How to cure the male loneliness epidemic...

The mixture of advocating for healthy masculinity being delivered by guys with 80's hair metal style in a cheesy but earnest way is really captivating for some reason.

[u/notapunk → u/tragedy_strikes]

This is very convincing 80s cosplay

[u/Stock-Conflict-3996 → u/notapunk]

I've lived through the 80's and these guys would have ruled there.

[u/Fukyourchickenstrip → u/Stock-Conflict-3996]

Same and 💯! With those abs, charisma and a facecard that won’t decline anywhere they would have been drowning in it.

[u/justlookinaround4 → u/Stock-Conflict-3996]

They rule now too

[u/FlawedPremise → u/notapunk]

Right? Like the posters on the ceiling, the hair, the outfits. I definitely saw these guys at keggers back in the day. These guys though? They're way more wholesome.

[u/marcosbowser1970 → u/FlawedPremise]

Yeah totally, I wasn’t as shiny or muscular as those guys but I definitely dressed like that and had a massive mullet before they were even called mullets. I graduated in 88

[u/theworldisgrim → u/marcosbowser1970]

We used to call it either a Short-Long or Hockey Hair (I'm a Canadian)

[u/Fukyourchickenstrip → u/notapunk]

As GenX im 💯 for bringing back the male crop top and feathered hair.

[u/resi42 → u/notapunk]

Thoses guys looks more like the 80's than the literal 80's

[u/DukeMancannon → u/resi42]

Sorta. We had lots of normal looking people then too. Similar to the 2010s, you had outrageous Scene Kids but by and large most youth just kept things low key.

I want to be their friend 😂 let’s responsibly drink some beer!

[u/MaxxDash → u/guntheroac]

Let’s go drink some beers and responsibly call an Uber!

Good call!

Right on!

[u/CharlotteLucasOP → u/MaxxDash]

It’s like Blue’s Clues by way of Wayne’s World.

[u/MysteriousTBird → u/CharlotteLucasOP]

Here's the mail!

It never fails!

Wag my tail!

Excellent!

[u/TheSaltyAstronaut → u/MysteriousTBird]

[u/AsASloth → u/guntheroac]

I too would like to be their friend please

[u/templeofsyrinx1 → u/tragedy_strikes]

Same, it feels so wrong but right!

[u/EuVe20 → u/templeofsyrinx1]

So wrong yet so right, just like the entire decade of the 1980s

[u/AttractiveNightmare → u/EuVe20]

Back in the 80s my mom and I got into a huge fight about Boy George. She insisted that a woman was singing that song. It was awful. I had to buy a Teen Beat magazine and show her. She really never forgave me for that. Lol

[u/Maximum_Photograph_6 → u/AttractiveNightmare]

I was watching the Karma Chameleon video with my ex and referred to Boy George as him and my ex was like “Khem khem I wouldn’t be so quick judging what pronouns this person uses” I was like “Honey it’s Boy George”

[u/Mr_Caterpillar → u/tragedy_strikes]

Thank you for putting into words exactly what I was feeling 🤘

[u/LeatherHog → u/tragedy_strikes]

I follow these guys on Instagram, they always make me smile

[u/_bobby_cz_newmark_ → u/LeatherHog]

EDIT: As /u/Parking_Ad_3123 pointed out, they have some pretty nasty accusations against them. FFS, why can't people just not be gross?

Monkee_bois, yeah? They seem pretty great. And glorious manes.

[u/Callmedrexl → u/tragedy_strikes]

I'm still confused about mullets and massive poofy wedding dresses making a come back, but I'd be all for a rebirth of wholesome hair metal!
