Undercut got popular again in early 2012 from Jimmy in Boardwalk Empire
Now its pretty popular to have the full grown beard/tats/undercut
It's a nice looking haircut, but not good on everyone's head shape. If you have a round or triangular head it won't look as good.
Cutting/tapering the sides aggressively is a good look though on almost every haircut. So even if you don't have an undercut that will look good.

You first. Don't be shy.

Yeah, I saw a making of thing one time that showed a TON of the different inspirations that were used in building Boardwalk Empire, and that was definitely a very popular haircut in the 20s.
Also, the modern "undershave" cut was huge in the 90's. So its re-emergence is probably a part of the cyclical nature of fashion which is generally 90s-ish right now anyway.

cutting hair really short and at a uniform length looks weird when it's growing back
ponytail?
people really think of this as a "nazi haircut?" You know nazis also wore pants! I guess pants are nazi fashion.

I remember hearing that during Desert Storm in '91 soldiers began shaving the sides of their heads to get a tighter fit with their gas masks.
I'm really hoping to see the flattop make a comeback.

It's just another cut. People have been doing it with the top short for decades. It's a nice looking style.

I took this photo to my hairdresser once and got her to do something similar.
Way cooler than the lanky, long hair undercuts we used to rock at high school in the 80s.

It was popular a few years before Boardwalk premiered.

That guy has the look I'm going for, can I pull that haircut off if I get it HairGaf??
Many football (soccer) players have it, i believe the particular hairstyle started gaining ground in Europe years ago and then spread
Its not the black guy from the 90s fade, its mostly done by white guys who leave hair on top, 4-6 cm, and shave the sides. Vox is used sparingly to mold the top
We call it "Elvis" hair, even though it isent, since its shaved on the sides, but it still retains the Elvis look.
There is no set way to do it, but the principles of 4-6 cm on top, and shaved sides, then you can do with it whatever you think works best for your head.
For americans, its basically the hairstyle Macklemore is running around with, it can often look like 1950's white sailor look, some can pull it off and others clearly not.
