Side parts have their strengths though, right?įor sure. This preference for center parts can also be seen in the vintage hairstyles Gen Z has embraced with open arms: Pigtails, space buns, buns held up with claw clips, and those two little tendrils are all very center part–centric. Gen Z is a generation that champions embracing flaws, like the under-eye bags you’re so quick to shun, so it’s no surprise it supports a part that proudly bares it all. They also put all of one’s face front and center with nowhere to hide. Middle parts picked up a divisive reputation because in terms of math and such, they shine a spotlight on symmetry. Why do the youths like middle parts so much? They need to age a little more before they’re eventually considered young again. Time is a flat circle and trends are cyclical, so the easiest way to think about it is that side parts, while technically also old, just aren’t old enough to be considered not-old again, like middle parts. It was definitely the thing to do in the 1920s, 1970s, and the 1990s - hell, even Queen Victoria is rocking a middle part in this super-old portrait. People have been parting their hair down the middle since who knows when. Those born after 1997 hoped Zoomers would finally see the center-parted light, while many millennials clung even tighter to their security-blanket side parts, pointing out that Gen Z has also endorsed things like snorting eels and eating Tide Pods. The part discourse reached its first peak last summer when Gen-Z TikTok user made a declaration about hair division that’s now divided down generational lines: “Prove me wrong, but I don’t think there is a single person who looks better with a side part than they do a middle part.” Gleep then asked anyone with a side part to make it a middle one - to prove her point that “the middle part is far more supreme” - and thus the #MiddlePartChallenge was born.
Simply asking that question is an indication you may be a side-part-wearing Old, but it began where all things begin: on TikTok. Feeling confused? Attacked? Let’s dissect. Your face is no longer Oval, Square, Heart, nor Circle if it’s wearing a side part, it’s just Old.
Forget what those hairstyle face charts once told you. That onslaught of center parts we were previously warned about? It’s here, along with a Gen-Z discourse built on shaming millennials for their side parts - the relics of an unhealthy youthful diet of cringey emo swoops and side bangs. Perhaps the quickest way to spot an aging millennial these days is to look at how their hair is parted.
