A fake hair style, made popular by middle-age men, who are not accepting their male-patterned baldness but instead, insist their impending baldness is a hair style.
Jim: Wow, Mike, you are really starting to go bald!
Mike: Na man, I'm not going bald, it's my new reverse-fade hair cut.
Jim: Bro, you are in denial!
Mike: No, seriously, it is a new hair cut that is driving all the girls wild.
Jim: Man, you are lost. Nobody is buying that! Bro, you are bald. Accept it. Now, go grab your pickleball paddle and join all the other old guys with their "reverse-fades."
Mike: You're a jerk, Jim.
