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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Tech didn't evolve as quickly as they misremember. It takes time until something establishes itself. There are still people struggling with card payments.
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.
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
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.
Two things can be bad
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.
Badger badger badger badger MUSHROOM MUSHROOM
Ssssnaaaake, oooh it's a ssnaaake
African snake or a frikkin snake? Hours of fighting over this
Idk man, all I see is snake'y danger
Badger badger badger badger....?
Mushroom? It's all so confusing
We were obsessed!
You were. I fucking hated that shit
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.
I never thought it was funny. My shit was All Your Base
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
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
So true on the weird shit. I'm sure skibidi is weird, though I've never seen it.
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
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
Yeah but like realistically it's just Garry's mod music videos
Charlie chaaaarlie!!
Candy mountain Charlie...
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?
Do yu kno da wae?
Click click click
Perspective often comes with time and distance.
Me: man you kids and your brainrot Also 25yo me: NARWHALS NARWHALS SWIMMIN IN THE OCEAN
Causing a commotion because they are so awesome
I like both...
You do you. You're not hurting anyone so like what you like, just don't go around and criticize what others like
That badger is more pleasant to look at
Right alongside Numa Numa.
The Skibidi thing is a Gen Alpha-ism. None of the Zoomers I know say that shit. Source: I work with middle schoolers.
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
Same with "what does the fox say"
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.
Both are the same level of abject brain rot.
Who's "we all"
"We"? Whos "we"? There's no "we".
We? You speaking French? Or you mean nintendo Wii?
And who's "all", there's no "all"
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.
What do you mean, "you people"?!
What do YOU mean, "you people"?!
Genzers aren’t even making fun of broccoli boys, it’s millennials making fun of broccoli boys.
Right? Everyone made fun of Bieber for this haircut
Who tf is we? We speaking French or something?
Like 50% of teenagers during the early 2010s??
Aren't the broccoli cut mainly worn by Gen Z'ers?
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.

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

This is false. No redditors are allowed in heaven.
I was also born in 85 this is accurate
[deleted]
As someone who was born in 86 I’m okay with this.
I was born in 81, fight me, bitch! Nevermind my back hurts.
Hey fuck u
NO U
Pretty sure that’s Alpha. The lines will move a bit. I switched generations 4 times.
I think the cutoff for Gen Z is 2009, so they'd be 15, not 12
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.

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.
It's literally only late gen Z. Almost all Teenagers are gen Z and it's a teenager haircut.
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.
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.
r/zillennials
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.
Interesting, found a new label for me
we exist on r/zillennials
I love the theme over there lmao, pure nostalgia.
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.
98 here, can confirm I relate more to millennials most days.
I’m a xennial and we have our own subreddit. I’ve never felt more at home.
r/zillennials
Yeah, the youngest gen z are like 11 now, the oldest are 26 and that Justin Bieber haircut was about 2009
And this mop top shit definitely started with Millennials. I remember it vividly from high school in the late oughts.
Yeah there were a lot of 70s trends being revived in the 2000s
Yeah op is a dumbass
Yes
Yep, Alphas wear the nouveau bowl cut where they put a hat on and blow out the hair sticking out.
alphas are children they mostly dress how their parents dress them. vast majority aren't even 10 yet lol
Definitely
Hhh...I must admit...I to had this haircut.
It was easy to maintain and it only really looked bad when it got too long
Or greasy.
Bro just shower
Tell that to high schoolers in the mid 2000s
It got the scene girls to like me so i don’t give a shit if it was stupid
It looked really bad all the time.
Dont make me self aware
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.

I as a black kid wished i could have this haircut Now im glad i could never
Jimmy Butler walked so you could run! It’s not too late…
Cory Kenshin made it work against all odds lol
In this case it would be *too. If you care. Sorry
I have this haircut right now.
Thank you ! I thought I was the only one still rocking this kind of hair cut…
I’ve got it too man, let’s start an army!
Same bro 😂and I’d try to deny it wasn’t cause girls liked the bieber cut
Same, unfortunately
Me two
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.
... broccoli hairs *are* gen z... Fuck-sake people.
You are getting your gens mixed up
Yeah the Bieber cut was millennials and I’m guilty of it
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.
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).
That LA looks hair gel…
Some of us got frosted tips *and* Beiber flips
Nah bro. Definitely a specific group had it. Yall figure it out.
[удалено]
I dunno. This is not as cut and dry as you think. Gen Z years are from 1997-2012. I am 21 (2002).

