Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?

Iβm seeing a lot of those creepy mustaches lately.
Dawg like a year ago I came back into the office for the first time since Covid and all the 20 year olds had somewhere between pedo stashes and handlebars. Zoomers crack me up theyβre great
I think zoomers are young enough not to have the generational memory of how creepy mustaches are, so suddenly they're cool again. I'm afraid it'll last until the zoomers are old enough to be the creepy ones.
It's kind of like when Justin Bieber was rocking the pedo stash and nobody said anything.
Anybody over the age of 25 was like dude that's a pedo stash, you shouldn't wear that unless you're a pedo.
The girls seem to like it, so I can't complain. But you defo gotta take care of it, bc it looks creepy real quick
It's partly because of Top Gun and some other recent pop culture occurrence I can't recall off the top of my head. But yeah, I know several people at work who recently started doing it as well, and one of them mentioned that as their inspiration. I'm guessing a few started bc of that and more followed suit, because why not or something.
No one here did it because of Top Gun lol.. I think it just came hand in hand with the mullet being back in fashion
You'd be surprised. Just Google it, there are tons of pop magazines and websites that discuss it and how it was trending on TikTok for awhile after the movie came out. And just to add, most fads begin with celebrities/influencers starting them across the various age demographics.
The Charlie Chaplin ones?
