Gray Hair

Long ago, I reached a point in my life where I could openly criticize the stupid trends of today's youth. It's a part of my 20's I have not looked forward to but got to very early in my 20's (Which just confirms my suspicions that I'm really just some sort interdimensional grandpa capable of transcending time and space).  If you have read this blog at all the last few years, you'll find that it is indeed ripe with complaints about the problems of the savagely inept generations that have proceeded mine. 

So without further ado, let's jump into it. What the fuck is with all these chicks changing their hair color to gray? That's like looking directly at the concept of youth and spitting in it's face. Sure you could argue that this fights our youth obsessed culture's values. It's hip to look gray and young. 

Um, why? You have literally the 2nd half of your life to look forward to all the gray you want. You'll have so much gray hair, you won't even know what to do with it. I can't say that I personally dig this look. There is something vaguely Freudian about finding a gray haired woman attractive, as if anyone might have thought "I would totally jump on a grandma if only they looked younger in the face." What about all these young puberty stricken guys out there? For the rest of their lives they will have several confusion-based boners. They will growing thinking women with gray hair are hot. They will be walking around in their 20's/30's/40's and see a skinny gray haired lady from the distance from the back. Only to find it's an elderly lady who is as wrinkled as time itself. They will perhaps question themselves "Am I attracted to women in gray hair or do I really have a thing for old ladies?" (Also insert other stereotypical males are dumb/vaguely sexist/inderscernibly offensive jokes) 

There are millions of old people who are dying their hair the original color their hair actually was because gray hair sucks. You're literally spitting in the face of the elderly. As if to say "Yeah, we know have energy, strength, tight skin, white teeth and vibrant hair. But fuck it. We don't want it. Let's just skip to the end and dye my hair gray." I'm sure that's what these hot rogues are thinking. So like today's generation. Don't want to work for that sweet gray hair and loose bowels. Gotta have it now. 

To be honest this is probably one fad that won't last long anyway. When we look back on this time in the future for satire and spoofing by obnoxious washed up celebrities, the gray hair trend will shine bright again. Followed by the usually comments of "What were they thinking?!" I'm sure there is some sort of explanation for this that I'm way too out of tune with the young people to get. I'm happy living in my bubble of ignorance so I can remark how my generation was cool. My generation was all about dudes wearing girl pants, emo haircuts, skateboard products, and pretending to be a stoner.  

Yeah. 

That was the real ticket to cool right there.
