Revival
In the late 1980s curtained hair, derived from the bowl cut, made a comeback among fans of New Wave, synthpop, and electronic music as an alternative to the mullets and backcombed hair worn by glam metal bands. A longer, collar-length version of the haircut went mainstream in the early 1990s and was worn by many celebrities, most notably Tom Cruise.
Curtained hair went out of style in the early 2000s, but underwent a revival in 2012 among indie kids who imitated the 1930s version: brylcreemed on top and shaved at the back like a psychobilly mohawk, as worn by lead singer Win Butler of Arcade Fire.

Famous quotes containing the word revival:
“I do not think a revival of business will be greatly postponed by [Samuel J.] Tilden’s election. Business prosperity does not, in my judgment, depend on government so much as men commonly think.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
