I've had dreadlocks or to be precise a dreadlock , not brushing long hair will do this
I had to have a buzz cut to get rid off it.

Lots of people I know, me included, just ignore the fast-changing trends and wear whatever they like.
My dress sense hasn't changed in 30 years - jeans ( I prefer a certain colour only which is almost impossible to get now ) , t-shirt ( gotta be cotton , I love the feel of cheesecloth ) , crazy hairstyle
I still dress like it's 1995 (flannel, jeans, t-shirt, Converse sneakers).
.
You have great taste in clothes ( don't know what flannel is , that's a cloth we wash with in the UK)
I cant wear converse anymore , too flat , I need trainers with an arch. I used to wear Hi-leg DMS Combat Boots but hated the effort of putting them on and off.

Flannel shirts, typically checked and with a pointed collar. I wear them, too. My parents also love them... wait, there was something about intergenerational continuity, wasn't there? While I rejected some of the values of my parents (PPR stuff, so to speak), our views on appropriate clothing are perfectly in line. SaveFerris wrote:

High five!I settled on lightweight trekking shoes.

I used to have long hair from About 2002-2008,I initially did it because all the best rock and metal stars did, and the idea of few cuts was appealing.
Eventually it was the maintenance I got sick of! Washing it, using a hair dryer, still having to get it trimmed occasionally. Ladies are good at making it look effortless, but it's anything but. Try looking down to read or at a small detail with your hair flopping everywhere! I buzz cut it myself now!

i refuse to cut mine until nature decides to thin it down to the vanishing point. until then, i follow some shortcuts to the aforementioned niggling things you mentioned- keeping it in a ponytail gets rid of the flopping problem. i can get away with only washing it every other day, the oil that accumulates in the interim actually is helpful in keeping it under control. no need to cut it as it stops growing by itself. you were one of the lucky ones if yours kept on growing.
hey, whatever suits you
I ended up with mine tied back lots too. There's a guy down the road from me, now he has LONG hair, it's down to his waist!
