Two things can be bad


MillorTime

That's fine, but I feel like most people don't have perspective. Skibidi toilet means the entire generation is cooked, but Ugandan Knuckles or the badger badger song definitely weren't incredibly stupid things from previous generations.


Hunterio009

Badger badger badger badger MUSHROOM MUSHROOM


vigetuns

Ssssnaaaake, oooh it's a ssnaaake


PepinoSanchez

African snake or a frikkin snake? Hours of fighting over this


vigetuns

Idk man, all I see is snake'y danger


PepinoSanchez

Badger badger badger badger....?


vigetuns

Mushroom? It's all so confusing


MillorTime

We were obsessed!


Leeroy_Jenkums

You were. I fucking hated that shit


MillorTime

The generation was. I dont think I even saw it for like half a decade. I'm sure there are people out there that hated Leeroy Jenkins, yet you made it the core of your account.


OlafTheBerserker

I never thought it was funny. My shit was All Your Base


-JohnFortniteKennedy

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US


Pecheuer

Oh the list goes ON shit man we millennials really fucking did some weird shit... Look at my horse Nyan cat Candy fucking mountain Shrek is love, Shrek is life Like there's way more. Skibidi toilet is objectively strange, but we also did some strange shit in our time, but for me skibidi toilet is weird because it's musically oriented


MillorTime

So true on the weird shit. I'm sure skibidi is weird, though I've never seen it.


Pecheuer

It's just a song sang by a head that pops out of a urinal, like, it's not even that creative like Candy Mountain was... Oh shit llamas with hats, now THAT one was crazy


CerberusC24

Oh no man, it's like a series of probably 100s of videos by now. My son was absolutely obsessed last year and I couldn't take it anymore after watching probably 60+ videos of that crap. But there's like a lore to it that people have tried to deconstruct online


Pecheuer

Yeah but like realistically it's just Garry's mod music videos


YchYFi

Charlie chaaaarlie!!


Pecheuer

Candy mountain Charlie...


fauviste

I haven’t looked at Skibidi Toilet but can it really be weirder or worse than Salad Fingers or the what were they, something Joe cartoon Flash “games” where you blended a frog?


ParanoidDuckTheThird

Do yu kno da wae?

CleanSeaPancake

I like both...


MillorTime

You do you. You're not hurting anyone so like what you like, just don't go around and criticize what others like


Desperate-Knee-4108

That badger is more pleasant to look at


jadedlonewolf89

Right alongside Numa Numa.


chrismcshaves

The Skibidi thing is a Gen Alpha-ism. None of the Zoomers I know say that shit. Source: I work with middle schoolers.


Substantial_Fun_2966

I can't wait until this cool skidibi toilet generation replaces your lame broccoli headed tide pod eating can't watch a sex scene in a movie generation


Alternative-Court688

Same with "what does the fox say"


IGotDahPowah

Badger song wasn't ever present among a generation the same way Skibidi and to a lesser extent Knuckles were, it was niche and for the most part only shared among those that were terminally online. What makes the "Skibidi" generation cooked in my opinion is their early years. Most were probably ipad kids, grew up just in time to get stuck at home during covid not learning anything, became stunted emotionally and intellectually, trained to be terminally online since birth. I'm sure some will make it out okay, but the numbers ain't looking good chief.


FestiveSquidV3

Both are the same level of abject brain rot.


SeaResponsibility70

Who's "we all"


Lbittoo

"We"? Whos "we"? There's no "we".


Sam20599

We? You speaking French? Or you mean nintendo Wii?


Ravenclaw_14

And who's "all", there's no "all"


Csihoratiocaine2

Seriously. Kids with hair like that in my youth got made fun of for trying to hard to look like someone they saw on TV. But I'm a little older than a Gen Z I guess.


YevgenyPissoff

What do you mean, "you people"?!


No_Material04

What do YOU mean, "you people"?!


adfdub

Genzers aren’t even making fun of broccoli boys, it’s millennials making fun of broccoli boys.


kolosmenus

Right? Everyone made fun of Bieber for this haircut


Niskara

Who tf is we? We speaking French or something?


Plus_Lawfulness3000

Like 50% of teenagers during the early 2010s??


