They've gone to the beard and plastic glasses look. Which is equally stupid looking.

Interesting article from Jalopnik and the rebuttal.
My experience with man-bun wearers is not stellar. Granted, I have only dealt with a few and the neck and face tats do turn me off. On the other hand, I have a former Marine friend who is covered with tattoos and he is awesome, so it is easy to overlook the tats. (I suspect he got the tats while recovering from significant brain damage received in an IED that killed everyone else in the vehicle. But I never asked.)
I seldom say anything about people’s appearance as, while I am not terrifying, I am bald and not very interesting looking. Nobody looks at me twice unless they think I am a mugger. (At which point I smile and say, “howdy!”)
I see the man-bunners as the hippies of our time. But, if I had thick hair, maybe I would do something interesting with it. Who knows?

People try to look trendy and hip. Those foppish looking guys in the eighteenth century, with their lace sleeves and hanky stuffed in one cuff could cut your head off with their swords. Today, they look ridiculous. One thing that always looks good is a man in a suit. It doesn’t matter if the suit was from 1890, 1920 or today. They always look good.
In my professional life, I always wore a long sleeve shirt and tie. I kept my hair, which I had at the time, short and neat. I like to think I could have gone anywhere in any time and not looked too out of place. (Obviously not biker bars or mining camps, but you get what I mean.)
Next the only way to fill those jobs was to tap the Hispanic demographic which the liberals eagerly facilitated for obvious reasons and then they started with stories about how difficult it was for these poor Hispanics to have a home and raise a family on a unskilled job never meant to support a family let alone a home.
Next step was the militantization of the in large part, sorry it's true, illegal fast food and other unskilled labor force demanding a so called living wage of $15 an hour......to start for a know nothing unskilled job.
And the finale? Having made it so expensive with their living wage for employers to make a profit let alone stay in business, those employers do what they have always done to keep their profit margin they turn to technology. Only this time it's the ultimate, no more cashiers just kiosks and a lone counter person to pass the orders, no more cooks and assembler we got HAl2000 for that now we just need a guy to keep the raw product and packaging loaded and a guy to wash the equipment........for now. Oh but don't worry, for a while you can still count on a human to garble speech at the order board and screw your order up before they hand to you. But I'm sure they will develop a Cindy2000 to cover that too.
The one plus side is even though we have F'd over our teens, the liberals lose a big part of their argument that we need uneducated fodder from south of the border for jobs that no longer exist.
“even though we have F’d over our teens”
They can always code, right?!
It IS all crap as you said, and the chronicle is correct.
Used to be nice cheery HS girls with bright smiles screwing up the burger order. Who cared, it was fun. Then it was 40 year old Mexican males who didn’t understand Ingles, and I didn’t even want to talk to them. The robot will be better. But no fun anymore...
I did find some places along I-95 where they still employed American kids to serve burgers/fries/ice cream, but that’s probably the last place in the country except for maybe Frostbite Falls MN, and I’m sure there’s a caravan of illegals headed there soon.
Right along with strawberry picking machines coming on line everywhere except California, the Left will have managed to make all their client populations literally unemployable. Good job, morons.
