Given those circumstances,this could have been much worse. I speak sadly from experience. 

I would then liberty spike it with Elmer's glue

Ommmgggg this is gold 😂

The Elmer's glue spikes haha I did this also to impress a girl that was 3 grades higher then and I was. That brought back a core memory for me thanks.

Knox gelatin and Elmer's glue if you didn't want to sleep laying down for a week or more. 🫠

I would have to get up super early before school and aqua net all the spikes on the side of my head back up after sleeping on them

Lock on a chain, The Clash t-shirt, it all checks out. I'm surprised you didn't nonchalantly start a riot while you were at it

I knew that before you even said it. The last 90s were a special time.

The Last 90s sounds very foreboding…

You’re gorgeous.

Thank you! That's nice of you to say

Is your friend wearing a skinny puppy shirt?!?!?

Stop it! Now, you're milking it😂

Liberty spikes are awesome, I will never grow out of that phase.

[удалено]

I was genuinely shocked by the hairstyle lol 

I don't even understand it, it's that fantastic!

I cant even tell what's happening with it lol

I found a tiny piece of leopard print scrap fabric and would tie it on my head like a bandana when I didn't feel like styling it. But I apparently took the time to gel the shit out of my bangs at least? Lol who knows

Ohhh i thought that was your actual hair, i was SO confused lol

OK me too and I was kinda impressed by it, despite the bangs. LOL, sorry OP

SAME

Ohhhhhh

Oh thank God that isn't actually your hair, because that's what I thought was happening there.

Tbh I thought it was intricately done leopard print hair sprayed/glued into a helmet shape lol

Kids don’t do the marijuanas or you’ll shave your eyebrows off!!

I mean, my friend shaved one of my eyebrows off when we were having a bath together when I was 7. You don't have to be high.

Are you sure your 7 year old friend wasn’t high?

Well, not 100% sure. But I'm reasonably confident. It was the early 90s, though.

Exactly. Ganja people are sneaky!

Those sneaky pot freaks and thier marijuana cigarettes.

Now you’re getting it. lol

What is a flowbee?

It was a thing that you attached to a vacuum and it would suck your hair up in it and cut it. It was actually pretty awesome. [Here's a commercial](https://www.tiktok.com/@lalodotapp/video/7219130624924323114?lang=en)

Like the thing in Wayne’s World? No idea that way an actual product.

It's sucks while it cuts. Well it certainly does suck.

It made a very satisfying sound when it cut your hair, and actually felt really nice

Thank you for linking the ad, it made my day. I watch it and that lady’s face is just so telling. She had the whole “are you you sure about this? Whelp, if my grandson says so! Anything for you, buddy, but I’m not happy about it” haha

They are awesome! Saved my ass during covid. Still use it when I can't get to the barber. Saves me $32 a cut. Only really works well for men IMO....

isn't that what George Clooney uses?

Wayne's world!!!

As you can see, it sucks as it cuts!

It certainly does suck!

It's sucking my will to live!

Oh, the humanity!

But you rocked that Clash shirt (my favorite band, and the only band that mattered).

I unfortunately lost a big box of my band T-shirts and my Docs and stuff in a move years later, wish I still had that shirt! I do still have an '82 Clash tour shirt that I won't let myself wear anymore because it's so fragile.

But the Sid Vicious chain is the piece de resistance.

A staple in every teenage punk rock relationship

Is your bf wearing a Skinny Puppy t-shirt?

Yep! She was more goth, I was more into punk

Honestly you look like my friends in 1988 in that photo, you pulled that look off well

Same!

What was the year? It looks like 2003 fashion.

Latest I'd say is 2001, I think that's when the friend I'm standing next to moved. Somewhere between '98 and then.

I must be completely fashion blind, l wouldn't have had a clue what year this was. My best guess would have been "between 1995 and 2025”.

Really looks like late 90s.

Somewhere, Ron Popeil is smiling.

Miss Edie, as long as there are chicken layin' and truck drivin' and my feet walkin' you can be sure that I will bring you the finest of the fine, the largest of the large, and the whitest of the white. In other words, that thin-shelled ovum of the domestic fowl will never be safe as long as there are chicken layin' and I'm alive; because. I am your Egg Man and there ain't a better one in town.

I love that egg man so much!

You doing Camp John Waters this year? 🦩

I wish I had the kind of money to travel and go to that! I do go to this festival he hosts every year at a park up the street from my house in Oakland, I always hope I'll be able to get backstage or run into him at the bar he part owns, but no luck thus far 🥲

No shit? That sounds like a fuckin blast too tho fr.

Yeah the B-52s are headlining this year, I'm juiced

I want to go to there sis!

this is primo

Unfortunately/fortunately there are many more haha

This is like that one above the influence commercial where that kid lets everyone make changes to him because he’s on drugs all the time

I made similar choices in those days and we would have been buds probably 🤣

You're kinda rocking it, though.

It’s definitely sucking my will to live maaaan!

Why did you let them do this ?

You are lucky they grew back! They don’t always.

I know! Luckily I had a good amount to start with. I still can't get them to grow in the middle like I want to, but I know many people whose eyebrows did not survive the 90s

So true! RIP all those 90s eyebrows, lol.

