I've always associated a shaved head with white supremacy anyway.

No? "Woman with undercut and brightly dyed hair" is a shorthand altright/neo nazis use for the scary ess-jay-dubyas.

I've never in my life heard this

Like, I get what you're saying but "woman with undercut and brightly dyed hair" isn't shorthand for anything. It's a full phrase. They would just say "SJW's"

 

[TurnipFritters]

Did you just make that up or what?

There's definitely been a few people here and there I've seen on the Internet mad about people dying their hair neon colors saying they're just doing it for attention. Just a vocal minority/old person thing, I'm sure.

I think it's lame more often than not, but eh, whatever.

 

[SonicXtreme]

So an extremely popular mens haircut is extremely popular in a group largely populated by men? I cant believe it.

seriously, we're even discriminating people based on hair styles now? calling someone ugly is one thing, jumping to conclusions about the kind of person they are based on their haircut...goddamn, take a step back people.

 

[dh4niel]

Can't they just have the top knot and call it a day?

 

[Hoo-doo]

It is. But who's going to read that article.
Way more fun to associate one of the most popular hairstyles in the western world with neo-nazism.

I mean fuck, I don't have an undercut and i'm getting heated at the stupidity of this. It's freaking hair. Nazis and white supremacists generally shave their heads or rock a buzz cut, everyone knows this.

You're joshin' me, right?

 

[Azazzel]

I call that haircut the "it's just a joke bro" haircut.

 

[Ryde3]

This is so stupid.

All sorts of people with different beliefs have different hairstyles. Am I nazi cause I shave my head? fuck off OP.

 

[demon]

So I'm a little confused at what people are talking about exactly. Does having the hair really short around the side of your head make you a nazi or not? How short can one have it without being a nazi?

 

[Crayons]

You're joshin' me, right?

He's serious. Alt Reich people associate brightly coloured hair with the evil SJWs, who want to exterminate every white male

I think this whole thing is because that guy that got punched had an undercut.

 

[JimiNutz]

The only problem with this is that half of the black people I know also have a shaved head so it's all very confusing.

Black and shaved head = Cool?
White and shaved head = Nazi?
Completely bald = Buddhist?

It's all bullshit. Hopefully people will just wear whatever hair they want and not worry about a haircut incorrectly identifying their political opinions to others...

Can confirm, it's baffling but prevalent

 

[Audioboxer]

There's like what 6 or 7 billion plus people around these days? I think haircuts are the least of anyones concerns. If you ask me a complete you do you situation.

Sure, some cuts can be mildly amusing or not suit an individual but it's... hair.

just fyi, Being a nazi makes you a nazi

not having a haircut

 

[Sykotik]

I just started getting an undercut after years of struggling to find a style that I felt happy with.

Fuck it, I ain't changin' shit.

 

[cartographer]

It's partly about how you style it. When you aren't styling it exactly like Richard Spencer does, the connotation isn't as strong and immediate.

I move away from the undercut for other reasons, and I never styled it the same way (my hair just will never be that straight or thin), but I do get that vibe from people sometime.

I wouldn't put fade-adjacent stuff or crops in the same category though. That's usually what people are sporting nowadays anyway.

 

[TurnipFritters]

Your hair doesn't make you a nazi, holding the same beliefs/goals as nazis makes you a nazi. However, people are more and more associating the undercut with neo nazis/alt right because The Nazi Who Got Punched Right In The Face has one, and there is concern by people who have a similar haircut that they'll be mistaken for a neo nazi.

Some folks cite historical precedent (it's the hitler youth haircut!!!!) but that sort of ignores that it was a popular hairstyle globally in the 30s, 40s and 50s, including places that were not nazi Germany or taken over by nazi Germany.

 

[dohdough]

No, hipsters ruined it, as well as beards. Adoption by white supremacy types is just an indication if it's demise in popular culture.

God, I hope so. I always though it looked stupid and the only people that didn't look stupid in them were in gangs(for the obvious reason that they would beat my ass lol)

 

[Netherscourge]

Here's the sad reality.

The majority of Alt-Right minded people are as generic-looking as anyone else.

The ones that are crazy enough to actually admit it are the ones that look militant.

The rest of them just blend right in with the rest of the population.

I wouldn't get too hung-up on appearances and haircuts. Most of them look just like you and me and everyone else.

I'd say a 3 on the sides just to be safe

 

[FallingEdge]

man if you look good with it, rock it.

I have a top knot with the sides shaved, I love it.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I'd say a 3 on the sides just to be safe

1 or gtfo

 

[Lulubop]

1 or gtfo

No he's asking what number is safe.

