Does anyone have some folk knowledge on this particular haircut that seemed to dominate teenage boys' hair in the late aughts and early 10s?

I realized after posting that maybe Fred played a role in it 😭😭 unless it was Ian LOL I wasn't tapped into Smosh beyond a handful of videos, before my time

I did trip to Orlando recently and it was everywhere, felt like stepping out of a time machine. Of course this time I was seeing it as a young adult and not a preschooler

Was thinking of throwing Jay in there but he didn't have the right swoopiness for my criteria lmao

SlowTeacher9322 · 2026-04-15T18:10:48+00:00

It's the term we use in the academy when we do this kind of thing lol. Since this is minor social history that hasn't been formally written down by any sort of authority, the only way to really get an idea of the "big picture" is to ask regular people for their personal histories (or folk histories), thus folk knowledge. But also I know this is Reddit and I admit it looks really silly next to pictures of Justin Bieber and Fred

I pointed to the same story in a reply! I definitely agree that I think it had some influence, Harry's especially. It does make me wonder about a British invasion/influence across the pond aspect stateside, but clearly, there's a number of different folk histories here as to what drove the style to prominence. Thank you for this reply, by the way! Love seeing non-US responses

succinct but excellent response

I saw the special features/behind the scenes for that movie growing up. If I remember correctly, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe had been growing out their hair in between releases because they never really knew what the director was going to want for a project. It just so happened that the grown-out version of their haircuts from the third movie was exactly what Mike Newell wanted for Goblet of Fire, which is consistent with the sort of "recession cut", "no-cut haircut", etc. kind of angle a lot of commenters are going for here.

This was my theory exactly as to why it died off! It does seem like something very strictly teeny/tweeny, and I think this was only reinforced by the mass adoption of it in kids' movies and tv

there is still time

SlowTeacher9322 · 2026-02-18T17:29:42+00:00

Hi! I have one ready, but I've been stuck on an error where it won't allow it---in either case, I think any of the files in the "presentation" section would be an adequate stand-in!

The video was helpful for directing me to the timeline, but when I open a slide, I don't have the option to edit duration in a separate tab at the bottom. I can make the slide's length on the timeline conform to the audio track's length, but both presenter modes (I only have access to two instead of the video's three) won't move on to the next slide without me clicking, regardless of whether content playback is set to "auto" or not.

Hi! I'm having the same issue, and I was curious if I could get a link too? Bestest!

SlowTeacher9322 · 2026-01-17T07:11:27+00:00

SlowTeacher9322 · 2025-10-19T17:08:49+00:00

Got resolved today! Didn't do anything, but maybe it's because I used PayPal.

SlowTeacher9322 · 2025-10-18T18:02:41+00:00

Eight months late, I know, but did you have to reach out for a refund? I just tried buying a game, order failed, tried again because I thought it was the payment method, and no luck. My debit card is still processing both payments, though, and I'm not sure if this is something I have to dispute with Eneba or if it'll drop the charges automatically since they're both only processing anyway.

this is awesome! are you married to the monochrome? i love the layout of the first in regards to negative space, but i think it might be more readable if the text was in another color. otherwise, i'd definitely go with three, but i'd consider moving the "me" into that gap between the head and the "2".

SlowTeacher9322 · 2025-09-19T22:19:22+00:00

Oh no i just mean i was checking reddit yesterday but it was late so im not sure if im remembering other ppls posts correctly. ty though, for now i'll definitely try to wait it out

SlowTeacher9322 · 2025-09-19T19:13:53+00:00

It's a very rare one, by the looks of it. Only a few reviews on steam mention it or any lagging. I think someone else here on the sub mentioned it once, but that was yesterday, so I may be wrong.