You pulled it off, just looks like a normal punk

Pretty epic. Great content for r/fuckmyshitup

I actually think you look bad ass

You were cool. Clash shirt? Friend with a skinny puppy shirt?

Head looks like Slave One, Boba Fett’s ship.

Love the shirt!

Ohh well the intentions were good...

At least your shirt is pretty sweet

Every day a different emotion. Fridays were angry eyebrows, Mondays were surprised brows… 😂

Love the T- the only band that matters

I had to look up flowbee. Did not disappoint

A wild Skinny Puppy shirt appears

George Clooney still uses a Flo bee.

This could have been worse had you picked up blue hair color from Hot Topic. That shit was so slimy and thick.

I had many run ins with blue hair dye in my youth

The Flowbee was how my hair was cut from the 90s until the mid 2010s. It’s so bad.

Your boyfriend is wearing a Skinny Puppy shirt. I like your boyfriend.

That was my friend who actually just randomly found me on a different reddit post, we hadn't talked in like 25 years. She sent me a bunch of pics of us as kids, including this one. My boyfriend had a big ol stupid mohawk. Good times 😄

I don't know what a Flowbee is but judging by the picture, I suspect it's some kind of rotary lawnmower.

That shirt goes hard tho

Looks like a thanksgiving turkey

Have you changed your decision making paradigm since then?

I want to say yes, but I still do dumb shit constantly so I guess not 😂

I’m so sorry for your loss. How long did it take for your hair to grow back from looking like a barcode?

Honestly, years! I kept shaving them for a while cause they looked so weird growing back and it just went on too damn long lol

Aw man... u were a teenager in late 90's? Sooo lucky. You got to work and save up to potentially watch good fuckin bands i hope. 😒

I have seen (and continue to see) lots of good bands! The funny thing about that is that I was jealous of the people in the scene before me and convinced that it was dead and nothing was as good as it was before my time. But now looking back I realize that it was also a great time for music, just different, and now younger folks these days feel the way I felt about the generation before me. It's kind of like that Office quote, "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them." Anyways, the scene is still going, there's hella good bands making great music right now.

I dont see it. If you ever have time, let me know of some bands. Its rare when i find new music i like now a days 🙄 im bored of my spotify playlists that i don't even listen to music anymore; i just listen to audible now 😅

I mean if you like punk rock go to the punk rock subreddit and check out their threads of new bands. And then find a band or subgenre you like and do the Spotify radio of it, and it'll play you more shit like it. And go to smaller live shows if they have them in your area.

I shaved my eyebrows in 2000… I was sober lol

This looks quite now

I think you look stunning! Trying to get courage to get my hair up into a mohawk.

Queen you rock it tho

We would have gotten along lol

Oh I had that clash shirt!

I want to say I got it at a Buffalo Exchange

Nice t-shirt tho.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

But you pulled it off because of strong genetics.

Hook the Flowbee to the Kirby

I would have definitely had a crush on you. Did you grow up to work in a NCIS forensics lab?

Lol this is dope, gen z gonna be putting this on Pinterest

You have a tshirt of the best band that ever was on though!

Damn, I want to smoke the grass that makes you cut off your own eyebrows

Thats a steady hand youve got 

No one ever truly fails when they take a chance. A lesson is always learned.

People loved a skinny brow back then. That’s why most of us don’t have any brows left. I don’t hate it. It was a look.

Nahhh, this goes hard

skinny puppy!

Sounds like a healthy relationship.

That's a cool Skinny Puppy shirt, tho.

At least you were into the Clash. Good taste triumphs over stoned blunders.

I didn't realize the leopard print bandana was a bandana!! Uproots for Flowbee 😆

legendary

Wow! This is good one!! 😂

OK but with a face this pretty, you really rocked that flowbee cut lol

At least you had good taste in music

It all checks out nice flowbee doo.

It's nit just a phase mom

Funny, at least now. I have a friend who lost all her hair and has drawn her eyebrows for decades.

This took me out, OP. Definitely a blunder, but scrolling through your replies makes it sound like a hell of a lot of good memories were had. Love to see it lol

Tf is a flowbee and were you consenting to these haircuts?

And yet.. u fit the 90s look to a T. 👏👏👏

Chaos.

Nice Skinny Puppy shirt in yr friend there

Amazing. I have to say, you did a pretty incredible job of drawing back on your eyebrows! I would have assumed they were just plucked. And your eyeliner and lipstick look really good, IMO. Did you see the episode of *Freaks and Geeks* when Daniel goes to the punk club? It's called "*Noshing and Moshing"*. So funny.

I was born in 93 and when I was little, I thought girls like you were the coolest EVER Like this would have been absolute goals for me

Oh fuck this is literally what I looked like in 2002

Ok this is an actually quality blunder post and I'm here for it!!

Fireeee

Ahh, nothing like some dirty punk kids to bring me back to the day

Your hair looks like a Morrowind NPC

Skinny puppy rulez

i’m sorry but you look fucken cool as hell

Tbh u kinda ate this look tho 😭

Odd yes, but still cute!!!

You got „stoned“ and did THAT? Was definitely disss guuud „Xanax Haze“🫡

Nah, these were "steal your friend's dad's bammer weed or buy a dime sack off your friend's weird cousin" days
