I think I'll never get used to young white people wearing mustaches and it's not the 70s nor Halloween.

@David There's a 20-something guy around here who proudly sports a large handlebar moustache and wears fitted (often, floral), retro shirts with giant collars. Personally, it lifts my spirits to see younger folks being so defiantly themselves!
One day I might pluck up the courage to ask him where he gets those shirts from. 😏
@ApostateEnglishman I don't really call following the latest fashion trend regardless of how ridiculous it looks "being yourself" but if it lifts your spirits.
@David Well, I haven't seen anyone, let alone another 20-something, with a proper handlebar moustache around here. Nor have I seen anyone that age wearing 1970s-style shirts. Maybe the youth moustache fashion is confined to whichever region you're living in.
@David That and mullets too. And they aren't wearing these things ironically either. Just sporting a mustache because they think it looks good.
@mariellequinton Mullets?! 😱 The kids are not alright.
@David They have slightly fancier names for it and different variations like the modern mullet and lettuce hair, but yeah. Hairstyles that we would've also called "hockey hair", because it's short in front but long enough to kind of curl out of a hockey helmet at the back. There was so much of this at the winter Olympics. https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2026/feb/21/salad-praise-how-ice-hockeys-lettuce-hair-is-winning-over-hollywood

@mariellequinton Oh yes, I saw some of those among tourists.
@David the Euromoustache (that every other young man had in 1980s) seems to be making a comeback, it might be linked to (misplaced) nostalgia for these decades, even from lads who weren't even alive then...
