2) The Shag

Coming from the crew cuts of the 1940-50s, the shag hairstyles for men in the ’60s were quite the shake-up. Not since the 19th century had men’s hair been so long and it marked what older folks saw as a distinct departure from upstanding dress codes. Bands like The Beatles and The Monkees popularized this overgrown look, much to the chagrin of the older generations.
