Oh No, It's Man Bangs
LatestRemember the heady days (GET IT?) of 2009, when man bangs last allegedly swept (GET IT?) the nation? Well buckle up, because the BANGS ARE BACK IN TOWN, BABY. (I could have said “hair to stay,” but I think that would have been a little much and frankly, a lie.)
GQ has declared that bangs are back, but are they actually? The magazine cites three examples of our modern bang resurgence: Jared Leto, Justin Bieber and Post Malone, though only Malone is sporting what can accurately be termed a “fringe,” if we’re in Britain, which we’re not, so…bangs. The other two just have sort of long hair.
If GQ is correct in its prediction that 2017 is to be the Year of the Man Bang, we should first establish what, exactly, bangs are. Here’s a short quiz.
1. How many men pictured below have bangs?
A: Zero. While both men do indeed have hair, neither have bangs.
2. In this photo ONLY, does Justin Bieber have bangs?
