Ja sam putio jer ništa na svetu ne mrzim da radim koliko mrzim da se brijem.
Što se ovog trenda tiče, zanimljivo je da je u Italiji obrnuto.Sveopsta klerikalizacija drustva i vracanje u (izmisljeni) ''slavni srednji vek''.
I nije rec o pomodarstvu, vec o trajnom i zacrtanom kursu.
Meni se baš čini da je pre 10 godina bila dominantna hipsterska brada, mada razumem da to možda nije bilo rašireno kod nas...Pre 10-15 godina zaista retko ko je imao bradu, sad mi to izgleda kao must-have pa vas zbog toga pitam, šta vi mislite...
Ovo ti je vrlo ruzno 'ne bi trebalo tebe'...Mislim da ovakve teme vode ljudi nesigurni u svoj izgled. Mene nikad nije zanimalo zašto neko ima bradu, a neko ne. Ne bi trebalo ni tebe.
To je kao ono kad ljudi koji nisu sigurni u svoju seksualnost stalno potežu neke homofobične teme da bi naišli na odobravanje haha
Through history facial hair fashions have surged and receded: beards were out for most of the 18th century, very much in for the second half of the 19th, and out again by the dawn of the 20th. Their return in the 1960s and early 70s was short-lived; the tide went out pretty quickly. If you had asked me in 1985, I’d have said the beard was extinct.
The latest vogue for beard-wearing began around the 2008 recession, and was initially dismissed as a niche pursuit, a hipster thing.
The peak of peak beard reports actually came a year later, in spring 2014, with a study from the University of New South Wales called “Negative frequency-dependent preferences and variation in male facial hair”. It appeared to show that beards were an advantage in sexual selection when their prevalence was low, but that ubiquity made them less attractive. “The bigger the trend gets, the weaker the preference for beards and the tide will go out again,” Robert Brooks, one of the authors, said at the time. “We may well be at peak beard.”
In 2017, YouGov research showed that between 2011 and 2016, the proportion of British men sporting some facial hair had risen from 37% to 42%. Razor sales continued to slide. The hipster came and went, but the beard persisted.
Any signs of the beard finally fading were obscured by the pandemic. Underneath the masks, beards were everywhere. At first this was a little depressing: the beards seemed to be an outward manifestation of nothing mattering any more. But men were also liberated from societal expectations, and free to try something new. BBC weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker caused a stir when he decided to keep his long hair and beard post-lockdown. So has our attitude shifted permanently?
“In the 1850s it was to do with fears among men about what was happening to masculinity,” says Dr Alun Withey, author of Concerning Beards: Facial Hair, Health and Practice in England 1650-1900. “Think of the Industrial Revolution: there’s lots of guys having to work together in new ways and new places: offices, factories. There are calls by women for more rights and more power, and there’s a feeling in the air that manliness is being diminished.” In search of some kind of timeless expression of masculinity, men didn’t have to look far – soldiers returning from Crimea, along with a new breed of Victorian explorer, offered a ready symbol of male heroism: a massive beard.
