that. Very odd.

1970s style shirts with wide collars and boot cut trousers with bell bottoms legs were fashionable for a while during the early to late 2000s.

Combats were all the rage about 15 years ago.

I'm going to try to set a trend of wig wearing. Like really obvious cheap syrups that you'd find on a mannequin in Michael Guineys.

I'm hoping it'll be en vogue for Spring/Summer 2015.

"Short back and sides" was a popular hairstyle worldwide both before and after World War 2, not just in Germany.

either that, or there's LOTS of gays around these times..

Or people just like to have their hair cut in a certain way?

But I'm sure your suggestions are much more likely...

Ah I remember my days in the ol Schutzstaffel phase

It's a bit unfair to compare the SS to the **** going around in this day and age with that hair cut

OP, the young people are doing things you don't understand and this scares you. Worry not, this is a normal part of getting excruciatingly old,

I'm not old.

I find it odd when I see teenagers with haircuts that their grandfathers and great grandfathers wore but their parents rebelled against by wearing their hair long.

He was some style icon old Adolf, they didn't call him Hair Hitler for nothing.

And now their children rebel by wearing their hair short and adopting retro hair. Not sure that you should be greatly surprised by this.

I thought this particular monstrosity we speak of was called the "walnut whip"?

The Diabolical Monocle

Why ? Well anything that they think might help in even the least way in the desperate pursuit to get their hole.

SS haircut so be it.

Got to admit - the Germans had style back in WW2, be it uniform or their vehicles and so forth.

I always assumed they had some sort of secret design consultant bureau that made sure their weapons and vehicles were cool as f**k looking in comparison to the gauche stuff the allies produced

I mean the MG44, the Mg42, the FW 190, the Jagdpanther They all can't just be happy coincidences/

Interesting thread OP , Ive one young lad who looks like he should be in the Waffen SS and another who looks like a Taliban fighter with full beard and long hair , what makes it more strange in Castle Corner is that Mrs Corner is of Jewish extraction.

If the SS haircut is back, does that mean I can rock the little mustache again too!?!

The Macgyver style mullet survived for a while into the early 1990s until Keanu Reeves popularized the shaved head in the movie Speed in 1994. Around 1996/1997/1998 longer hair came back due to the popularity of the Oasis with a fringe combed forward into the eyes. Around the early 2000s men started gelling their fringes upward into a pyramid shape. Around 2008/2009 they started parting their hair at the side with a mop over the forehead. Then the short back and sides came back and now everyone looks like an SS recruit.

You're forgetting the "ironic mullet" - popular around 2005 I believe. Really hideous. There's a couple of examples out there but I couldn't be arsed looking them up.

Everyone who has ever shaved off a moustache has, at some point, turned it into a Charlie Chaplin and saluted the mirror. The braver ones tell the OH they're going to keep it and only shave it off when she threatens to leave or withhold the sexy.

This was the most popular hair style among Hitler's elite Waffen SS.
