As a country how did we ever let this become a thing ?

I was reading about the potential Oasis reunion today which naturally led me to think about terrible haircuts, most notably the uniquely British Paul Weller haircut.

What failure in British society led to haircuts like this existing and how did anyone ever think it was a good look ?

Were you once a wellend ? If so what societal event tipped you over the edge into the abyss ?

Were you once a wellend ?

I think you spelt that wrong?

Alcohol. No other explanation.

Alcohol. No other explanation.

And drugs. Lots of drugs.

If we're going left to right 1, 2, 3 left to right, 4, 5, 6, left to right 7, 8, 9 then 1 is a 10, 3 is a 6, 6 is a 3, 7 is an 11 and 9 is a u wot m8

Nothing wrong with Paul Weller for all he did with the Jam and Style council.

Tbh I don't get the current obsession with mullets. I'm sure they were the chav haircut of choice and for some reason some people think they're cool again.

And drugs. Lots of drugs.

The drugs don't work. They just make you worse, as evidenced by these haircuts!

No judgement on him or his music, this is strictly about the war crime of a haircut he helped popularise.

Neutral Neutral looks like someone I used to know

Lawful Evil looks like they should really give in and accept they're bald.

We, as a nation, should be proud that people are allowed to express themselves as they wish

…oh yeah, and the drugs and alcohol

 

[Hades]

And drugs. Lots of drugs.

Now the drugs don't work. They just make you worse. But I know I'll see your face again

I had a similar style back in the 90's but then again, I was taking lots of drugs. Wouldn't have that style now as it's far to much effort.
