My cyberfriend Kristin Currier is a sometime hairstylist with a perspective to share. "The fans of hardcore (and 'Oi' style, or 'streetpunk') music ... particularly Sick of it All, who write songs about social and political ills and the desire for positive change... tend to separate themselves from the similar heavy-metal crowd not only by clothing style but by hairstyles. Flat-tops, bald, mohawks, buzzcuts or just plain short are far more prevalent in hardcore than long-hair metal styles. I attribute that to hardcore's (at least the old-school kind) overall positive 'You can make the difference' message. Most people who listen to Sick of it All, Agnostic Front, Dropkick Murphys and the like generally go for a cleaner-cut, tough-guy blue-collar urban look... a street-kid-outsider-on-the-fringe-all-grown-up-now and who has overcome his troubles, loves his friends and family, is highly critical or organized religions, politics, and generally looking to create or keep whatever sanity there is to be had in a bleak and desperate world. Long hair is for hippies and cop-outs. However, they are still "anti-establishment" types, so to separate themselves from the red state types, lots have tons of tattoos, weird facial hair, or some kind of article of clothing to keep from being confused with cops, jocks or jarheads."

If you continue looking for flattop haircuts on the web, you'll eventually find a particular "Bible Ministries" site (of the rules-and-prooftexting type) which explains at some length why flat top haircuts are sinful. They also claim that all the dinosaurs lived within the past 6000 years and that some of them could breathe fire. They forbid organ donation to strangers because the organs would probably get used for sinful purposes, and most people are wicked and don't deserve to have their lives saved. And they disapprove of interracial marriages because God intends that the races hate one another; otherwise, human beings would unite against Him. Of course, this is directly contrary to the mainstream Christian faith as you can see it practiced every day in the service of others. If you want to believe this stuff, or consider these people to be "Christians", that is your business.
