from Farrah to 'fro to emo

The pages of the calendar
Are flyin' off faster as I get old
And if I had a second take
I'd wanna make the same mistakes
Except for the clothes
- Smash Mouth, "Right Side, Wrong Bed"

I realized something today. Emo haircuts? They kind of make me laugh.

It's not that I find it ugly (unless you count the unwashed nerdy-goth look of My Chemical Romance), it's just that 10 years from now we'll look back on them and realise that it was a typical haircut of our decade. And by then we'll probably have come to our senses and realized that emo haircuts were in fact pretty stupid looking.

The 60s had what? Mop-tops? The 70s had afros, 80s had Farrah-hair, 90s had "The Rachel" and the [whatever we're calling this decade] will have emo haircuts.

It's kind of funny to see the evolution.

Can't imagine looking back on the clothes though *shudders at the thought*
