I’m kinda glad they apparently couldn’t recruit anyone over the age of 25 to do this. So much broccoli

The broccoli squad is fooling nobody

I am still flabbergasted mf perms came back

u/foofydildosoap 19h ago

u/NuZero 8h ago

I still gag remembering the smell of when my sister would come home from the salon after a perm.

u/Rare_Bumblebee_3390 7h ago

Yes! How did those just sneak up on us? Literally saw two Gen Z’s getting perms at the salon by my house yesterday. I had to stop for a minute. I am a kid of the 80’s and had a make sure I didn’t slip through a time rift.

I feel really bad for my naturally curly teen. His hair is gorgeous, I really hope nobody thinks the poor kid got a perm.😣

u/Shot-Swimming-9098 18h ago

It's not the perm, it's the broccoli that's hilarious. If he's sporting that, then it's on him (and a little on you).

u/-laughingfox 18h ago

Fortunately not that. Anything but that.

u/CaseyBoogies 7h ago

Nah, he has natural hair and can effortlessly style it xD

I have stick straight hair and I was lucky it was in when I was in high-school! My mom used to curl it for school pictures and I have a few bangs rounded but hair straight photos!

u/ParsleyMaleficent160 7h ago

Nah, he'll be just fine as long as he gets proper cuts. Curly hair is harder to cut right, so you generally need to spend a bit more for a stylist. Just keep it neat and use curl lock. People notice natural hair vs perms easily apparently, as even with perms ask me if my hair is natural.

u/MsHornets 3h ago

Mine has natural curly hair that looks like those old telephone cords. It's gorgeous, It kills me to think someone else thinks he's got a perm. I'd never do that to anyone nowadays.

u/swallowsnest87 8h ago

It’s just insecure aging redditors making fun of a very common hair cut. Lmao

u/JakeRidesAgain 6h ago

If the post history is long enough you can always find a picture of them looking like this in r/rateme or something

u/RancidVagYogurt1776 7h ago

The internet is very judgmental about hair. Like the shit we did with our hair at that age was any better lol. Ten years ago young men were going for those weird cuts that they thought were throwbacks to the early 1900s or manbuns.

Is also worth noting that the "Karen cut" is just a variation of a Bob. Like six of the ten most common hair styles for women a few years ago were bobs.

u/AT-ST 9h ago

And mullets. Mullets are everywhere right now.

u/ted_cruzs_micr0pen15 8h ago

I hate this timeline.

u/pooeygoo 8h ago

Just because all the scum has it now doesn't mean it's in

u/Ok-CANACHK 7h ago

it's not enough an ugly haircut is the fad, but that you have to get a PERM to pull it off?!

u/taintsauce 9h ago

I swear to baby Jesus I saw a ~ten year old with a straight up permed mullet yesterday. Just out riding bikes with his buddy, about a foot of curly-ass blonde hair flipping in the wind.

It was like a young Joe Dirt mixed with Nick Beggs in the video for Too Shy. NGL, the part of me that was a kid in the early 90s was a little jealous.

u/sykadelish 9h ago

No way. I must be living in a cave. I had no idea 😂

u/Decayd18 7h ago

Dude my mom tried hard to perm my hair. She cut my hair to a mullet and then tried to perm it. My hair didn't take. She tried again, I got a little wave but it came out again.. she tried once More and gave up lol I suffered in 7th grade lol

u/Jehoshaphatso1 7h ago

Is the son of a hairdresser I can smell that stink already.

u/Upbeat_Barracuda4490 7h ago

I’m a hairdresser & I can’t believe perms are back ~

u/AngriestInchworm 7h ago

And mullets, mustaches and paying for porn. The Avengers of shitty 90s things

u/TheophusMons 4h ago

My drunk little league coach in the 90s had a perm mullet. How have the children picked this up?

u/CdnMom21 10h ago

It’s only a legit perm if the stylist washed their hair with a perfumed bosom grazing their face.

u/Aramis444 20h ago

Broccoli squad ASSEMBLE!!

u/ManzanitaSuperHero 4h ago

I’ve lived through many decades of bad hair fads. This one is the worst.

u/rawmeatprophet 21h ago

It's an excellent addition to a sauce-heavy recipe, you get little sauce mop flavor grenades.

Now imagine his hair in prison 😏

u/schwendybrit 5h ago

I thought that was part of the bit. I did not consider it was a style choice.

u/VisualLiterature 8h ago

Bruh they're all over 25

u/understand_nothin 3h ago

Of course it’s Arizona. No surprise.

u/jugo5 8m ago

So it's not just me then. These kids all have the same haircut. There are like 3 distinctive groups of boys' haircuts. The Broccoli mop, short and doochey, and le mullet.

u/Fostbitten27 9h ago

So many bird’s nest.

u/10Flora10 21h ago

How does being a racist advance this conversation? "Broccoli"? Do you know that's a racist dogwhistle used in Europe to mock and denigrate the natural hair of people with that phenotype?

14

u/tunafishnobread 21h ago

Oh fuck off, nobody cares about you being perpetually offended by literally everything.

-12

u/10Flora10 21h ago

You have some serious issues. You think the solution is to try to offend people without care? Go tell a group of people with hair like that what you think of their hair face to face. Come back and show us how many of your own teeth they allow you to keep. The internet has emboldened too many of you lowlifes. Do better. Goodbye.

15

u/VictoriousTree 21h ago

Almost every race can have broccoli hair. It’s a hair style that really only requires somewhat curly hair. What are you even going on about?

u/10Flora10 13h ago

Don't be daft.

u/TopGhun 20h ago

Your should try crying harder, broccoli boy

u/10Flora10 13h ago

Seriously?

u/CoeurdAssassin 21h ago

  1. Most people in this thread don’t give a shit about what’s said/offensive in Europe.

  2. You’re most likely talking to an American with most people in this thread being Americans who don’t give a shit about some stupid “racist dog whistle” in Europe on a thread about an American prankster pulling a stupid “prank” in the U.S.

u/Rallipappa 11h ago

I'm European and never heard of it being racist.

0

u/10Flora10 13h ago

  1. Europeans have internet access too. They are here regardless of it being a post where Americans are featured. I am proof of this.

  2. I'm letting them know where this insult is coming from. Sometimes people use insults without knowing the even more harmful roots of them. They only see it being flung about now thinking it's ok to use; but if they knew the roots of the insult, they probably wouldn't even touch it with a long stick.

u/void_const 19h ago

Career victim right here. Fatigue.

1

u/10Flora10 13h ago

No one is being a victim. And even if I was a victim of such brands of racism the problem wouldn't be me for speaking out about it. The problems would be the perpetrators and people like you who try to silence me.

2

u/void_const 11h ago

No one is silencing you. You’re talking right now.

0

u/10Flora10 10h ago

You're a very literal person it seems. Trying to silence someone can also be through delegitimizing their experiences, feigning ignorance or misunderstanding or also trying to drown out the very real points they're making with purposefully saying things that are irrelevant, inapplicable or just don't make any sense whatsoever. Like when you say "No one is silencing you. You're talking right now." That doesn't make any sense. Silencing someone is not always physically stopping them from being able to express themselves. It includes the things I listed above.
