As Bryan here from the Hot IQs demonstrates, the White Boy Afro proves there is a preexisting natural hierarchical order of hipness in the retro throwback bands.
Some claim to play pop music from the ’60s or rock music from the ’70s. Some may even accomplish this act in a semi-successful pastiche.
But certain blessed individuals are truly transplanted from these much cooler time periods, be it through some psychedelic space travel or trippy sitar-accompanied reincarnation unfolding before our eyes; and it’s as if their cooler, vintage inner beings can’t help but escape in an explosion of curly tendrils, coming together in an expansive, globe-shaped reminder of said better times. They will never be as cool as their African brothers and sisters who sported the fro; but they will be cooler than all the other white folks.
To you, dear White Boy Afro! We eagerly look to your locks for inspiration.

I wish I was blonde then my ‘fro would be kickin’.
Tidbit- the White Boy Afro used to be called the Jew-fro. Then it got cool and the goys appropriated it.
Booyakasha!
