That’s so thoughtful. A Redux review of your 2013-2014 haircut that fans and critics both hated upon release, but you still praised. Now, years later, we are all on the same page. We can all sleep well at night knowing you feel the same way we do/did.
i genuinely admire his ability to stay so collected and unbothered by the hate he receives on the internet. i've seen multiple people literally say they wish he was dead
"They'll try to bully you out of doing anything" that's so true- it really breaks my heart to see a ton of content creators going back on really silly stuff and opinions just cause they can't stand their fans disagreeing with them. Pandering to the most basic common denominator fan sure is a good idea for business, but I'm sure some part of the creator's identity is lost

Sad that Anthony cut his hair just for the fans. Growing hair out usually has awkward phases so it's sad that you were discouraged. Glad you got that strange haircut in the end.
Most content creators apologize for stuff like abusive behavior, scams, lying etc. Meanwhile, Anthony addresses a stupid haircut he had a decade ago. That's why I love the guy.
He can't please everybody He can't even please himself He thought a bald cut would help But when that hair starts to grow He's sure to want something else
Fantano, personally never even took note of your hair and thought anything negative. It was always just another characteristic of you as the person you are. Just like your glasses, tattoos, sick shirts from time to time. Everyone is unique in their own way. But on that note I also dont judge people based on their looks. More so how they carry themselves and their personalities. I believe thats how majority of people feel who enjoy your content. Of course theres those groups of trolls and insecure folks who get off putting others down to make themselves feel better, but fuck em. You make great vids and have a great sense of humor and personailty and thats why we luv you
Respect dude. I get questions and shit for my hair due and lack thereof, and I think possibly from a good place, but that shit always got to me so deep, but luckily i was always too lazy to listen (sometimes). I 100% appreciate and agree with encouraging people to give 0 fucks about their irritations on your body, vessel, individuality. Your vid is a breath of fresh air!
Ofc Melon would make a video about people who bullied him into getting a haircut, and making money off of the video via ad revenue. A true chad, we love you with or without hair homie.
@@celtic69 I have a similar follicle situation as Fantano and I'm here to let the world know, my people have the ability to grow mullets, they just won't look very good.
I was asked to leave a job I had been at for 4 years because of the length of my hair as a male. I was pretty fed-up w the job at that point, so upon that request I peaced out and didn't cut my hair for like 3 years after that. Looking back, I feel like I probably would've cut it sooner if it wasn't out of defiance lol.
@@Val_D the most annoying comments are hogs that cry when Fantano talks politics, they threat him like a dance monkey that talks only about music. Right wing people are pathetic and its scary how many of them exist
Your viewpoints irritate me constantly, Fantano. But you should not at all have to apologize for your hair. You're a solid-looking dude. I disagree with you very often, but I like your videos and stay subscribed to your channels because it's been worth it for the music I have discovered through you on rare occasion. I know your channel is based on new music but I wish you would review more old music as well. Love your retro reviews you do at the end of the year. Been with ya since 2011
You should appreciate this from the scratches DJ Premier adds to gang starr's " you know my steez": Let em know do yo thing god, keep it live". Basically, do you.
I was around at that time, and I loved that haircut, still think it looked rad, especially when you got it bleached. I also love the bald look, do whatever you want with your hair, I'm here for it. Fuck boring people's opinions on your looks
I forgot about Cal. Did Anthony ever serve time for that? The hair was bad but the real crime here is how Anthony got away with what he did to Cal. RIP.
I was around that far back but somehow I memory-holed just how tragic that haircut was. Like, I remember the periods when he just kind of let his hair grow in normally but didn't do anything with it, and that was fine, but *man,* this particular haircut was… a choice and a mistake.
I've been watching Anthony consistently for a decade now and very clearly remember this haircut. I liked it unironically. It was kinda goofy but he was also doing a lot more shitposts during that time. I thought it matched the persona he was embodying at the time.
It's a picture spread around of a guy who looks like fantano being uh....Helped by a woman with her mouth, dude has similar tattoos and glasses and is bald, but it's not him.
He didn't even look bad right before he cut his grown out hair. The landing strip not so good, but frankly I'd only care if it distracted from the review content. I like reading the funny and constructive comments on each review and I remember a lot from that era are all about the hair.
“That haircut is the reason hats were invented” is a quote that will never be forgotten
That one the guy said "Reason why Anthony's haircut is considerably smaller is because he stole it from a toddler" is also a hood classic
Truly one of the haircuts of all time.