 

[Orpheus]

just fyi, Being a nazi makes you a nazi

not having a haircut

I'm not going to assume someone is a Nazi because of their hair, but I won't begrudge any minority for being wary around someone with a haircut that has been known as the "Hitler Youth". It may have been universally popular in the 1930s, but it has definitely had an association with Nazism.

 

[freenudemacusers]

No he's asking what number is safe.

Yeah that number is 1 or 0

 

[nitewulf]

just fyi, Being a nazi makes you a nazi

not having a haircut

basically. i have the undercut, it suits my face and i like it. my hair up top is also pretty long now, enough for a man bun.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

Nothing wrong with this at all.

Spoiler

what the fuck?

It's a survival tactic.

 

[RMI]

it was always a stupid haircut. they can have it.

yup. nothing of value is being lost.

 

[John Kowalski]

I personally really dislike this haircut.

 

[Acinixys]

Since we don't use hats anymore, have to go with the next best.

?

 

[FallingEdge]

Yeah that number is 1 or 0

exactly, going a 3 is no bueno

 

[Mohonky]

I had a massive undercut as a teenager of the 90's. I'm currently growing my hair longer again and will likely get an undercut at some point. Aint letting no Nazis ruin my love of luscious long lockes tickling my shaven underside.

 

[Bri]

Basically the haircut of every non bald(ing) Swedish guy between 16 and 30 years old. We're all nazis without even knowing it! Oy vey.

 

[cjp]

This fucking article.

Of course, not all men with an undercut are Alt-Right, and not all neo-Nazis have an undercut. In fact, white supremacists have historically appropriated some of their most enduring iconography from non-whites — like British skinheads with Jamaican rudeboys or German Nazis with the Indian swastika. But when women have limited tools for recognizing dang

Supposed to be highlighting how white supremacists are appropriating the undercut but completely ignores the fact they did the same with skinheads - indeed the quote above equates all British skinhrad culture with white supremacy.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Fuck off are they having my haircut. The undercut has been big with long hair with the metal scene locally for a long ass time and coming from that, I went towards a very similar cut when I decided to drop the longer hair side of it. Had it for years now, maybe even a little bit before it started fully taking off as a fashion again. Not giving it to them fuck wits to have that win.

Also it's a fashion that has come and gone a good few times. It doesn't and won't belong to them and their ilk.

 

[Ryuuroden]

I sport a version of the Princeton style haircut

 

[Zasa]

I'd really like to see you guys who say the cut looks ugly to post pictures of your own current haircuts.

I use the undercut simply because it looks good on me and I like it. It looks great on many others too.

This.

But damn, all those football players including Messi are Nazi's as well I guess. Who would've thought.

 

[God Dayumm]

exactly, going a 3 is no bueno

Length #3 would make me look like Krusty the clown. 2 tops, but preferably 1

 

[TheOohChild]

Is it time to bring back the rat-tail?

 

[Mr Git]

I'm fine with never getting an undercut again. It's where most of my hair lives.

 

[highrider]

God, I hope so. I always though it looked stupid and the only people that didn't look stupid in them were in gangs(for the obvious reason that they would beat my ass lol)

I don't think it looks bad, particularly if you have a strong jaw and more angular features. My issue with it is that it's kind of beaten to death. Every single white guy between 15 and 45 in Washington DC is rocking some variant with a beard. It's just like, c'mon ya lemmings.

 

[johancruijff]

Wait are you all actually serious?

You "screen" dudes with undercuts?

My daily wut

 

[Geist-]

Fuck this, I'm not going to stop wearing a haircut just because some racists decide it looks good on them.

Why are we letting Nazis appropriate whatever they want with no resistance?

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Kim Jong Un ruined it first.

Gaf hates any man who showers regularly and maintains good hygiene.

The funny thing is they literally aren't doing anything. It's not even that popular of a haircut amongst nazi's it's just knee jerk public reaction

 

[ShiroAmakusa]

Don't know about the experience of my fellow German GAFiosi, but this hairstyle will be, very unfortunately, always connected with Nazis.

Besides the predominantly represented shaved heads, these are the most popular hairstyles on every Nazi gathering:

Of course there is always someone sporting the full blown Hitler, too:

As someone who's getting in trouble with Nazis for more than half my life, most of these are red flags to me if spotted. :/

 

[Pops Maellard]

Maybe neo-nazi's should start adapting cargo shorts as their look.

I would imagine that alt-right and wearers of cargo pants have a decidedly noticeable overlap

 

[Lulubop]

Yeah that number is 1 or 0

exactly, going a 3 is no bueno

Dudes, he's asking what's a safe number not to be considered undercut. Jeez, read his post.
