^ THANK YOU Mister Matt. As someone who has had a fade for years, this has been driving me crazy. There was an article last year that was going around on a popular fashion forum I visit called "The Haircut All Men Should Have" (linked below)... only, the men all had different haircuts -- some were just fades, some were classic WWII-era parted haircuts like what Brad is wearing, some were wearing pompadours, and some were the severe Macklemore cut.
Suddenly anyone with hair that is buzzed on the sides and longer on top has an "undercut" (as the kids are referring to this). But the styles they're referring to all are different and have had different names for decades. For me, "undercut" refers to that haircut from the 1990s where guys had long, shoulder-length hair and shaved sides.
