The pompadour hairstyle bridges the gap between royalty and street punks, since it was named after Madame de Pompadour but was later adopted by Greasers, Rockabilly kids and Zoot Suiters who were seen as lowlifes by mainstream society.
Nowadays many of the freewheelin' folks who sport a pomp like to take it as far as they can, their huge hair helping them stand out in a world full of shaved heads and droopy hairdos.
Pompadour peacocking has led to the formation of some epic level hair helmets, as exemplified by the Japanese greasers who like to go out dancing in the streets.
With any luck the younger generations will see the value of a classic hairstyle and carry on the pompadour tradition!
No love for the D.A. either? I'm not digging up a photo of me back in the day.
