  Hello Everyone,

  Here is a picture of people who can maybe your employers who enforce grooming codes now, or your parents who bitch about long hair today. This is how they possibly looked like when they were teenagers and in their twenties.

  The picture is taken from a street fair on Milton Street in a then bohemian and student district, where people were protesting the demolition of relatively cheap housing, in victorian buildings replaced by then-trendy expensive high-rise apartment tower blocks (La Cité).

  This was the first actions against gentrification, but how many of these people are short-haired real-estate agents today?

  Have a nice day,

  Georges in Montreal.

  Notice that the "conformists" compromised with parents and employers by keeping their hair more or less to shoulder-length, and "extreme length" like down the back were quite common, but a minority still.

    I'm sure some have become agents of gentrification themselves but then again I'm sure other haven't.

    Moreso than the physical aspect of having long hair, I'm sure some of those who may have compromised to survive still kept the spirit of long hair alive in their hearts, hopefully.

    Peace
