Despite the cool names, you might recognize the cut from Richard Spencer and historic photos of Adolf Hitler. Some barbers even refer to the style as the “Hitler Youth.”
Notably, we’ve seen celebs like Brad Pitt, Macklemore and Adam Levine rock the look—and some have since given it up. And we can’t forget when Eric Trump debuted the look in June.

So how about that “Hitler Youth”? Let’s talk about it. Voice-over courtesy of our very own Michael Harriot.
