0:00 [Music] Speaking of El Salvador, they recently have a new um thing.

Tiff, >> you don't see guys like this around. >> I do. Uh especially where Jill Moms lives >> and I want to shake my fist >> all over. >> Yeah, it's like a huge like >> those are the guys that I think I get bullied by. >> Yeah, but why why would they ban a haircut? >> Yeah. What's the >> I could tell you why. I think it's probably because they're hoodlums. >> You associate Yeah. the haircut with hoodlm behavior and then so there's that

0:50 whole like, you know, behavior uh psychology cycle. So they're like, "If we can maybe eliminate the way they look, they don't look like that, then maybe they'll behave less like that." >> I feel like people always mess this up because when we were teenagers, the more forbidden it was, the more you wanted to do it cuz that's officializing the badness of it. How you make that whack is make the boomers and the older people start doing it. >> If the principal had that, >> dude, no one would have it anymore. That's that's totally true. Cuz remember like in our era it was having the the bangs that go over the rest of your head. They banned that. >> Yep. Baggy pants. Dude, if old people started dressing like us, I would have been like >> off. >> That'd be hilarious. >> That's actually a really good ploy.

1:40 >> I'm like, dude, we got to come up with our own style now. Like they're taking it over. >> Or they just have to like they just have to pay the most unpopular weirdo in school to start looking like that and everyone's going to be like, "We got to move on." And then that weirdo just gets beat up to a full and be like, "It's done, dude." >> No, it's got to be It's got to be the authority cuz imagine you had a principal that had a big white tea and then big jeans and he was sagging and then he had a fade with ████ bangs. >> No one. And no one would want that ever again. >> Neither nor would his wife. Nor would >> Yeah. >> I mean, that's the best thing to do, dude. And then he sits on the school steps like you know ████ in like that Asian squat with the fake >> yo y no yo he's >> Yeah. He's trying to connect with the kids the kids are like ████ ████ >> Yeah. That haircut is is Yeah. They're they're saying that's because it's it's

2:31 associated with gangs and they just don't want that image. And if you even look at like a lot of recent mug shots even in East LA or some ████ or even takeover ████ It's full of Edgars. Dude, >> the funny thing is it looks like so unthreatening. I feel like our era haircuts were like you're ████ bald and you're you just killed someone and you don't want any DNA out there so that's why you're like you're bald, right? Or like it's like really meant some hardcore >> frost tip the ends of your base >> cuz you need a little hair. >> Yeah. So it's breaking off as you do your crimes. >> Yeah. >> The Edgar doesn't even look aggressive at least to our generation. >> But when there's a group of them that's when you know they're like to me they're like coyotes and ████ You see one you're like all right. When there's a group of them, you're like, "Oh, these are guys are dangerous. They're up to no good." >> Like little hyenas. >> It just It just feels like a lot of ininoi mushrooms running around to me.

3:21 >> Yeah, cuz I have no cultural context for that. So, it just looks like a nerd haircut. >> It just looks like a bird. >> It just looks like a ball cut. >> Yeah, it does. Until you see like a ton of them looting a 7-Eleven. >> But they're all shaped like ininoi mushrooms, though. >> They're all little tiny guys. >> That guy looks British. >> Which guy? >> Oh, yeah. British guys like it, too. Yeah, they do. Edgars over there. >> I think like a lot of just like kind of hood ass like >> what would you call that haircut? Is this like a >> I think you got to get that pimple that he has too. >> Yeah, right in the middle. >> Oh, that's very British like monk almost. >> Yeah, that looks hella right. >> That fool look like he ████ digs >> at like chapels and ████ or something. >> He just need to shave this hole right here. >> Yeah, it looks like a cleric. >> Yeah, he probably has healing properties. >> His name is Astan. Apple Stan.

4:12 >> Love Apple Stan. What a guy. >> But I feel like I feel like we've officially arrived. You know what I mean? Like we've we've officially done a lap and now we're those guys that are making fun of this the way we were getting made fun of in high school. You know what I mean? Like you know, like uh the way everyone was like, "Look at this guy with his crazy blonde hair." You know, like now it's like weird the guys going, "Look at this stupid idiot right here." But then to them it's like that's just mad normal, you know? Like they're not all gangsters. That's just how it looks. You know, but then you know, we've officially we're now the dads. >> I know. >> But the Edgar haircut to me is just like it's not one way I've ever seen it like look appealing. >> Maybe I just I just can't grow my hair. >> Maybe you're not into kids yet. >> But some people stick with the times >> allegedly. You know, like some guys like

5:02 and girls like they they they keep up like I don't know like they look young with their style still. They could be 40, 50, whatever. >> Those are called Asians. >> Oh, okay.

There's like >> they look like grandpa. >> All the designers of street wear look like that. >> Yeah, that's true. >> They got like colored brim glasses. They look all cool and >> but that's like the difference to me is that the Edgar ████ is the mo because I think today now we live in a society that's so global >> that so many people look like that >> but back in our day you didn't know what the people in the next state looked like. >> That's true. And we had distinct styles. >> Yeah. But then you have like people copying the one guy that's like the most popular. So there Oh, that's who I got to be like. But it's the influence is

5:53 too wide now. before. It's like you you go to rave and you meet people from another county, you're like, "Who the ████ are these guys?" >> That's you know what I mean? >> I'm I'm scared when Ta has ████ >> I want to look like this. I'm like, "Okay, fine. Show me. What do you want?" And I look I'm like, "Oh god, he look ████ ████." God, but I got to respect his his choices, you know? I'm like, "Fine.
