Thread: R.I.P. Bagmaster

Ha. I remember my friend singing the lumberjack song in high school.

Btw, I wish the whole man bun thing would go away. It's just a little too much. Kind of like naming your kid Jax.

Back in the '60s if a man wore an earring it was in the left ear. The right ear was a different story. So in the mid '80s I pulled into a gas station and there was a masculine looking fellow with earrings in BOTH ears. First time I ever saw it. This was before they took to wearing earrings the size of baby moon hub caps.

Wasn't but a few years ago I saw the bun on a guy. Couldn't figure it out. Didn't know whether he was a tight end or a wide receiver. I guess each generation has to go through their silliness. With mine it was long hair, beads, bell bottoms.

Sadly I think cultural emasculation of the male will continue. This lumbersexual thing makes perfect sense in my mind given the current cultural shift. I doubt most young men sporting their bushy beards even know why it appeals to them to do that. Clearly though, in an emasculated world, it's one of their last bastions of masculinity to be able to profess.

I think it is the 'reality' show Duck Dynasty. Back in the early '90s tattooed armbands were popular and guys would get barbed wire around the bicep. Some famous (at that time) female'super' model got a barbed wire armband. Next thing you know girls are coming into tattoo shops in droves asking, "Do you have barbed wire arm bands?" Herd mentality stuff.

Watch the videos on this Dinty Moore site. They're hilarious!!!

You nailed it- "Herd Mentality". Many folks in this day and age have no sense of self, so they cling to others style and social senses. For a large part people are sheep. They will do everything someone else does, all the while claiming how different and "unique" they are.

Yup, the flannel and bushy beards really shout how masculine they are, however the jeans they are wearing were made for a lady and the bun in their hair says something different as well.
