Seems like a joke but this was a popular haircut in the late 90s. We used to call it “the ashtray”. Kinda ironic that kids nowadays may not even know what an ashtray is. Man the 90s had some nice stuff but they also stank of cigarettes

I grew up in the 90s and I have no memory of this haircut. Most people in the late 90s had bleached, spiked hair. If this haircut was a thing where you lived it was probably localized to your town.

It was wildly widespread in Spain. Not really a town but I can see how it may have not been popular worldwide.

We called it "the stadium"
