@ when I worked at Target there was this very tall guy that I saw every couple of weeks, always wore black, studded leather, sometimes a trench coat.

They said it very fast and briefly in the beginning of the video. A shaved head normally means englightment and Buddhist munks often shave their heads for that purpose. The tonture loosely resembles Jesus's crown of thorns around this head. Which is why it looks like that.

It’s impressive sound design for sure I knew it was Skype and not a traditional on-site interview by the sound/video quality, sure, but immediately by the ringtone
The very reason that this was ever used as a haircut is because that's exactly how guys lose their hair when they age... the haircut is kind of like a "well there's already a spot there let's make it uniform and say we did it on purpose"
Could be true. Maybe they were just hiding that fact. Like how back then, those men used to wear powdered wigs because of some disease or illness (can't remember).
Joe Ligmama I played a roblox game today and i watched flamingo and in the roblox game i was building a boat and added a ladder and i climbed it and then i fell from the ladder and the youtuber said ”no im falling!!!” something like that
I plan to add that alternative for a character in my game. Though, this video was weird. The guy didn't give (at least in the video) any evidence of this triangular tonsure. He just said, so I assumed it had to be simple, and some modelers I knew did this design, so this is how it was.
Buddhist monks shaved their heads as a sign of letting go of attachment because back in the day, in the region having long hair was a sign of manliness and men were pretty attached to it.
As I approach 70-years of age, nature and nature's God are solving the tonsure issue for me. It is called pattern baldness. It does in fact resemble a tonsure, so now I can B.S. my way around my baldness. Thanks, Vox.
In my religion, we mostly had our tonsures removed as children or teens, to represent the removal of the evils of strep throat. We usually celebrated with ice cream.

It's a symbolism of Crown of Thorns
bc they followed the jesus
It’s a halo
FOR THOSE WHO ACTUALLY WANTED THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION “WHY DO MONKS HAVE THAT HAIRCUT?”:
(This is a very quick answer to sum up a lot of historical discussion)
- Hair = riches, power, vanity and sexuality etc. In cutting off their hair, monks were showing their willingness to forgo worldly concerns, principally wealth and sexual relationships - for the same reason, Christian nuns cover their hair.
- alongside this, short hair mimicked those who had become slaves, showing them to be servants to christ
- it is thought that the original disciples of jesus similarly cut their hair
- there was also a strong element of group identity; those of a religious order were instantly recognisable
- it showed discipline; keeping hair in this style required maintenance and not doing so was often seen as abandoning the religious way of life
PS most believe, I think, that the Celtic tonsure was shaved in front of a line running from ear to ear. The Roman = crown of thorns, The Celtic = indicative of slavery

The very reason that this was ever used as a haircut is because that's exactly how guys lose their hair when they age...
the haircut is kind of like a "well there's already a spot there let's make it uniform and say we did it on purpose"
This is my hypothesis as to why the samurai haircut has the top of the head shaved
Hahahahahahaahah i thought of it too
And monks couldn't afford Rogaine.
Same reason balding guys shave their head these days: "Bald is a choice, balding is not."
More than uniform. Id say it conveys wisdom.
i love how the question "why" they had their haircuts and for what reason is not answered
they did mention it at least: "possibly modelled after Jesus' crown of thorns"
