WHY?!

I get it. You like music. You’re “different.” Your teenage years have been “awkward.” But why? Tousled man hair is one of the sexiest things on earth but instead you gel down your bangs to cover your eyes. Please make this stop. I get your music (I listen to most of it myself), I get that life is tough sometimes but please, please stop with this.

Women aren’t exempt. The “exaggerated mullet” look has become quite popular among the myspace crowd.

Yet again, why?!

Also, why are you taking pictures of yourself in your underpants? That’s another story all-together.

So, joining ugg boots in my vault of things I can’t stand: emo hair.

That man is a god. And artistic. And “affected.” And still beautiful in all of his disheveled affectedness.

Quintessential edgy look without going overboard. She still looks absolutely beautiful and natural while still maintaining her edge.

So, please tame it back with the hair gel and the chunky highlights.
