Should people be free to cut their hair and dye it as they want? [16]
piercings, tattoos and garishly dyed hair,
As in the punk rock era of the late 70s in the UK. People were disapproving back then too.
I think attitudes in Poland have changed a lot over the last 10-15 years or so. Young people in Poland are becoming less conservative. I remember having a convo with a young Polish guy about 10 years ago who was very disapproving of tattoos. He said only people who had been in prison had them. He wasn't the only person who expressed that view either.
These days I see lots of Poles with tattoos.
Should a bunch of middle aged men dictate how young people present themselves
They shouldn't but some things never change. Unfortunately, some people will judge purely on appearance.
freedom loving right
Narrow-minded and intolerant people generally.
