OH NO THAT IS SO MANY….. I WILL LIMIT THIS TO MCR ERA ONLY
pointy recording studio hair: 1/10. this is a bad hairstyle. his sideburns are ridiculous and the spikes are so fucking nineties rap metal fan it makes me lose it. unfortunately, his sweet little face saves this from being a totally terrible era. but it’s still a bad hairstyle.
riot grrrl: 8/10 VERY VERY GOOD. just the right length for falling in his face all the time. fluffy!!! he definitely looks like he’s just started a new jersey posthardcore band
TEAL ROOTS: 6/10 ICONIC! INFLUENTIAL! AHEAD OF HIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!! the concept gets a million out of ten but imma be real the execution didn’t go.. perfectly. plus it always makes me sad because he got this look accidentally by fucking up when trying to dye his whole head blue and i’ll never know what that would have actually looked like
taste of gay-os: 5/10 IT WAS. AN INTERESTING IDEA.
summer of love: 3/10 BAD LOOK.
“why do people think we’re vampires”: 7/10 very stringy very greasy but also VERY GOOD. i do wish he’d brushed it like once but hey it was probably part of the look he was going for. he looked very pretty of course. pretty pretty boy
the patient: 8/10 THIS WAS A REALLY COOL LOOK AND IF U DISAGREE FUCK YOU. it always looked so great especially when he was wearing heavy makeup. and the COMMITMENT to the theme!!!!!!!! gerard way king of living his concepts!!! im really glad he didn’t shave his eyebrows like he wanted to tho. also this specific picture has been mac’s icon for FOREVER so it elicits a sort of pavlovian love from me
teenagerz: 5/10 somehow it’s not as good as the white hair but i think it’s still very cute. also the jacket from this video is dope and i want it
tbpid/prorev: 6/10 while overall this era was a DEEPLY sexy time for gerard, he had about an equal mix of good and bad hair days. sometimes it was PERFECT and fell into his face all gorgeous and got whipped around but sometimes it just kinda looked. awkward. awkward length. and i wasnt super big on the bangs
late 2007/2008: 10/10 we did it. we found it. the perfect gerard hairstyle. the right amount of length, a tasteful windswept messiness, impeccable volume, classily swept back from his forehead. it’s the gothrock gentleman look we all should aspire to. mwah. this one is so nice it gets 2 photos. perfection.
this: 11/10. well. fuck me
san diego comic con 2010: 5/10 a tacky lesbian icon!!!!!!!!!! could have used some toner tho to get rid of the brassiness
party poison: 9/10 this haircut fucks. THAT BOLD COLOR??????? THE SHAVED SIDES????? THE 24/7 UNKEMPTNESS (IS THAT A WORD)??? gerard fucking KILLED it with this. my only complaint is that the way he wore it meant that u usually couldn’t even SEE the shaved sides 😡
early 2011: 9.1/10 genuinely fucking gorgeous. u could see his short sides a lot better, and that coupled with the long bits in the front??? im fucking SWOONING.
late 2011: 4/10 this haircut kinda sucks
i’m running out of clever names for these: 3/10 this also kinda sucks!!! really bad color!!! the cut isn’t so bad tho. it’s just like THE WORST blonde ever
“yeah we’re totally working on our fifth album”: 2/10. it’s not really good but it does make him look like a hobbit.
