...same. I was all confident in the fact that I never buy shirts like that, until I remembered I have the meseeks shirt... "Roses are red, this life is a lie. Existence is pain, I just want to die." Lol
I loved it so I bought it, but I'd never actually wear that in public
Not me but if I found a cool Rurouni Kenshin or YYH shirt in the wild I'd definitely get one, lol. I did have some t-shirts of Jesus whipping bankers that I used to wear to work often, though. 😅
I passed on the Kenshin shirts first time around because the only thing at Media Play was Samurai X. I couldn't deal with the name. When it came out that he was busted for collecting child porn and they ended the series abruptly with him dying from radiation sickness from the a-bomb, I put it all away. I watched the remake out of nostalgia, and it is a good story. The fact that the author is a pedo, however, tainted every moment there was a child on screen.
Reddit studies have shown the vast majority of users are GenZ males. And from many of the conversations I've had on Lemmy, it certainly seems like most users are on the younger side. And from my perspective as an older millennial, every GenZ male has the same stupid haircut.
Every generation has their "bi-level" haircut. From the bowl-cut to the faux hawk to the long bangs/short sides emo "swoop"--all the way to this, the 20s broccoli. There's also sometimes the mullet they try to pass off as a "wolf cut." Sure, kid.
It wasn't called "the broccoli haircut" then, but it reminds me a lot of some haircuts from around 1990-ish, and WP says that that it's just a revival of some 1980s/1990s styles (though none of the WP examples look that close to the broccoli haircut to me, or quite like what I'm thinking of). I don't find it objectionable. It feels a little disconcerting to see so many people that look like they're out of the 1980s running around all of a sudden, I suppose.
During the early and mid 2010s, the permed undercuts of the 1980s and 1990s underwent a revival.[10] The trend was inspired by hairstyles popular during the New Romantic movement of the 1980s, such as mullets and shags.[6] By 2018, possibly having been popularized by rapper Little T (Joshua Tate), the hairstyle had gained recognition in the UK as the "Meet me at McDonald's haircut".[2] The hairstyle achieved media exposure after a school in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk banned pupils from possessing the style.[11][12]
During the COVID-19 lockdowns of the early 2020s, many younger Gen Z boys in the UK and United States experimented with new hairstyles at home before the barbers reopened. In 2020, Dillon Latham, a then-15-year-old TikToker, posted a clip of himself getting a perm in the style of the broccoli haircut, which prompted its early spread among teenage and tween boys. It soon became more a trend in 2021 after being worn by TikTokers such as Noah Beck, Bryce Hall, Harry Jowsey, and Jack Doherty.[5][4] That same year, it became an Internet meme and a subject of scorn online, beginning with a 4chan thread that coined the phrase "Zoomer perm" to describe it.[13]
The broccoli haircut was especially popular by 2022 and gained further attention online in 2024 when a photo of American actor David Corenswet on the set of James Gunn's 2025 film Superman showed him with what many online described as a broccoli haircut, which was mocked by social media users.[6] GQ's Alex Nino Gheciu argued that the broccoli haircut had reached its peak by 2024.[5] Also in 2024, Marie Claire's Samantha Holender called the haircut "the TikTok tween boy hallmark".[4]
EDIT: What I'm thinking of looks more like this "taper fade French crop":
Prolly like this
Yep that's me!
Awh, it's so cute!

Damn. I need to play that game again. Loved it as a kid.
Omg saaame. I have to find it again
I use Void, so this is me
Hahaha I'm scared
How did you get my photo??
remove this asap
The classical.
I was worried I wasn't going to be represented, thanks poster!
Solid.
I swear the artist used Tom Cruise's face as inspiration.
Edit:
Not fair. I cut my hair last month
Dang, we're all vampires?
I prefer mirrors with feet
This, but with much longer hair, twice as scruffy, and haven't shaved in a week.
Hey... My hair is much darker.
Mines slightly lighter, but otherwise same.

I'm in this pic and I don't like it.
This is the correct one
Average Librewolf privacy user
Some kind of gay fox.
But what does it say?
UwU
Like V for Vendetta?
looks extremely confused
Oh. "Gay fox"/"Guy Fawkes".
Thank you for explaining it.
I'm only like 20% fox, but like 98% gay
🤔
This movie is responsible for many boys' both sexual awakening, and the necessity for therapy later in life.
I bet that at least 80% of us have a shirt that references a cartoon character and/or their franchise.
opens dresser drawer, sees Rick and Morty shirt
Motherfucker…

20%er.
ETA: Does a ninja turtle costume T-shirt count?
I do not have shirts with pictures. I have some nondiscript texts, but not pictures.

I generally wear one of many identical black tees during the workweek, I don’t have any cartoon shirts though.
Those are my regular t-shirts now that my new job has me wearing long sleeve shirts. I must have about a dozen or so!
My only printed shirt is purple and has a unicorn on it. Does that count?
i. do. not.. oh, wait. i do. several.
(snoopy. in case you're wondering)
I have a Meatwad "I'm gonna get tore up" shirt so that checks out.
I have a Master Shake one saying, "I'm 30 or 40 years old and I do not need this."
I feel attacked.
No worries, I wouldn't bet on it if I wasn't guilty myself.
It's courage! The cowardly dog!
And a variety of others. I'm an adult, yep. Totally.
Let's go!

Does mentality mid 40s, body mid 20s and IT count?
Certainly.
Also, fuck you /j
Tis just the tism and trauma that makes one more 'adult'
It is amazing how that style took off. Its not good. No different than our hairstyles of old though if you think about it.

To my eyes, at least, looks pretty similar.
I think it's cute!
What? No Tails?
wags excitedly
Apt. Except they are running windows !!!
Oh, I hadn't noticed. Bad example
This is funny but I'm surprised Mint is at the bottom.
I guess I shouldn't be. I didn't really notice how popular it's gotten. I'm used to thinking of it as a cooler Ubuntu.
It is cooler.
Its just popular and easy now ha
we are all just sentient cans of baked beans
Or
Would Bazzite users just be wearing flip flops?
Either an elder or this.