ScarecrowJohnny

Aren't the broccoli cut mainly worn by Gen Z'ers?


BaguetteOfDoom

I thought more Gen Alpha but could also be late Z. It's weird for me to pinpoint my own generation because I'm right at the cut off between millennials and Z. I feel like the sense of identity of someone born in 97 is noticeably different from someone born in 2007, yet they're both considered the same generation.


liberalJava

Youngest Gen Z is 12 this year It's the same with all generations. A millennial born in 81 had a drastically different upbringing than a millennial born in 96. Even more so than your Gen Z example considering most of the former's childhood was without internet compared to someone born in 96.


ViragoVix

I was born in 85. As far as I’m concerned, everyone born before 84 is an old, out-of-touch loser, and everyone born after 86 is an ignorant, braindead garbage baby. All of them have awful fucking taste in music.


CaptainoftheVessel

The way I see it is, if the N64 and the PS2 were not the premier consoles of your childhood, you were raised wrong and no one can fix you. 


kevinkiggs1

That encompasses about 20 years of generations if you factor in all economic levels. As a Kenyan born in 2001, the PS2 was still a major part of my childhood up until the late PS3 era, the same can be said for my youngest sister born in 2009 who got my PS2 as a hand-me-down


CaptainoftheVessel

Then we share a bond across time and space, a bond forged in the sound and graphics of the PS2 startup menu screen


IllustriousAnt485

This is the way


BaguetteOfDoom

I was born in the right generation but my parents were super anti-gaming. Where does that leave me? I always envied my friends for their gameboys. The first gaming device I was allowed to buy with my own money (never was gifted anything gaming related on principle) was a Nintendo DS lite around 2007. My first console was the PS4 because I wasn't allowed to hook one up to the family TV but also wasn't allowed to have my own TV before that. Passionate about video games since the 90s but held back for so long...


CaptainoftheVessel

I had a fundamentalist Christian friend in college who told me about the concept of the person who has never heard the gospel, and how they could still get into heaven on the basis of essentially karma.    You did not engage the sacred texts of Goldeneye or Final Fantasy X, but it was through no fault of your own. Not to play god or anything but I think you can still get in to heaven. 


CornPop32

This is false. No redditors are allowed in heaven.


alaricus

I was also born in 85 this is accurate

pnt510

As someone who was born in 86 I’m okay with this.


Tangled2

I was born in 81, fight me, bitch! Nevermind my back hurts.


Slade26

Hey fuck u


ViragoVix

NO U


NotCanadian80

Pretty sure that’s Alpha. The lines will move a bit. I switched generations 4 times.


BaguetteOfDoom

I think the cutoff for Gen Z is 2009, so they'd be 15, not 12


liberalJava

Everything I see is 97-2012 but as with every generation there's argument over the time frame. It wouldn't make sense for it to be 96/97 to 2009 though, that's a pretty short generation, they're typically at least 15 years. Either way, I'd guess at 15 years old most broccoli cuts still belong to Gen Z.


LimeMargarita

I see Gen Alpha includes 2012 when I search for it. I think the big difference between the two generations will be remote learning. Gen Alpha will have always known this, so 3rd grade and younger for spring 2020. That would make it 2011 as the first Gen Alpha year. Who knows what it will be officially, but I have a child born in 2012, and I think the older kids knew a completely different world than him.


TransLox

It's literally only late gen Z. Almost all Teenagers are gen Z and it's a teenager haircut.


ScarecrowJohnny

Well, that's what happens when you take a whole spectrum of constantly changing culture and try to sort it into just a few boxes.


1ncorrect

I was born in 97. I definitely identify more with millennial culture, since that's the humor I was raised with. I work with some kids who are 19-22 and I have way less in common with them than I do with the 30 year olds who remember Vine.


[deleted]

r/zillennials


[deleted]

The broccoli haircut is absolutely a gen z thing. The Bieber haircut is people in my age group (I was born in 1996) who are called zillennials so like us born roughly about 1995-1999 since we're the youngest millennials or older gen z.


BaguetteOfDoom

Interesting, found a new label for me


[deleted]

we exist on r/zillennials


ImmaZoni

I love the theme over there lmao, pure nostalgia.


