Debatable

As a gay man, I think I can say this without it being controversial, kid looks like a {redacted}.

The barber is Bohdan Vasylkov, based in Warsaw, Poland. This one in particular is posted on his Instagram as a "Neo-Saiyan Cut."
Honestly, this is probably one of the least offensive ones lmao.
He's actually doing some really new and interesting things. Probably none of it is going to catch on as a look, but it's unique.
Also, a lot of the cuts look interesting because of how he shaves it. A week or two after the cut and it will lose the effect - another reason why none of these will trend.

Ain't no controversy. I see a teen with hair like that and I know they're the opposite of cool. It tells me immediately to never cross paths with them if I am ever near any lockers.

What is there to debate? I couldn't care less about someone else's haircut.
This type only lasts a few weeks anyway, after that it will just look uniformly short.

Yeah that was my first thought after getting over the weirdness of it, "How manageable is this hair going to be after getting home and later as it grows out?"

lol, kids these days and their stupid tastes, amirite?
What blows my mind is when stupid shit like this comes back into vogue. I lived through so much cringe the first time, and I loathe doing it all over again.
Not that I'm the height of fashion or anything, myself. If not for my wife, I'd be wearing long white tube socks with my shorts.

I remember thinking "these fucking mulletted hicks" when we moved to missouri and I was a little kid, like 6..... but had never seen a full on mullet IRL, then was suddenly surrounded by them all ages and not just the boys either.

I'm the opposite, I say bring on the stupid shit and do it often! Life's short and looking kinda silly on purpose sometimes is fun. My most recent foray into such was a mustache large enough to be mocked by my daughter's soccer teammates, first practice, basically on sight hahaha. Causing her to cry (and me to shave it, lol, but it was fun while it lasted, and I don't intend to further traumatize her with sartorial silliness).

This is actually a trend now. Gen Z is about it, and judges the old heads for ankle sock

Whatever will they all think when I avoid both trends and wear no socks at all?
Probably that my feet stink, I guess.

I think it's what they're calling it "the Gen Z Stare."

I'd be kinda pleased if it were largely a rejection of performative positivity, one of the theories presented. I think we could all stand to be a bit more honest with each other about how things are going. Actually I think it's probably necessary, if we're ever going to meaningfully change.
I do worry about the ways the COVID pandemic (another theory) interrupted social development for an enormous number of kids, just huge. Though to be clear I was in favor of pretty strict, sweeping measures to limit spread, and don't feel differently today.
I bristled a bit at first, on the mention of "quiet quitting" - AKA behaving perfectly rationally, given the available opportunities and treatment today, by my measure. But the (still Wikipedia) article it links to is a solid overview of a collective action tactic, so hell yeah.
e: can't help but elaborate sometimes

"No show" socks have been a thing for quite some time, so...?

Maybe I'm just too high, but I'm a bit annoyed that her soccer teammates are such mean girls. Like, I know teenage girls are stupid mean, but that's gotta be pretty tough for her to have such judgemental "friends".

It all worked out, but I appreciate your defensiveness! It was a mixed group, 'twas the lads cracking jokes, and not even to her - she's a sensitive one (which I love). The funniest part is the coach wore a silly (admittedly less silly) mustache the whole season, his son was one of the goobers cracking jokes, and everyone actually really got along great over the season.
On the other hand, the kinda stuff you're describing does happen, and my kiddo has already had to extract herself from a friend group that was heading solidly in that direction. No bueno! Bad parenting by crappy people usually, in my experience.

Flip flop gang! I wear actual shoes maybe 10% of days

Link is a Rick roll isn't it?

This isn't really the gen Z stare, I'd describe that as a very neutral expression.
Honestly I don't actually think the Gen Z stare has much to do with the internet or COVID either, as much as it's just something that caught on among people in school. I think another large element is that Gen Z culturally a lot less judgemental of people who don't mask autistic traits.
The general nodding and 'mmhmm'ing we do to affirm we're paying attention is something that's effectively a social contract, although useful. The flip side of the Gen Z stare that people don't talk about is that Gen Z also don't mind recieving the Gen Z stare, and can converse through it.

Actually I retract, it's real: Bohdan Vasylkov, a Ukrainian barber. He has an Instagram page and the images are heavily post processed I suppose.
