That’s not a haircut, it’s a foam block covered with textured cloth that looks like hair.
Look at the side of his head, his hair color and the block are different and the real hair is combed backwards (not something you could do in that little space.
He’s basically wearing a hat
For reference:
May Day, A View to a Kill (1985):
May Day, Goldeneye (N64, 1997):
Maybe he’s in a psychobilly band?
Not an unreasonable assumption.
That or he’s a die hard fan, really into that subculture.
That’s fair. I wasn’t in a psychobilly band, but I tried for a similar cut (no where near as sculpted as his, or other psychobilly bands haha) when playing in a punk band. I did (and still do) like my psychobilly though.
Japan, more specifically, the Harajuku district of Tokyo, has a number of … very aesthetically bold subcultures, which certain people take extremely seriously.
One of which is basically exagerated 1950s American Rockabilly.

A good number of these guys are in actual Rockabilly bands.
I dunno if this guy’s PS1 blocky haircut really fits into an existing subculture, or if it is a joke off of this subculture… or if it is totally unrelated to all that…
But there actually are a good number of very dedicated aesthetic subcultures in the Harajuku district, Rockabilly is one… the ‘gothic lolita’ style almost certainly came out of Harajuku… there are many other niche identity/aesthetic/lifestyle cliques.
That is what I was referring to, not just… psycho/rockabilly generally around the world.
holy fuck i think i’ve seen this exact guy on the metro multiple times. no clue why he does this or who he is though.
That haircut slaps! 👋
Lmao I needed this today, thanks
