"hitler youth" aka "the mackless" http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/17/fashion/a-haircut-returns-from-the-1930s.html

Yeah, occasionally referred to as the "hitler youth" haircut, that was indeed all the rage starting maybe 2-3 years ago and has run its somewhat predictable course into more and more mainstream layers of society, so that a toned-down version of it is not uncommon among young lawyers and finance dudes. Some of its popularity was attributed to that guy on Boardwalk Empire. Anyway I think it's probably dying down now, but honestly it's a nice haircut -- clean cut but with some flair. My wife who actually works in eastern williamsburg says she sees more young artisanal dudes wearing long, 90s sensitive seattle guy hair lately, but I scarcely brush with that world anymore.

xxp haha definitely not, i have a very short beard and nothing like that. also i do not have this stylish taper and side part haircut i just mentioned.

but yea it is a nice haircut. have to say though i prefer long 90s style seattle hair more

I like the haircut because it makes my face look more narrow

I am on the razor's edge between having a narrow face and having a round face

btw that gif is grossing me out a LOT

Ugh that noodle beard gif is right up there with the Guy Fieri tongue gif on the list of gifs that make me sad to be alive. Also I really like the haircut to which you are referring.

would be pretty funny if this was the next look:

i have a hitler-youth-man-bun.html

haha would love that^^^

in boston the hipsters aren't as cutting edge as in williamsburg so this "mackless" look is still dominating

My haircut changes very little over time because the texture of my hair means only very limited things work, but even I have been kind of having the barber leave the top a little longer and the sides a little shorter in a nod to the style of our day.

for real lagoon? you have a bun? that's rad. i have a somewhat high hairline so i've never felt comfortable pulling my hair into a bun (when it was long enough to do so back in college) but tbh i sometimes dig that look

i've been cutting my own hair for probably 15 years. i basically cut it all one length but the top is free and curly and the sides and back lay down more so it looks like it's longer on top

i dont really have a bun sorry

xp the guy fieri tongue is MUCH worse though

rn/usally i have bedhead, need to move somewhere w softer water

one of my good friends in college was totally this LA spacy yoga dude was super super friendly and genuine and he would wear his hair in a bun when doing yoga

yea i typically shower at night since i get up with my son in the morning, so i have pretty bad bedhead all the time

i took a picture of my hair

I think the hitler youth haircut looks good but I feel that 20 years from now it's going to feel very of an era the way that this does now:

I am perhaps saying this as a jealous bald man with no hair to style.

I like dudes with buns, too!

hah i've been gradually heading toward that hitler youth haircut if only because it seems like it will grow out well, i can deal w/having longer hair on the top but i hate messy back/sides and having hair over my ears. i prob am too much of a wuss to go full buzzcut on the back/sides tho.

i wore a bun sometimes in high school its p corny tho

feel like casual ponytail is trending for dudes maybe this is 'seattle hair' kinda dont get that

its seattle maybe cause the hair is stylishly ignored/distressed

/dirty/oily/powerfully grunge

distressed is such a hilarious word

the hair is panicking literally

The fashionable haircut capital of the world is Korea tho imo

Everybody there has thick black hair that can be straight but can also naturally wavy or curly and it is all very powerful and beautiful

my father-in-law bought this country-style dining room table for their house in VT and told me "the best thing about this table is that it doesn't matter if it gets knicked, the style is 'distressed'!!"

dads dream of a thing its ok to not care about fulfilled

xxp noticed the same thing about lima peru and santiago chile -- thick black hair everywhere and there were some really crazy cuts. lots of bad mullet-style cuts though too

although i personally dislike long hair on men i can understand why its desirable rn just moving away from the whole 'digital creative' look

lol @ digital creative

what if u r a digital creative tho plz advise

Good news you have a gr8 haircut

thank gosh

Sometimes I wonder about whether haircuts in other countries are ironic but I just miss the irony bc of lack of context

Irony is kinda a western concept tbh

yea it's hard to know. the mullets seemed too common to be ironic though, they were very popular among 18-20 year olds

my hair is too curly to ever have that long seattle style stoner metal-style hair that i admire on people like merzbow or j mascis. the longer my hair gets the more i look like those two dudes from at the drive-in, which was definitely a look i rocked in college though, it worked

can u imagine what the world will look like when asia goes ironic my lord

God I hope not

They are having so much fun right now

Don't want them to become dour and serious

sorry too bad this is why we do colonialism

We have to prevent Iran from developing Irony

irony is a force for good and democracy

can we dig a lil deeper into the post digital creative look, feel like the pants are still tapered but a lil more relaxed, like thye look like they could maybe have some paint splatters ont hem
