Justin Bieber's New Hairdo: ZOMG! What Do You Think?

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Miscellaneous | Comments (48)

During an important international mission to sign copies of his new autobiography, First Step 2 Forever, Justin Bieber — the Canadian cultural attache to America — unveiled his new haircut, the repercussions of which have sent shockwaves throughout the nation. It represents an undeniable shift in form and in strategy — imported Canadian pop-singers who found fame on YouTube will never be seen the same again. President Obama has raised the security level in all hair salons across the NYC metropolitan area, and radio morning show hosts across the United States don’t know what to do with their lame lesbian hair jokes anymore. Trichologists are being summoned on all the cable news networks to offer their opinion on Bieber’s new hairstyle, and so far, opinion is mixed.

Collectively, we have the luxury here on Pajiba to have a bright, intelligent and somewhat politically diverse community, one that is capable of creating bright and intelligent commentary if provoked with the right questions. In this week’s installment of Pajiba Debates, I put this question to all of you: What do you think of Justin Bieber’s new hairstyle?

Which one's the new one?

They're both the same. This is a joke, right?

...guys?

Posted by: L-Za at November 29, 2010 11:11 AM

Good one, Rowles.

Posted by: Dorothy Snarker at November 29, 2010 11:12 AM

Seriously, which one is it?

I get the joke, but the spoilsport in me needs to know the truth!

Posted by: RobP at November 29, 2010 11:13 AM

I'm guessing that the "freshly fucked" look on the left is the new look, perfectly appropriate if puberty ever kicks in.

Posted by: clocker at November 29, 2010 11:13 AM

I'm guessing the new one is the one on the left? That's quite tricky of you, Dustin, since we read from left to right here in the US, and therefore, would expect to find the old haircut on the left and the new one on the right.

Way to keep us on our toes on a post-holiday Monday, Rowles.

He's just a good-looking rebel who plays be his own rules and will still fit on the cover of Lisa's Non-Threatening Boys magazine. Admittedly, time will come to Justin as it does to all "men" and as one matures, one's eyebrows need space to breathe free and both raise and lower without fear of follicular oversight or creeping bang rates. On another hair note, isn't he about 15? Shouldn't he have some sort of cheesy teen moustache by now? I know I do. Are they waxing his face?

Oh shit! Parting it to the left is the secret signal. I have to go!

He looks stupid with either cut. Why does the world care about this anyways?

Posted by: Vella at November 29, 2010 11:17 AM

Emma Watson wears it better.

I for one prefer a shaved Bieber.

Posted by: PissBoy at November 29, 2010 11:22 AM

What do I think? I think that child needs to take his career for a long walk off a short dock and spare the world from his crappy music. And he can take his damn hair with him.

I hope he's saving some of this money for when puberty sets in.

I'm heading out to work on the lawan, but before I go, could someone tell me what the zed stands for in ZOMG?

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 29, 2010 11:31 AM

Obviously the wretched mousy brown dye job on the right is the new cut. The difference is that whoever cut/colored/styled the hair did not do enough thinning to have it sit right on his head. The result is a tragic middle-aged lesbian who gave up on love and moved out to the farm haircut rather than a hip trendy SoHo lesbian who regularly goes to concerts of bands who have no shot of ever making it big as they are too drunk/stoned to have a successful career haircut as pictured on the left.

Posted by: Robert at November 29, 2010 11:34 AM

It's like zounds or s'blood. . .those meaning, I believe, "his wounds" or "his blood." Alluding to Christ or Zeus or whatever. So ZOMG is clearly Zeus's exclamation of "oh my god."*

*Hardly any of this is true.

Who's the young lesbian in those picks?

Posted by: Fredo at November 29, 2010 12:56 PM

The only answer I care about is to the question "What kind of lipgloss are you wearing, Biebs?"

What? I like me some subtle, tasteful-yet-shimmery gloss.

That Justine Beiber is just the prettiest little girl, no matter how she cuts her hair.

Posted by: Blank at November 29, 2010 1:10 PM

Justin Bieber jokes are lame. Obvs its the haircut on the left, and obvs it is better.

Posted by: the chaplain at November 29, 2010 1:30 PM

OMG. I think I want to kiss him now.

Posted by: Magiel at November 29, 2010 1:52 PM

I actually feel sorry for the Bieb, and I'll tell you why. When I was about eleven or twelve, I went through a cute phase... (in my case, it lasted about half an hour, but still). I wasn't up to full Bieber levels of weapons grade adorable, but I got my cheeks pinched by matronly ladies a few times, and my older sister's friends were dismayed to find out how young I was when they saw a (cute) picture of me. I actually looked a little like the Bieb-apple cheeks, upturned nose, shining hair. Then....well, lets just say I am no longer cute. Bieber, it will happen to you. Better save a lot of that money you're making for your impending (involuntary) retirement.

