    That’s not a haircut, it’s a foam block covered with textured cloth that looks like hair.

    Look at the side of his head, his hair color and the block are different and the real hair is combed backwards (not something you could do in that little space.

    He’s basically wearing a hat

        That’s fair. I wasn’t in a psychobilly band, but I tried for a similar cut (no where near as sculpted as his, or other psychobilly bands haha) when playing in a punk band. I did (and still do) like my psychobilly though.

          Japan, more specifically, the Harajuku district of Tokyo, has a number of … very aesthetically bold subcultures, which certain people take extremely seriously.

          One of which is basically exagerated 1950s American Rockabilly.

          A good number of these guys are in actual Rockabilly bands.

          I dunno if this guy’s PS1 blocky haircut really fits into an existing subculture, or if it is a joke off of this subculture… or if it is totally unrelated to all that…

          But there actually are a good number of very dedicated aesthetic subcultures in the Harajuku district, Rockabilly is one… the ‘gothic lolita’ style almost certainly came out of Harajuku… there are many other niche identity/aesthetic/lifestyle cliques.

          That is what I was referring to, not just… psycho/rockabilly generally around the world.

            Ah yeah, I’ve seen pics of those subcultures before. I know they like their motorcycles, but does that group also drive those crazy looking cars with the huge exhausts. Bosozoku or something like that?

              That… the wild motorcycles… may be a subgroup of the rockabilly group, or another group?

              I am not sure lol.
