before you run to vacancy project for your swanky lil $250 gender-neutral ‘do, please remember that people die all the time and you will occasionally be obligated and/or compelled to attend their funerals (or nondenominational remembrance ceremonies or what have you).
i have attended two funerals with a mullet-adjacent hairstyle and felt like a massive chode at both. for the second one, i attempted a skimpy ponytail and offered my condolences to the deceased’s family looking like fucking George Washington. it’s like hey I know your nephew just died but here’s a visual reminder that i listened to one le tigre song in 2014 and it ruined my entire personality forever
honestly, before any trendy body modification, we should all be asking ourselves: 1. do I mind teenagers laughing at me on the bus? and 2. can I attend a funeral with this?
