PHILOSOPHY - VISUAL
CONVENTIONS It is absolutely amazing how many stereotypes there are and how many judgements are made about people based solely from their haircut, i’m going to focus this section just on the hair issue because its pretty funny.
Hairstyles are a result of a trend or social pattern of a time and because of this the groups in which they are associated with and they social perception of that group carries onto anyone with that haircut.
I’m not very good at explaining things so ill keep trying but basically if you see someone with a mohawk almost everyone you ask would say oh hes a rebel or a punk and likes rock music, these are the general stereotypes im talking about. A great one is the ‘arty’ look hairstyle where you have the top medium length and the sides and back shaved, many people assume that a male with that hairstyle is arty or does something to do with design, i showed pictures of different haircuts to ten friends to see if i was right and generally eight to ten of them said exactly what i thought they would and ten of ten agreed mullets are disgusting.
Although im not sure if what i’m trying to say is coming out right i’m sure you kinda understand what i mean.