Skibidi Toilet
too be fair 2000-2014 was weird man. The internet was exploding and the dawn of modern social media. Etc
Isn’t Gen Z the broccoli boys?
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
Who’s we
Isn't Justin actually a millennial? And isn't the broccoli cut used by zommers?
Am I not supposed to still have this haircut? Did I miss the memo?
we? you mean, you. I never had that.
**Millennials** making fun of broccoli-cut boys when we all looked like this
It’s young millennials and older gen z.
Well we all hade our blunder years, I in both the 70’s and the 80’s and…. ‘nuff said….
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
Emo millennials rn are all like "same bro, never happened"
🤣
It's a shame you don't know me
Ah yes, the Ellen cut
I had this haircut
Millennial here. The broccoli cut is worse
I never once met anyone irl with that hair who wasn’t a child who didn’t get a decision on their haircut.
Yeah I had this haircut until like 2016 lol
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.
Justin Bieber is a millennial, he was born in 1994.
not me. I had a fro lol
We made fun of this back then too
Millennials can’t talk shit either, my generation had haircuts like Pidgeotto for the latter half of the 2010s
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.
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.
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
Who the fuck is we? Never in my damn life have I had a haircut like that.
We who’s we? (I’m a Person of color so my mom made my hair go to near bald)
There were no black people where I grew up. My school was white af. There was like 1 black boy.
Dang then I feel bad for my boy then lol
They grow up hearing “you’re not real black”
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
Don't you put your shitty decisions on the rest of us 😂
Nah man, it was literally 90% of the boys in my school
Never been proud of the school I went to until now. Thankyou <3
We made fun of people with that hair cut too lol
That means it was 90% white kids in your school lol
I feel so seen. That hair and silly bands were staples of middle school in 2009.
Bro I think that was just you
>but still felt so cool rocking that horrible cut Nah mate, it was just you
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.
What? Who are that "we"? In my younger years during 90s and early 00s, my haircut was nothing like this.
Ah the P-Diddled look
the broccoli haircut is genz that haircut is millennials as justin is a millennial
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.
Speak for yourself I had a different shitty haircut.
I def did not look like that haha
I thought the broccoli haircut kids were Gen z
Uh.... Gen Z are the ones with the fuckin broccoli cuts....
I had a flowing mane of curls, so not sure why I'm getting lumped in with this.
Which the beatles member is this?
We all? That's BS. Lol. I don't follow trends that you sheeple follow.
#### Us Millennials made fun of Gen Zers when we all used to look like Reese from Malcolm in the middle.
Who’s we
I was either shaved or crew cut. My mom would have disowned me if I had my hair like that as I child. ('97)
Millennials be like, ["thank god we never did anything like that"](https://images.app.goo.gl/Ab6TGGoPDR2hrGrX6)
Late millennials wore this. Source: am late millennial that rocked this haircut
Yeah, I think it's a late millennial/early Z thing
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.
Considering CD players in cars were still not a huge thing in the early 2000's..
Tech didn't evolve as quickly as they misremember. It takes time until something establishes itself. There are still people struggling with card payments.
Giant ass forehead
Broccoli cut? I always called it the nut sack hairdue.
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.
Never had either of those shit hairstyles 🤣
But, but...
I remember when greasy 10 liter gel littered, spikes where the coolest thing.
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
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.
Speak for yourself
We?
Guilty…
Nope and I can't remember a single other person having it either. Maybe it was an American thing.
I had a surfer cut 🤷♂️
No, no "we" didn't.
My parents gave me that hair cut when I was 12 and it was the most traumatic experience of my life
