Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?

    It’s partly because of Top Gun and some other recent pop culture occurrence I can’t recall off the top of my head. But yeah, I know several people at work who recently started doing it as well, and one of them mentioned that as their inspiration. I’m guessing a few started bc of that and more followed suit, because why not or something.

      No one here did it because of Top Gun lol… I think it just came hand in hand with the mullet being back in fashion

        You’d be surprised. Just Google it, there are tons of pop magazines and websites that discuss it and how it was trending on TikTok for awhile after the movie came out. And just to add, most fads begin with celebrities/influencers starting them across the various age demographics.
