Oh Eurovision, so desperate to be cool it’s like your dad trying to be a hipster. This year’s best example? Manbuns. Here’s the best to the worst of 2017;
Hungary

For by far the best manbun of 2017 I give you….Hungary’s Joci Pápai! Sleek, well tied, no loose hairs – it’s everything you could ever want in a manbun!
Sweden

A slightly more modern take on the Manbun, this Swedish backing dancer will be representing alt-hipsters everywhere at the Eurovision final.

Look everyone – it’s the world’s smallest manbun! So slight, it can only truly be seen in silhouette! Fortunately that’s just what you get somewhere around the middle 8, just don’t blink…

Yes, this isn’t a manbun – but it so easily could be! We had so much hope in the national finals; “Look everyone!” We said. “Salvador is growing a manbun for us!” We said. And yet in the semifinals he went with a simple ponytail. We’re hoping for big things come the final, Salvador, big things.

Look at that man bun! It had so much potential! And yet he cut it off before the big day. Oh, Alex! 🙁