Great apology video. Though i wish you hadn't done those things in the first place, i respect your ability to recognize MOST of your wrongdoings.

2013 was the year the expression “yee-yee ass haircut” was popularized. coincidence? i don’t think so
Don't worry Anthony, at least you were able to promote the use of hats!
What if he was sponsored by a hat company?!!

Don't let anyone tell you what to do with your hair, you're the best you're the best melon
Great comment. He should grow it again? Yes?
He can't please everybody
He can't even please himself
He thought a bald cut would help
But when that hair starts to grow
He's sure to want something else
Ah ah ah

Lmao I was just listening to crown before this
This reference to Crown is what I didn't know I needed in life. You sir are a gentleman of scholar.
I can’t believe Fantano called crown one of the weaker tracks off of Mr. Morale. SMH my head

Hairdo*
I’ll never forget the comment that said “that haircut is the reason hats were invented”
I can't believe I just spent 8 minutes listening to melon retcon the origin story of his old hipster haircut
honestly fantano's skull is impeccable. he was meant to be bald. if the phrenologists had him they would've been able to maintain control over biology
Lmfao
😂😂😂
I might be in the minority but I liked your fuzzy mold phase, Melon.
Anthony with hair is scarier than most horror movies!!!
Ofc Melon would make a video about people who bullied him into getting a haircut, and making money off of the video via ad revenue. A true chad, we love you with or without hair homie.
What's crazy is that Jay from TGF has had that haircut for years and he's been able to get away with it because he's British.
that's because theres no standards for how bad british "people" are.
Lol Jay's haircut wasn't that bad lol
british “people”
That haircut introduced me to pinata and for that I am eternally grateful
I literally never expected this lore to get explained, words cannot express how happy I am Anthony
Anthony finally addressing the allegations
theres an alternate reality out there where fantano has luscious hockey hair
I think Logic should review all the looks you've had over the years
We call him Melon but at this time he looked like the Apple logo
I would love to see you with a mullet, Anthony.
fantano with fabulous flow 😱
I don’t think he has the facilities for that big man
He would look AMAZING
anthony pluma
@@celtic69 I have a similar follicle situation as Fantano and I'm here to let the world know, my people have the ability to grow mullets, they just won't look very good.
Knowing it was out of spite makes me respect it.
anthony, you can't just say "embarassingggggg💅" and leave it at that
hold up, what's the image at 0:15?

