Retro Thread

I thought this thread would be fun for people to post pictures of embarrassing hairstyles, embarrassing clothes, and anything else embarrassing from back in the day. I'll embarrass myself first. These are some of the retro hairstyles i used to rock as a kid. Man, this brings back memories! HAHA

The Box!


The Step


The Gumby Cut

 

C'mon fellas, i know some of you have had the Stoney Jackson look back in the day!

 

lol i was about to post a greasy ass jerry curl photo

I used to rock the box and the 'hustler'

every time i search for hustler pics, i get titties tho

:smt103

 

:smt042 Ah man, today's internet is a total trip isn't it. I was searching for a step haircut, and it gave me pictures of a bunch of white guys. Apparently they also have something called the step, but it doesn't look anything like our step. I wonder who really owns "The Step" rights.

 

lol

one of my uncles used to rock the cliff, after he left the Marines

must have been a big hit around the city his base was in



it's like the gumby, but it goes from front to back (instead of side to side), with an increasing slope, as it makes it way to the front

I was also searching for the 'Batman,' which was popular in the ghetto when batman first came out, in the 80s..

the bat symbol would be cut into the back of the head

 

I used to also sport "The Tail," which is a mini-afro on the back of your neck, which you eventually braid. I had the longest tail in my school LOL.

Beginning Stages of the Tail

 

Does the cliff look something like this?

 

now just reverse it

he thought it was fly tho...

back in the day, we took the block/box and just ran wit it, with different angles and shit

 

Haha....I would love to see a picture of somebody who had the Batman. I've never seen that one. We used to go crazy with the symbols and shapes and initials on the back of the head!

 

lol i wouldnt have the bawls to be seen in public, with my hair looking like a tattoo, straight outta 'Nightmare on Elm Street'

 

Haha....we did too man. I wonder if anybody will try to bring it back in style one day. I see black guys wearing Mohawks, so, anything is possible lol.

 

Heman Cartoon. Definitely retro in my lifetime lol.

 

Who remembers Kaboom cereal?

 

I remember!!

 

Before I became an upstanding member of the community.

These fine gentlemen representing the Park Village Compton Crips. (late 80s')



Kicked out of junior high and sent to a Christian school, kicked out after a year and placed back in public school. A year away from the gang influence gave me the opportunity to reinvent myself as a West Coast backpacker type.



And 21st century Saty not wanting his picture taken.

 

What makes you think you've achieved this now?

 

The Shag y'all:



This is the only shag pic I could find, and it ain't the long old school one. All they had were the shaggy hair pics with white people, but no brotha shags. But y'all know what I'm talkin' about.


This is a mini shag. My dad used to sport one. I used to have one when I was like 3 I think.

 

I guess cause dude stopped bangin'.

 

Dear God!!