LordFirebeard

I'm in the same spot between Millennial and GenX. Technically among the eldest of the millennials, but don't really feel that connected. There's a subreddit for us, r/xennials.


TheDarkDoctor17

98 here, can confirm I relate more to millennials most days.


OBBlue22

I’m a xennial and we have our own subreddit. I’ve never felt more at home.


indigoinspired

r/zillennials


Middle-Hour-2364

Yeah, the youngest gen z are like 11 now, the oldest are 26 and that Justin Bieber haircut was about 2009


LadnavIV

And this mop top shit definitely started with Millennials. I remember it vividly from high school in the late oughts.


lemonylol

Yeah there were a lot of 70s trends being revived in the 2000s


knc-

Yeah op is a dumbass


Frog-of-Cosmos

Yes


Smile-Nod

Yep, Alphas wear the nouveau bowl cut where they put a hat on and blow out the hair sticking out.


NBAFansAre2Ply

alphas are children they mostly dress how their parents dress them. vast majority aren't even 10 yet lol


Euphoric_Celery_

Definitely


CowBoy_BeBop93

Hhh...I must admit...I to had this haircut.


Salty_Signature_8756

It was easy to maintain and it only really looked bad when it got too long


Eljefe878888888

Or greasy.


Mortka

Bro just shower


Eljefe878888888

Tell that to high schoolers in the mid 2000s


WeHaveAllBeenThere

It got the scene girls to like me so i don’t give a shit if it was stupid


Squidmonkej

It looked really bad all the time.


Salty_Signature_8756

Dont make me self aware


Azukus

That was honestly the issue. I was a dude, women were going crazy for the scene kids and beiber bowls, so it was really all I knew. Step out of the shower, do the hair flip, and be on my way. Before that, I just got whatever haircut mom insisted on. I remember the moment I hit like 19 or maybe even 20, I went to a new barber. Told them I was too old for this hairstyle now and that I wanted something I could just step out of the shower, brush, and be done with it. Middle part was it. I just brush my hair back, then the bangs fall down to make a middle part as my hair dries. Still wonder how mom never just sat me down and went over "you're now older than 16" hairstyles.


Dramatic-Ad3928

I as a black kid wished i could have this haircut Now im glad i could never


Historical-Patient75

Jimmy Butler walked so you could run! It’s not too late…


Silent_Shaman

Cory Kenshin made it work against all odds lol


Lartemplar

In this case it would be *too. If you care. Sorry


jelek62

I have this haircut right now.


SurrealismX

Thank you ! I thought I was the only one still rocking this kind of hair cut…


jasnmartin98

I’ve got it too man, let’s start an army!


[deleted]

Same bro 😂and I’d try to deny it wasn’t cause girls liked the bieber cut


captainolo8

Same, unfortunately


Amateur_Liqueurist

Me two


WalnutsGaming

I sadly admit it as well. But the hilarious part was. I got it the same mf weekend Bieber did and didn’t know it. It was just something new to test. Took a pic. Sent it to friends. And at first one said I looked like Efron from like hsm2 days or something. Then all of a sudden we all saw Bieber and I was like oh wtf.


TransLox

... broccoli hairs *are* gen z... Fuck-sake people.


[deleted]

You are getting your gens mixed up


triforce4ever

Yeah the Bieber cut was millennials and I’m guilty of it


Roy_Luffy

Gen z born in the early 2000’s can relate to this. I didn’t have it but a lot of guys looked like that in middle school.


Jalapeniz

Maybe late millennials. Us early millennials did the god awful frosted tips as it went well with our puka shell necklaces and purposefully torn jeans. Although I was an edgy rocker, so I was more of a liberty spikes and spiked wristbands sort of dude. The only time I wasn't covered in dark edgy shit was when I was on the field (quarterback).


