10. It would have slowly died out, only to make a sudden reappearance during the Grunge era

13. I think I saw a young picture of my grandfather with one of them...

I don't know, it looks like you've got a scab under your nose or something. Hitler wearing one was probably the best thing to ever happen to that mostasche.

Maybe some other tyrants can get rid of some of our other annoying trends by making them uncool.
