Comment on Bowl cut gang, rise up.

  Um. Bowl cuts are in style NOW. Have you not seen those 20-something TikTok guys who are so sure they’re the most attractive person in the world? Bowl cuts.

  And bowl cuts weren’t cringe in the 90s. Hence why we all had them. It was an accepted style of the time, and because the most horrible styles of the 90s are suddenly on trend again, they’re not cringe now—according to general consensus and fashion. It’s all relative. You or I can look back at our bowl cuts and think they look terrible, but they didn’t have the same context when they were on our heads back then. And they don’t for the people who got that haircut now.

    As someone who was a kid through the 90s, we made fun of the kids with bowl cuts. They were cringe then.

      Are you sure you’re not dealing with false memories here? We were kids. Sure, after we all lost the bowl cuts and became adolescents, we made fun of/were embarrassed of the haircuts we used to have.

      But no one at all in my life ever even discussed our haircuts until we were old enough to want to be someone else. Or maybe you’re younger than I am and I lost my bowl cut with the times and some kids had them stick around through when you were a kid.

      But there was zero discussion of them until we didn’t have them anymore in anyone i ever knew. But we all definitely had them as young kids.

        I explicitly remember making fun of Matt for his haircut in grade 6, which was 2001. I still consider that being a kid.
