What is with these kids?

All three of these kids play(ed) for Hoover High school in Alabama. Two of the three have the same haircut. Let me refraze that, every teenage boy in the town has the same damn haricut. I don't get it. How does an entire town decide to have the same haircut?

I mean its there are fads (who didn't have lines shaved into their head growing up? I know i did), But how does a town decide to all have a haircut that hasn't been cool since, oh say 1962.

If you can't tell from the picture, cause it is a shitty one. Two-thirds of that photo has the long swooping bangs that the Beatles had when they played at Shea.

Really, this boggles my mind how a small town in Alabama can share a love for emo bangs. And where did this come from? What was (to borrow from Gladwell) the tipping point for the bangs? Did "We are the Beatles" become really popular two years ago in Alabama.

As far as i could tell this entire operation is nothing more than two sober guys with the intent of amusing themselves (and ryan), which may or may not contain a basement.

Me and my boyz have dubbed that do "the Alabama haircut". You go anywhere in the south, especially near SEC football, and that haircut will be visible in any direction. Except at Florida, where you'll see both the Alabama and the Miami, which is gelled spikes combined with a finely trimmed chinstrap.