Seriously, he is a girl, isn't she?

Posted by: Guilherme at November 29, 2010 2:29 PM

Just like typical Pajiba, not to see the fine changes happening in Mr. Beiber's life.

Listen, no-one at Pajiba is a fan of Justin Beiber; and that's okay. You don't need to be. Some people just don't have that great of an appreciation for music, and they just don't see how talented Justin Beiber actually is (most simply aren't aware that he knows how to play the piano, the drums, the guitar, the recorder, the skin-flute, the mandolin, the vuvuzela, and the exotic Dan Bau -- a complicated eastern instrument that dissasembles into five parts, and utilizes only one string to create it's wide array of sounds). I'm not surprised that it isn't a priority to the readership, as it hasn't been a priority to the site since they dropped their music column. C'est la vie.

But my goodness, just because you don't have an appreciation for music doesn't mean you can't appreciate the changes going on in Mr. Beiber's life. Clearly, he is in turmoil. The trials of fame have truely affected him on a deep, soulful level, and we should try to be patient and caring for him now that his teenage angst has begun to tear through his weak defenses. It should be obvious to all that he life is in a constant state of flux and upheaval, and that he is trying to match these dramatic changes by rebelling against the expectations that we thrust upon him (hence, the overhaul pictured above).

I know you're all very old, and probably have long forgotten the trials and tribulations that wracked your teenage years; but do try to be a little more sensitive for the poor, anguished child. As a talented musician, he is likely going to be prone to further bouts of erratic and excentric behavior; and it would be nice if we could all address these changes responsibly and kindly.

If we could twitter campaign the funds to remove that dour Lincoln statue from the new Bieber Memorial Multimedia Experience, this would suffice.

Posted by: Jackseppelin at November 29, 2010 2:35 PM

I think his next move should be to shave his head and do a live-action version of "Megamind" on Broadway.

Justin Bieber's autobiography is AWESOME!*

Oh he's so perfect, like a little fucking Real Doll. That's weird. He's probably a robot. He's a robot, isn't it?

@ supersante

I completely disagree. First off, where do you get the nerve lumping the Pajiba fan base with the problematic anti-Bieber sentiment in America? Do I enjoy making fun of celebrities as much as the next guy? Of course. But as a regular follower of Pajiba for some time now, I can say without any hint of sarcasm or mockery that I am an avid fan of Justin Bieber and all of his musical talents.

While I agree with you on the basis that Bieber is a multi-talented musician who has learned to make a soulful, heartfelt connection with the youth of this generation, I must oppose you on the notion that Bieber is going through "teenage trials".

It's obviously unfair to place Justin Bieber into the same category as your average American teenager who's cries for attention range from exotic haircuts to unsupported body piercings. Bieber is clearly at a higher class and his sudden and striking change in hairstyle points to something much deeper than teenage angst. I believe wholeheartedly that Bieber is making a poignant display of America's decline. The strands of hair on Bieber's head obviously are a metaphorical representation of America's values and strengths that are changing at an alarming rate, and for the worse. Though some may argue that Bieber's hair will look good no matter what (which I would have to agree with), there is no denying that with this change in hairstyle comes an altered, disturbed view of what can only be described as untouchable goodness, that is Bieber's hair.

Truly, the world is coming to an end.

Please keep things in perspective supersante.

Okay, so my boss asked me to hang on to and later ship 8 Justin Bieber concert tickets to a client of ours. I have been exceedingly jumpy and nervous, feeling that, at any second, a mob of tweenage girls will attack me when I least expect it. I live in fear.

When I look at the picture on the right, I can't help but remember the little plastic hair pieces that came with those little Lego people.

I am really interested in someone and have been texting back and forth for a long time but I want to step it up a notch. How can I start sending text messages forwards without making it obvious that I am interested?

I think it indicates that a lot of people from that religious persuasion decide to go into journalism. Since they have the intelligence to do so they do.

Posted by: US fresh news at December 1, 2010 5:15 PM

Wow! What a fine example of your religion you must be! And I'd like to ask you: You say all these people are Jewish....SO WHAT? So what if they are? What is the problem with that? Can you name a specific problem that this has caused? I've got advice for you. From now on, NEVER watch any of these television stations and NEVER read any of these newspapers and NEVER buy any CDs from any of these record companies. There...are you satisfied?

Couldn't agree more. Although I would describe them as less entertaining and more like pathetic or perhaps short a gene or two, in other words, a liberals.
