Those side burns have been in style for centuries, the hebrew hammer is bringing them back.

[–]think_free 64 points65 points ago

Funny thing is that us older Redditors understand almost ALL trends will look stupid to the next gen. I see the sagging tight pants thing as absolutly fucking stupid, and don't even get me started on the flat brimed hats you dorks love. When it was my time we had baggy pants, curved brim hats, and grunge was the shiznit...

[–]gilliants 15 points16 points ago

Shiznit? That would be my black/white checkerboard tank top with a red bandana tied around my neck, extra-tight jeans with a thin belt, unlaced Converse All Stars, and my long-long hair held in place by lots of hairspray cascading down my back... Shiznit in 1986.

[–]omaca 3 points4 points ago

Excuse my ignorance, but what the fuck is a flat-brimmed hat?

[–]think_free 8 points9 points ago

[–]omaca 5 points6 points ago

Fuck me dead.

That looks absolutely fucking ridiculous.

[–]thatvoicewasreal 4 points5 points ago

Yeah--and the hat is pretty silly, too.

[–]think_free 1 point2 points ago

Yes...yes it does.

[–]punknotcrunk 4 points5 points ago

Guys with sagging skinny jeans has got to be the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen. With a belt even! It makes me want to tear a person's face off and beat them with it.

[–]brainburger 0 points1 point ago

Beat them with their face?

[–]punknotcrunk 0 points1 point ago

Repeatedly.

[–]ifyouknowwhatimeanx 23 points24 points ago

I think most people think that baggy pants and a flat brim look idiotic....most.

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points ago

Except Canadian Mounties. They look cool in flat brim hats and baggy pants.

[–]UrbanToiletShrimp 3 points4 points ago

Not just the hats themselves, but the fucking stickers they leave on. I just want to peel them off.

[–]Syn7axError 9 points10 points ago

I think the problem is more in fashion fads than fashion trends. Tiny difference in idea, big difference in terms of how later generations look at them. That's just me though.

[–]vodenii 4 points5 points ago

You got it.

[–]DoctaStooge 4 points5 points ago

Curved Brim Hats actually serve the purpose of keeping the sun out of the eyes when the sun is on the side of the face.

[–]think_free 7 points8 points ago

Plus we used them to hide our eyes from the folks when we were stoned.

[–]Ram1r3z 0 points1 point ago

Sunglasses?

[–]less_identifiable 2 points3 points ago

Wearing a hat inside only makes you look possibly rude, versus looking like a freak wearing sunglasses inside...

[–]Ram1r3z 0 points1 point ago

Oh, I thought you were outside.

[–]korbonix 2 points3 points ago

The internet is inside, silly

[–]Ram1r3z 1 point2 points ago

Not if you have a smartphone.

[–]think_free 0 points1 point ago

In the house? I was attempting to NOT get caught.

[–]Ram1r3z 0 points1 point ago

I wear sunglasses inside all the time

[–]vmos 2 points3 points ago

the thing about the grunge look was that it wasn't a look, you can take the same clothes (maybe without the holes in the jeans) and you won't look like a total plonker. However if you wear the same clothes that teenagers were wearing in the 80s, how you look very much depends on if you're currently a teenager or not

[–]djm1st 8 points9 points ago

I'm 18 and think flat brim hats make people look like tools.

[–]think_free 7 points8 points ago

I think a lot of it started because of the craze of people wanting their cloths looking like they just bought them 20 seconds ago. I saw a lot of it in the mid to late 90's in the hip pop community...people running around with the price tags still on their cloths...it always made me chuckle.

[–]ProsithiusErvingMott 2 points3 points ago

Minnie Pearl was before her time.

[–]ghostface134 2 points3 points ago

[–]R7-D1 1 point2 points ago

[–]djm1st 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, I definitely see that when they leave the stickers on the hats. I always just say, "douchebag" in my head whenever someone wearing that walks by

[–]think_free 8 points9 points ago

Meh, I see it as stupid...but I assure you my folks saw my grunge gear as stupid...I have to try and keep this in mind. To each his own bro.

"Their" women are easier to date than the ones from my generation (in general)...I married one.