He should keep feeding the fantano lore with videos like this, I love it
Nice NAV impression in the beginning! Way to go, Anthony!!
I agree Anthony. Giving MBDTF a 6/10 was indeed a massive mistake. Glad you acknowledged that Melon. Takes a lot of strength
Yeah, a 3/10 would be much better for a Nazi like that
its a 5, most overrated album of all time
@@noahleach7690there is no fucking way you said that with a straight face
@@Val_DIt became a running joke bcs the review was bad. Don’t read them if you don’t wanna see them
@@Val_D the most annoying comments are hogs that cry when Fantano talks politics, they threat him like a dance monkey that talks only about music. Right wing people are pathetic and its scary how many of them exist
i actually love that you did that, good for you bro
Thankfully John Hat saw this video and invented "Hats" in 2014
Remember kids bullying is never ok unless you’re bullying a strike scab or bigot.
cant believe he was so embarassed that he thought it looked good back then that he made up a whole story to explain it
ive waited tha longest time for anthony to explain tha pancake cut era
I miss this era man
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if he grew a mullet and kept it till now
Anthony went ahead and got rid of that Yee Yee Ass Haircut
I always thought that the hair was a little weird but nothing more than that. Now that I have context, I respect it 500x more.
No way bro was actually the “ummm….aktschually ☝️🤓”
Lmao “idontmeanthatoneidontmeanthatoneidontmeanthatone”
What was the blurred out picture at 0:17
That's actually sad... Sorry for what you had to go through
I’m glad hes finally talking about the hair allegations
I love the increase of external content on your socials tbh. The memes are fire
The haircut era was actually one of my favorite eras. Probably due to nostalgia and the albums that came out during. So many good releases man...
I think you were ahead of your time, every bad metalcore band I saw 2015-2017 had at least two of those in the lineup
Anthony you can’t grab a uke and sing the song “toxic gossip brain” and call it a haircut
bro looked like hank green with that cut
The hair looks fine if I'm being honest. Also: Cal needs to return. Cal please, come back...
Cal was executed in 2021
The memes that you post on your Instagram give me will to live, please, keep up with them.
Thinking about the alternate timeline where melonman didn't care back then and fully grew out his hair
Fantano with hair isn’t real. Fantano with hair can’t hurt you. Fantano with hair:
Very good advice, thank you Anthony. Have a good night.
If you pulled out a ukulele and sang an apology song, I would have forgiven you for going against the geneva convention
what photo is he referring at 0:16?
Does anyone else remember “Thatistheplan” the good old days
I've honestly ALWAYS wondered this
Your viewpoints irritate me constantly, Fantano. But you should not at all have to apologize for your hair. You're a solid-looking dude. I disagree with you very often, but I like your videos and stay subscribed to your channels because it's been worth it for the music I have discovered through you on rare occasion. I know your channel is based on new music but I wish you would review more old music as well. Love your retro reviews you do at the end of the year. Been with ya since 2011
I exclusively follow this channel for the lore.
I remember the constant hair comments on your videos, it was kinda entertaining lol.
Do what ever you want to do with you hair. I’ll still be here watching you vids no matter what
You should appreciate this from the scratches DJ Premier adds to gang starr's " you know my steez":
Let em know do yo thing god, keep it live". Basically, do you.

I forgot about Cal. Did Anthony ever serve time for that? The hair was bad but the real crime here is how Anthony got away with what he did to Cal. RIP.
Stunning and brave melon.
I just realized I've been following Melon for just under a decade and yet still don't consider myself a fan.
Denial is a powerful thing
And a very long river
This apology needs more ukulele
great piece of fantano lore
Commit to the bit. No half measures. "Yes and".
I was around that far back but somehow I memory-holed just how tragic that haircut was. Like, I remember the periods when he just kind of let his hair grow in normally but didn't do anything with it, and that was fine, but *man,* this particular haircut was… a choice and a mistake.
I never forgot the potato chip cut. It stains your mind in a way, once you see it.
I've been watching Anthony consistently for a decade now and very clearly remember this haircut. I liked it unironically. It was kinda goofy but he was also doing a lot more shitposts during that time. I thought it matched the persona he was embodying at the time.
WHAT WAS THE PICTURE IN THE BEGINNING I NEED TO KNOW
This. commenting for when someone responds
Same
It's a picture spread around of a guy who looks like fantano being uh....Helped by a woman with her mouth, dude has similar tattoos and glasses and is bald, but it's not him.
I remember these eras. God where has time gone.
Anthony’s haircut is more scary than the album that scares the hoes.
"doing something as normal"
my man there was nothing normal about that
Love the message, Anthony ❤
fantano should get a chalk lineup for the culture
He didn't even look bad right before he cut his grown out hair. The landing strip not so good, but frankly I'd only care if it distracted from the review content. I like reading the funny and constructive comments on each review and I remember a lot from that era are all about the hair.
A ukulele would have made this apology a lot better
Anthony that haircut is scaring the hoes, I'm really scared
Anthony was scaring the hoes before it was cool.
Melon had the DANNY BROWN swoop in mind and he KNOWS IT. Give Danny his credit MELON
whats the blurred image in the beginning?
I’m wondering the same thing
Pretty sure it’s an old image of some porn video with a dude who kind of looks like Fantano I remember people sharing some time back
2:23 "an independent individual human" sounds like something a melon would say
Love you Melon! Grow the hair out again but not just the strip
4:10 I don't think I've ever seen anyone so ready to take over the mic in Sunbather-era Deafheaven.
Anthony thinks he’s clever to joke about his leaked sex photo so we’ll think it’s not him. I see you wise guy…
WAIT, people complain about your low effort insta memes? That WHY I follow you!
This video is a nice Fck you to the haters, just let the man and the rest of the people you project on, live their lives!
Never forget when Doja Cat called fantano's bald head the All That logo
