Why do guitar players have long hair

People always asks you why do you have long hair, what do you say to them? I play guitar and I'm in my 30's people's attitude to me like "grow up and cut your hair".... I always get that feeling... Should I just cut my hair? It's not 80's anymore?

Social regulations are bullshit. It's your life do as you see fit, and if someone dont like it, thats a golden opportunity to vent.

Long hair is so 80's...
What other trends you holding on to?
Wear your pants below your ass?
I will bet you still use tube amps too.

I've had long hair down to my ass, and I've shaved my head bald.....lately it's somewhere in between but closer to the bald look. Know what? It doesn't change how I feel about the world....and I never really cared much what the world thought about me....so it kinda just works out whatever you choose.

If you have ideas of getting a job at corporate business, long hair isn't going to work well with that suit.....but aside from that, don't spend too much time or invest too much emotion in what others perceive as a function as superficial as how you choose to cut your hair. People who will form opinions of you based on your hair are probably not people you need to be spending a ton of time with.

Big fish to fry my friend....do what you like, and live life like you stole it from someone who is after you

Do you want to listen to others tell you what to do or decide for yourself? I look how I want to without ANY regard for what others may think about it.

When you dont give a fuck what others think, you are closer to true freedom. Its your life and its your hair.

Post a pic. Then we'll tell ya what to really do. Or, just ask a chick. Its all about chicks anyway, might as well go to the source.

Basically, any major personal appearance modifications should be made with one thing in mind....will this change get me laid more or less? If the answer is more, then dont worry about what the dudes think, because dudes respect the ability to get laid above all else.

I hope i have answered your question.

Why did rock musicians have long hair?

I believe it started out as a rebellion thing. Rock was about rebellion, the young people rebelling against the older generation, and a part of that was letting your hair grow long, which the older generations found outrageous. Nowadays however I think it's more about tradition and part of the rock image and culture.

Why do metalheads have long hair?

Longer hair was seen as more free and less contrained. Part of it is just that long hair is great for headbanging. Back in the 1980s, long curly hair was very important to fans of music ranging from Thrash Metal to pop-metal. Every morning before school was a long time spent with the curling iron and hairspray.

Why do guitarists have long nails?

The main reason classical guitarists play with long nails is it gives them a wide range of expressive capabilities. For one, nails allow you to play the guitar significantly louder than playing with the flesh of your fingertip.

Why do Rockstars cut their hair?

Not all rockers/metalheads do. But the ones who do, is because they tend to cope with the mainstream fashion. Right now, the long hair isn't a popular fashion. That's why a lot of people cut their long hair.
