I love a good moustahce. Specifically the handlebar variety. Even sported one last year before i shaved it off for a change in look ( picture attached ).
But am i crazy or have moustaches of any kind gotten a bad rep in the last one decade or so, especially after the stubble/beard boom came about? There is this whole ‘moustaches are creepy’ vibe that seems to be around. Here I’m talking about guys who support moustaches alone, and not just with a beard.
Any thoughts on why/when it happened? I’m 33 currently so i wasn’t around during the 60s and 70s, but simply going by images of the time reveal that moustaches were much common at the time, and i assume, considered the fashionable thing to do.
I grew up in Pakistan before moving to Canada later on, and Pakistan and perhaps the whole of South Asia, is still very moustache friendly. They are essentially the go to form of facial hair for most men there, so i found the difference in perception towards facial hair in opposite parts of the world quite interesting.
Any thoughts on this matter? Especially people who lived through the 70s or so?
