Honey Boo Boo and rednecks with purple hair is over 10 years old [0].

What the counterculture movement of the 70s and 80s presented, at least externally through hair, clothes, tattoos, piercing, etc is now post mainstream.

It’s like this huge portion of society “rebelling” against a Nixon that no longer exists, or is a much smaller portion of the population than it was when it was an oppressive majority.

I remember in middle school I was paddled by the headmaster because my hair was too long. It touched my shirt collar in the back.
