I used to get annoyed at the people cutting my hair when I'd ask for a crew cut, and they'd style it like this. It was everywhere in the late 90's / early 00s, and I was never a fan.

When it was zoomed out, I thought it was a pillbug

This is definitely one of the more ridiculous and unattractive coifs out there, and it spans generations. Ben Affleck or Alister of Dragon Age anyone?

I made fun of y'all for that too back then. With your damn yogurt colored short shorts and swordfish belts, with the Vineyard Vines shirt and sperry's topsiders and that exact haircut, that uniform was always terrible.

I'm only surprised it's the hair that's silly. I thought the standard for intergenerational mockery was leg fashion. And unless you want to get on these kids for treating pajama bottoms like sweatpants... eh.

We had tight-rolled, acid-washed jeans, so much better than sweatpants /s

Look, stupid as JNCOs are, they were intended for outdoor use. Possibly as a tent. That'd explain the size and all the carabiners.

When was this guy a kid? I'm in my 70's and only a few jocks ever wore anything like that.

c. 2001, I wager. However, if in U.S. I wager a bit later or earlier as I live in Oz (the one with marsupials).