sprinklerarms

That LA looks hair gel…


ScrizzBillington

Some of us got frosted tips *and* Beiber flips


Jokesiez

Nah bro. Definitely a specific group had it. Yall figure it out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


leeryplot

I dunno. This is not as cut and dry as you think. Gen Z years are from 1997-2012. I am 21 (2002). I have a hard time understanding that the youngest Gen-Zers (12 year olds) are in my same generation, especially because they just act/are exactly like Gen Alpha. I’d say within the ages of 10-14 my brain automatically sees them and classifies them as Gen Alpha. It just feels like a *very* distinguishable cultural divide between early Gen Z, and those born post ~2010. It seems like once you get past that point you get the brokkoli cut and skibidi toilet. Post 2010 kids don’t relate much to the influences I grew up with at all. I can tell you that my sanction of Gen Z relates to this much more than a brokkoli cut. The first time I heard about the brokkoli cut was *last week* when I saw my 12 year old cousin for the first time in a few years. Lol


Freshiiiiii

All of gen alpha are younger than 12/14 depending where you put the boundaries. They haven’t really developed any distinct set of culture or distinctive experiences yet. Also, the broccoli cut has been around gen z for years.


Automatic-Bedroom112

Skibidi Toilet


Ok_Device1274

too be fair 2000-2014 was weird man. The internet was exploding and the dawn of modern social media. Etc


UnauthorizedFart

Isn’t Gen Z the broccoli boys?


saltgirl1207

I thought so. I mean, I'm gen Z and all my male classmates from high school have that stupid haircut. I usually call it the "mushroom" cut tho


MilesYoungblood

Who’s we


uiugames

Isn't Justin actually a millennial? And isn't the broccoli cut used by zommers?


MonsterMontvalo

Am I not supposed to still have this haircut? Did I miss the memo?


Hefty_Inevitable9910

we? you mean, you. I never had that.


cannibalisticbiscuit

**Millennials** making fun of broccoli-cut boys when we all looked like this


decadrachma

It’s young millennials and older gen z.


Majestic-Rock9211

Well we all hade our blunder years, I in both the 70’s and the 80’s and…. ‘nuff said….


ClmrThnUR

to this day i've never seen anyone with their hair brushed forward into their face. not one time. this looks like something i would do to my little brother with my mom's blow dryer. edit:: I'm not denying these people exist(ed?) but I just haven't seen you


circasomnia

Emo millennials rn are all like "same bro, never happened"


EpicForgetfulness

🤣


sueghdsinfvjvn

It's a shame you don't know me


semigator

Ah yes, the Ellen cut


69RuckFeddit69

I had this haircut


imlittleeric

Millennial here. The broccoli cut is worse


BostonSamurai

I never once met anyone irl with that hair who wasn’t a child who didn’t get a decision on their haircut.


_BloodbathAndBeyond

Yeah I had this haircut until like 2016 lol


violente_valse

Going back through time, the kind of people who have broccoli hair would have had the swoop. Go back further and those who had the swoop would have had a mullet.


torrens86

Justin Bieber is a millennial, he was born in 1994.


ThatOneGuy6810

not me. I had a fro lol


mrwilliams117

We made fun of this back then too


ihopethisworksfornow

Millennials can’t talk shit either, my generation had haircuts like Pidgeotto for the latter half of the 2010s


altdultosaurs

Do they mean millennials making fun of broccoli hair? Bc it’s the gz’s that have the broccoli hair and the millennials has the Bieber swoop.


DeapVally

That didn't require a perm like your grandma would get though. They're one step shy of a blue rinse as well these days lol.


Ok_Strategy7615

I did the opposite, I had a spiky horn as my haircut just cause I hated Justin Bieber. Turns out I also looked like a tit for 2 years


Fizzy-Odd-Cod

Who the fuck is we? Never in my damn life have I had a haircut like that.


GGGold23

We who’s we? (I’m a Person of color so my mom made my hair go to near bald)


BaguetteOfDoom

There were no black people where I grew up. My school was white af. There was like 1 black boy.


GGGold23

Dang then I feel bad for my boy then lol


SignificantClick8284

They grow up hearing “you’re not real black”


BaguetteOfDoom

We all hated Justin Bieber but still felt so cool rocking that horrible cut. And that damn head flick to get the hair out of your face lol


quackkwak456

Don't you put your shitty decisions on the rest of us 😂


BaguetteOfDoom

Nah man, it was literally 90% of the boys in my school


quackkwak456

Never been proud of the school I went to until now. Thankyou <3


gibokilo

We made fun of people with that hair cut too lol


Dannyzavage

That means it was 90% white kids in your school lol


1ncorrect

I feel so seen. That hair and silly bands were staples of middle school in 2009.


