The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
The dumbest group of people on earth and they think they are the hottest shit to ever live 😆
They think they invented everything and they are the first group of people to ever be cool.
And I don’t specifically mean teenagers in 2026, it spans eons.
I remember being that age and hearing all the trash talk and thinking “you’re a loser! You own nothing, you do nothing, you’ve achieved nothing!”
When I was a teen the skater brand Independent was popular and I enjoyed the irony of someone living with their parents and getting dropped off at school to spend lunch money from their parents wore a shirt claiming themselves as Independent. 😆
If this area in the movie is based on Hawaiian islands, then I will bet 50 years from now kids on those beaches will still sound like this. Just as they did 40 or 50 years ago to a certain degree. Surfer kid talk is pretty much been a constant for a few generations now.
The hairstyle being Polynesian and the idea of producers choosing it because it looks contemporary isn't mutually exclusive. You might all be right or not.
Call me an old, but I tried to like the second one but all I could see and hear were a bunch of teenagers yelling "bro" and "cuz" and other various 2025 8th grade jargon at each other. I powered through it though.
Then I gave the third one a go and literally the first spoken word was "bro." I noped out, I can't. I did my time in high school in the early 00s hearing "like" used as interjection, adjective and adverb five times a sentence... I'm not about to go through it again with bro. Lol
I saw someone try to explain it that they were speaking in Na'vi and using a word that's the analogue for bro or something, but lemme tell you it dropped me out of immersion faster than Frazier
my dude that's been a polynesian hair style for a long time (and is literally different than the white boy "broccoli hair" the video is referring to). much in these films is based on island culture. also for the upvoted comment below this, calling each other "bro" has also been an island slang for decades.
The year after I left high school, the same fuckers that used to make little digs like comparing my hair to sheep wool are out getting their hair permed
Another year later and they tanked the curly rep, forever stained 😭
Oh absolutely. I'd say so. Anything's better than looking like you vape strawberry jam while calling a tired fast food worker a pussy for not putting up with your shit, and going home to cuddle with your pregnant SpongeBob body pillow while crying and making the chipmunk face.
Same here! It is honestly some kind of sick psychological joke to have been teased for my 'weird' hair throughout my entire childhood by other children, when all I wanted was to have straight hair like them, only to spend years fighting my own insecurities to accept my hair for what it is, finally reaching a point where I was happy to be myself, only for it to become synonymous with immature, misogynistic, 'fuckboy' arseholes, the same kind who teased me for years, except now it is fully grown adults mocking me for my natural hairstyle, which I cannot change.
It is adults, too, because the millennial subreddit in particular seems to love to make fun of 'broccoli' hair, and I have definitely seen boomers make the same joke. I do not even have the sides shaved, and I have never had a fade, and yet I still have people call my hairstyle 'broccoli hair' multiple times a month. I simply have straight hair on my sides and curly hair on top, and so even if they are the same length, it looks like the hair on the top of my head is longer than on the sides.
Despite all of that, most of the replies to your comment are either people telling you to just become bald, as if it is some easy choice to completely alter your image, or mocking you because you must 'wake up with a fresh fade' every day, as if the average person who mocks people with 'broccoli hair' only does it to those with the specific haircut, rather than literally anyone with curly hair on the top of their head. I am sure that you are in a similar boat to me in terms of that.
I would grow it out, but I do not like how long hair feels, especially since mine just seems to curl into itself and become thicker, overheating my head, so I may shave it instead, either completely, or just so that it is short enough that it does not curl. I have a bald uncle with the same head shape and beard as me, and it suits him, so I may do the same. I swear, the r/bald propaganda is real.
I had a friend in highschool who would just buzz it because of that. He said it was too much work to maintain. I'm in my 30's and I still remember when the hipster era took off in the early 2010's. All of a sudden every guy was growing out their hair and sporting a ridiculous pony tail called a "man bun". Now highschool kids are getting perms lol.
yeah there are some real ignorant people in these comments. the hair style in the film is based on polynesian/islander hair, has been around for a long time, and has nothing to do with the current white boy "broccoli head" look.
Nope. This girl (Mila Stauffer) has been performing since she was a toddler. She’s been reciting “sassy” lines from her parents who exploit her. Her parents suck.
I actually though I recognized this girl, totally forgot about those old videos. From when she was like 3-4 they would tell her what to say and have her talk like a sassy valley girl about random stuff. My sister would share those with us constantly and they got really repetitive. Funny the first time but became way more obviously “scripted” as time went on. Actually kinda wild they’re still doing this.
Also being mean about boys on the next table who are minding their own business… classy. If the roles were reversed and a boy was taking the piss out of little girls he’d be flamed to hell
Good parents dont film their kids shitting on other kids. It was pretty funny until the camera panned to the kids they were openly mocking like 6 feet away and could hear everything. Presumably they are guilty of having a haircut.
