I personally prefer the sly look. But I do think it is healthy that they are not doing, rugs, drugs and plugs. However, it would look better to have the hair trimmed down and not sly rather than long, sloppy while having MPB.
I am wondering, is Portland, Oregon a center of the hipster universe? I am currently here and have seen quite a few hipsters. I think more per capita than Seattle!
If that's "hip", I'm proud to be a square!
Well said, they remind of the 90's Seattle grunge/ heroin shootin' dirtbag look.
The Dan Deacon photo is atrocious, yeah, but if you look at any other photos of Deacon, you'll realize that looking ridiculous is kind of part of his schtick. His outfits, his taped up glasses... it's all kind of a never-ending act.

Honestly, I'm surprised at how negative this thread is. I agree, the look doesn't look good, but to each his own. I was glad that marshd brought up the fact that at least they weren't trying to "treat" their hair loss. However stupid the look is, these guys are in some way cultural icons, and the more people comfortable with MPB, especially people who hold influence, the better.