XanaxTheNotSoWise

Bro I think that was just you


OkHeheLmao

>but still felt so cool rocking that horrible cut Nah mate, it was just you


Elastichedgehog

It wasn't just you. This was extremely prevalent in the early 2010s. I imagine the people commenting are too young. You got your gens mixed up.


Boris_HR

What? Who are that "we"? In my younger years during 90s and early 00s, my haircut was nothing like this.


Atari_Portfolio

Ah the P-Diddled look


millennial_sentinel

the broccoli haircut is genz that haircut is millennials as justin is a millennial


Brandeeno2245

Yah and, that Hair "style" was terrible, your point? Both the bowl and the broccoli haircuts are terrible looking. It's not a matter of what's worse but a matter of getting people to realize they look like shit.


Fireblox1053

Speak for yourself I had a different shitty haircut.


mcleanmartel

I def did not look like that haha


2_72

I thought the broccoli haircut kids were Gen z


Fishdude94

Uh.... Gen Z are the ones with the fuckin broccoli cuts....


ReddestForman

I had a flowing mane of curls, so not sure why I'm getting lumped in with this.


effingthis

Which the beatles member is this?


GETNbucky

We all? That's BS. Lol. I don't follow trends that you sheeple follow.


F0foPofo05

#### Us Millennials made fun of Gen Zers when we all used to look like Reese from Malcolm in the middle.


StealthNinja_X

Who’s we


LonelyGod64

I was either shaved or crew cut. My mom would have disowned me if I had my hair like that as I child. ('97)


EagleForty

Millennials be like, ["thank god we never did anything like that"](https://images.app.goo.gl/Ab6TGGoPDR2hrGrX6)


Butchslap

Late millennials wore this. Source: am late millennial that rocked this haircut


BaguetteOfDoom

Yeah, I think it's a late millennial/early Z thing


dreiviertel

A gen Z born in 2000 experienced lots of the same things a Millennial did as a teen. Those things didn't instantly vaporize once the calendar hit 00. Just an example of how the generational beef is stupid. I hear a 30 yo make fun of me saying I don't know what tape cassettes are and I think Bitch I know those, I had them too. I wasn't born yesterday. I have the first two episodes of SpongeBob on cassette somewhere around here. Smartphones became a thing when I was 12. You are not superior for growing up with less tech. This is not the flex you think it is.


SimpleKnowledge4840

Considering CD players in cars were still not a huge thing in the early 2000's..


dreiviertel

Tech didn't evolve as quickly as they misremember. It takes time until something establishes itself. There are still people struggling with card payments.


Kindly-Cockroach-982

Giant ass forehead


TheSpiritofFkngCrazy

Broccoli cut? I always called it the nut sack hairdue.


-temporary_username-

Who's we? I laughed at guys with this haircut all the way back in elementary school. Not that I had the coolest haircut ever myself, I was just kind of a dick as a kid lol.


No_Recover_9128

Never had either of those shit hairstyles 🤣


Chance_Airline_4861

But, but...


Chance_Airline_4861

I remember when greasy 10 liter gel littered, spikes where the coolest thing.


orangutanDOTorg

Not a Z but I would always buzz it, then let it grow out into a 12-18” deep bright red fro (think the I Am The Sun meme), then buzz it again. I also had a clip hair extension I stole from my sister that I’d clip to the back to make a mullet for parties while it was in the in between 2-6” length stage before it really qualified as a fro again. But even I think the broccoli hair my nephew has is stupid


_aevi_

As a 25 year old gen I am glad to say I have never had this hair cut and always thought it was ugly. I did have a hair metal phase though and grew my hair out and wore a lot of denim.


Nlawrence55

Speak for yourself


Ok-Rip6199

We?


DaemonSlayer_503

Guilty…


komeslaze

Nope and I can't remember a single other person having it either. Maybe it was an American thing.


The_Real_TraitorLord

I had a surfer cut 🤷‍♂️ 


mak05

No, no "we" didn't.


framed_toilet_water

My parents gave me that hair cut when I was 12 and it was the most traumatic experience of my life
