Talk:Sideburns
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Removed Scrooge McDuck from the list of men known for their sideburns for the following reasons:
- He has no ears and therefore no sideburns
- His hairstyle is more of a bald-headed wraparound
- His "hair" is actually feathers anyway
- He is a duck, not a man
I'm very surprised nothing was mentioned of Luke Perry or Jason Priestley who popularized sideburns in the early 90's on Beverly Hills 90210 after they had become unfashionable in the mid to late 80's. I'll look for sources on that before I edit the article though. Yankees76 21:05, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Musicians like Glenn Danzig or James Hetfield surely popularized sidesburns throughout the 90s (at least in the metal/punkrock scene). Which probably goes back to their admiration of the music from the 50s/60s. Both are known to like rock and roll and country.--80.133.245.89 15:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Probably, but sources would help validate such statements. I doubt Hetfield was particularly noted for his sideburns until well after they had become fashionable/popular in the mid 90's. If I recall he had 80's metal hair up until the Load era, and in 1995 even sported a mullet/mohawk haircut complete with chinstraps - not sideburns [1]. Yankees76 04:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wolverine
I really don't think the prevalence of sideburns throughout the world is due to the popularity of the character Wolverine.
