I'm GenX as well. My brother had a perm for his High School graduation photo, which always elicited a little chuckle from me when I visited home and saw it framed on the wall. But you are right, people should feel free to express their own personal style without pressure.
But I kinda wish we saw more colorful clothes these days rather than all these drab earth tones. Maybe not full on eighties neon, but some diversity in clothing colors would be appealing.
I'm borderline between Gen Z and millennial. I guess this is about the "broccoli" hair. I think it might be a bit overdone, but all in, I think it looks fine, and it's neat that men really caring...
I'm borderline between Gen Z and millennial. I guess this is about the "broccoli" hair.

My older son, who's a tween, has curly hair. He doesn't really care about doing anything with his appearance, at least not yet.. I've been hyping up this hairstyle for him. I want him to feel...
My older son, who's a tween, has curly hair. He doesn't really care about doing anything with his appearance, at least not yet.. I've been hyping up this hairstyle for him. I want him to feel attractive (I'm not sure he does - having your mom say you're handsome doesn't count).
I'm GenX. My dad had a permanent for a few years. I think the photos look very silly. But, people should do what they like.
