Boybeards

You read it here first...boybeards. The new trend of young men in their twenty-somethings to grow beards. Boybeards is just my invented word for them. I noticed this phenomenon whilst visiting San Francisco last week. All the bars I went to, I noticed how many young twenty-somethings men had beards. Can this be the new facial hair to replace the goatee of the early nineties? But even the goatee was mostly seen on thirty-somethings back then.

Discussing this trend with my friend Corey, he posits that it is natural for young men to try to make themselves look older, and on the opposite end, older men are clean-shaven because they are trying to appear younger.

I link this interesting webloiptation of a young man recording his own facial growth for you to enjoy: http://www.tommysbeard.com/