[–]BearsBearsBears_wooo 0 points1 point ago

You are wise beyond your years

[–]ImGumbyDamnIt 2 points3 points ago

Except Panama Hats have been awesome for a few hundred years.

[–]Bobalobatobamos 2 points3 points ago

Except think_free is talking about baseball caps with the brim completely flat, probably cocked to one side a bit and there's probably a big-ass circular sticker on the underside as well.

[–]mlhradio 1 point2 points ago

I mis-read that as Pajama Hats, and I thought, "WTF? Is this some new fashion trend I missed?" As in hats made out pajama fabric, sort of like those "pajama jeans" that have popped up in the past few years.

...Then again, I wouldn't put it past someone to try it. I hope I haven't given some nubnuts out there some sort of "brilliant" idea...

[–]thegurl 3 points4 points ago

Oh shit, we grungers are the older Redditors?

I don't know if I'm sad 'cause I'm old or 'cause we're in charge and we so shouldn't be...

[–]think_free 3 points4 points ago

We are only old per average Redditor champ...Keep your head up.

[–]thegurl 1 point2 points ago

Phew! I think.

We probably still shouldn't be in charge, though... ;)

[–]wizrad 1 point2 points ago

As a fluffy man... I miss baggy pants. Fuck skinny jeans. :-(

[–]Tron-Gorf 3 points4 points ago

These uggs and stretch pants are fodder for future "Oh God Why"

[–]hobrosexual 18 points19 points ago

You're the first person I've seen that has a problem with yoga pants.

[–]deralte 1 point2 points ago

Certainly it depends on who/what is wearing them.

[–]Tron-Gorf 0 points1 point ago

I was there and nobody complained about leg warmers but they were bonerific.

[–]think_free 6 points7 points ago

One of my first gf's use to wear stirrup pants and they were hot as hell at the time.

[–]PrimeIntellect 4 points5 points ago

pretty sure for the most part girls wear those when they don't give a fuck, it's basically pajamas.

[–]ddb1 0 points1 point ago

Oh yeah flat brim hat cocked at a bizarre angle, crusing in their 12 year old civic with a missing bumper, window rolled down to ensure everyone hears their idiotic music.

[–]flamingspew 10 points11 points ago

Yeah, I've had that hairdo since 2001. No shitting you. SEE: http://foreverscape.com/vance_feld.jpg

[–]herruhlen 4 points5 points ago

I have to ask, is it popular with the ladies/men?

[–]flamingspew 2 points3 points ago

I only have one word: handles. Well, and maybe bruises later.

[–]mrwhippy102 0 points1 point ago

I don't get it

[–]szand0r 2 points3 points ago

Why?

[–]scubusdubus 0 points1 point ago

No fucking way... I've been growing my hair to be like yours for like a year now!

[–]hcirtsafonos 2 points3 points ago

Peyos for the win!

[–]xshare 3 points4 points ago

Peyot you dirty ashkenazi!

[–]thehebrew_hammer 1 point2 points ago

you bet your sweet ass I am!

[–][deleted] 81 points82 points ago

Oy vey, what are you talking about? He is the handsomest Hasid in his synagogue!

edit: seriously though, is it just me or does that look rather like Weird Al Yankovic?

[–]loercase 20 points21 points ago

But... it's a girl... isn't it?

[–]ghostface134 6 points7 points ago

a handsome girl if there ever was one. . .

[–]FappingAsYouReadThis 2 points3 points ago

Woah! I see it now!

[–]dontlemmedown 9 points10 points ago

My first thought was that the left picture was a photoshopped picture of Justin Beiber. The resemblance is kind of frightening.

[–]DatoeDakari 5 points6 points ago

Baby, baby, baby oyyyyyy...

[–]nazgul42 3 points4 points ago

It's scarlet johansson

[–]Rusty-Shackleford 32 points33 points ago

would you like a little bagel with those locks?

[–]basquefire 4 points5 points ago

Ba-zing

[–]arachnophilia 8 points9 points ago

ITT: everyone's heard of judaism except the OP.

One million Jews can't be wrong!