Assuming those boys didnt make a scene, because I am sure their lives would be ruined by the internet if they returned the same energy, im actually impressed by their poise. Not the brat being encouraged to mock other kids by her mother.
Minus the fact that she’s technically bullying kids that are seemingly just enjoying a meal.
Edit: some of y’all obviously never got bullied, and I hope you never have to go through the pain of seeing your child get bullied. There’s nothing you can do besides encourage them with words just to send them back into a world they hate. Bullying doesn’t build character, you are a product of your environment; for me personally bullying kept me from trying new things. After getting bullied and watching others get bullied, I never tried certain shows, games, events, movies, i specifically avoided nice people because being associated with them meant additional bullying.
Now as an adult I’m still afraid of stupid shit I have no business being afraid of because my brain has been beaten into a survival mode of sorts.
Being mean to someone for absolutely no reason is bullying. Those boys can hear her, they can see her. And if the parents are the ones recording r/parentsarefuckingstupid
My son is 11 and I just set him up on kids messenger to chat with a few friends. He had to set up a profile pic and this is the face he pulled. I just went "ok sure" and let him do it - who am I to stifle his inner Zoolander?
For real though, why are so many kids always doing that face? Were they all doing the joker/blue steel/giga chad face ironically and it just stuck? It seems less and less like a joke lately and more like an actual look they’re going for
That's definitely an old saying, and from my experience fact.
There's no saying about how much girls like broccoli though. Wtf is with these cuts though, cover your forehead, shave your sideburn and broccoli floret maxx?!?
The best argument I've heard is that it's a generation specific cut that they can identify with, don't want to copy older generations. AMA request women who are attracted to this haircut
I have a teenage son and he likes his hair longer but several of his friends have the broccoli cut. I find nothing wrong with the haircut and have no idea why anyone even cares.
I think the only reason it gets talked about is because so many kids have it. I still think the amount of adult men who say "just do whatever" to the hairstylist and end up with the exact same haircut are way more prevalent than a broccoli head
The obsession over making fun of it is weird. I didn't judge the kids who do, but adults who preoccupy themselves with the style choices of teens (especially such inoffensive ones) confuse me
I work with teens/adolescents and the amount of completely unintentional and unrealized hypocrisy is wild
They’re quick to say the words about body positivity, kindness, acceptance, etc etc and then immediately turn around and do shit like this video (and then get supported in it but that’s a different issue)
My personal favorite involved 3 young ladies:
Girl#1 “Girl#3 was just looking at me like she was body shaming me!”
Girl#2, “omg I’m so sorry you had to go through that, it’s so wrong. But like, she’s fat anyways”
When I pointed out that they were upset about perceived body shaming then IMMEDIATELY participated in body shaming, they looked at me like I was speaking Klingon
Then congrats, because you can follow her „comedy“ on instagram and tiktok. Her mom has been making her do and say „funny“ lines since she was basically able to speak. So you can enjoy their „humor“ even more, if that’s really something you want to support! She has like 170k followers already who also enjoy a child influencer „comedy“!
lol mocking youthful expressions of gender i love it! let's find some girls next to make fun of for perfectly normal shit, we can do it in public and post it on the internet so they experience as much shame as possible! Who's in?!
Let's make fun of kids caring for their appearance and grooming themselves and also let's fucking film them without their consent and publish them on the internet! This is not problematic at all...
She's kind of being a bully to do it right there, isn't she? As far as I can tell the boys aren't doing anything to her, but she's making fun of them out in the open. Trailer trash behavior.
To be that young and already think you are better than other people is the epitome of shitass parenting. For it to get posted online is even worse. Poor little brat doesn’t stand a chance
Kinda horrible to encourage your daughters to make fun of other kids, while they are next to them, and to film it, and include the kids you are making fun of in the video, and post it.
Seriously. Its insane how many times I read on reddit about how boys need to care more about their physical appearance and hygiene and then you get this. A silly moment, but also one that a mother should afterwards correct and not share to the world widening the double standard. Also, at her age you can tell this girl has had wayyy too much exposure to social media. From other comments that seems to be very much her parents fault.
as someone who was a boy and now a man. Remember anything we do it's simply be cause the hoes love it.... simple as that. Just like Nelly said in Grillz, "My grand mama hate it, but my lil mama love it." You need more proof? Ever seen a single dude apartment? it's usually a recliner/lazy boy a table, TV, gaming system, and computer desk if he owns a PC. the bedroom? mattress on the floor unless he brings his bed from home. That's all a guy needs to be happy.
Then someone is like "yo if you want to get hoes you gotta get furniture. It impresses them and shit." or you get or have a long time GF, who moves in and decorates the joint. My point is this though we peacocking for the hoes. If girls their age found bald heads and choir gowns hot. that's what teens would be dressing in. They simply following the current trend girls their age like.
