I have one for one simple reason: The wife likes it. It itches, i have a weird compulsion to tug at it constanly, shaving around it without screwing up the edges is a bitch, but she finds me more attractive with it, so it aint going anywhere.
I have nice SHORT hair, because i am lazy and i cant get the above mentioned wife to agree to me just shaving my head.

the artistic comunity dictate the fashion standards - always have.
actors/musicians are portrayed as cool .. the people YOU want to be...
so people will try to look like them.
this has been going on since forever.
lately the trends are lasting longer ... we already went through the cycle of 50's, 60's 70's 80's, then back to 50's, 60's 70's 80's .. the 90's and 2000s show signs that people are getting tired of reinventing themselves .. i just dont think there's any interest in rehashing the cycle again so we settled on safe chic or urban for style.. then there are the rest of us that dont really follow trends...
trends are really only followed in the major centres anyway - mostly the very socialite downtown crowd. there are always exceptions in the smaller towns ... but hardly any..