[–]badjokethrow 23 points24 points ago

Six million, on the other hand...

[–]MikeTheSpike 14 points15 points ago

Should have taken that vacation.

[–]fruitynoodles 15 points16 points ago

My friend [7] saw this picture and just asked: "Is that Scarlett Johansson?"

[–]Flash_Mob_Fisting 5 points6 points ago

Specifically the second picture. Remove the glasses and change the hair.

[–]thatvoicewasreal 0 points1 point ago

And stuff the shirt. With BOOBIETH.

[–]Sophia9923 36 points37 points ago

Is that a boy or girl?

[–]irobot335 79 points80 points ago

Yes

[–]aperson1729 7 points8 points ago

Maybe.

[–]ImGumbyDamnIt 15 points16 points ago

That's Pat!

[–]Patrick5555 1 point2 points ago

Heyyyyy

[–]Fvel 1 point2 points ago

But why must you know?

[–]humminahummina 2 points3 points ago

You ask why; I ask why not?

[–]thedeejus 0 points1 point ago

I think it is a very pretty boy

[–]cheesedanishes 5 points6 points ago

Kind of looks like a white version of Tay Zonday.

http://imaginow.com/photos/celebrities/tay-zonday/tay-zonday-127079.jpg

[–]neverdreams 8 points9 points ago

I don't think that's a fashion statement...

[–]humminahummina 2 points3 points ago

I don't know - it's definitely saying something to me...

[–]Phoequinox 3 points4 points ago

Times like these I'm glad I'm comfortable in my sexuality, because I can ignore the ambiguity of this person and say that they're pretty hot, regardless of what they're packing.

[–]rcjack86 0 points1 point ago

agreed. although I am sure it is a girl.....but if not, he IS "cute".

[–]crazycatlady786 19 points20 points ago

Justin bieber?

[–]Nougat 20 points21 points ago

Jewstin Bieber.

[–]obviousstatement 5 points6 points ago

Jewstein

[–]benmarvin 2 points3 points ago

It almost looks like if the guys from Flight Of The Conchords had a son together.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]yesmanapple 16 points17 points ago

No, these are tzitzes. You're thinking of payot.

[–]humminahummina 3 points4 points ago

There go my hopes of getting a laugh from, "you have some nice tzitses."

I'll take another stab - When Hasidic Jews walk with the wind at their backs, is that an example of how to payot forward?

Sorry....

[–]imakemisteaks 2 points3 points ago

he's way too cool looking to be hasidic.

[–]nerraw92 2 points3 points ago

But who would grow peyot but not wear a kipah?

[–]bigkripp 1 point2 points ago

Matisyahu Is quite awesome.

[–]FunkiPorcini 0 points1 point ago

Yes he is! He's in the new Sam Raimi film The Possession coming out in August. I really like the new trend of Jewish horror films!

edit Sam is the producer

[–]onipos 0 points1 point ago

[–]Solum 1 point2 points ago

Jemaine as a kid!

[–]accesstoarasaka 1 point2 points ago

I dunno, this is one step closer to girls looking like Motoko from Ghost in the Shell. In which case, I'm all for it. Tiger growl.

[–]09000990 1 point2 points ago

If this makes you say "WHAT THE FUCK" out loud and keeps you up at night, i'd be interested to see how you react to the world outside your gated community.

[–]vodenii 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, it's tough being Jewish...

[–]Beatle_Matt 1 point2 points ago

Not sure if Jewish?

[–]LovingSweetCattleAss 1 point2 points ago

... or a gangster.

[–]GloriousHam 1 point2 points ago

This looks like a modern picture touched up to look vintage.

[–]DJ_Pizza_Party 1 point2 points ago

Ya, those big collars are pretty ugly.

[–]cagedmandrill 1 point2 points ago

Is it me or is the right one Scarlett Johansson?

[–]neiltc 1 point2 points ago

We now start the classic game of male or female, let the speculating begin.

[–]Mrs337 2 points3 points ago

On the south side, at least.

It almost works in the first pic.

Future reddit will have the same discussion about guys with the swooply long combover Justin Beiber style bangs.
