When Hair Loss Treatment Met Pop Culture
from:Hair loss treatment is a relatively new cosmetic means of dealing with the age old problem of hair loss. Throughout the course of history, there have been success treatments as well as treatments that were dazzling failures. Then, there were those treatments that backfired in the sense that they often proved laughable such as the multitude of bad hairpieces that flooded the market in the 20th century. From these hits and misses, one can examine the strange aspect of pop culture that deals with poking fun at hair loss and, more importantly, why people feel it is funny.
Hair Loss Treatment and Popular Culture
At one time, hair loss was not a treatable condition. Hair loss was a product of aging and genetics and there was very little anyone could do to reverse the effects of the process. This is where a great deal of the "humor" surrounding hair loss jokes in popular culture derive: the humor was derived from making jokes about an unavoidable situation which infers that the person who must deal with hair loss is a pathetic sole. Hence, much of the humor is pathos induced.
As one can notice in modern popular culture, there has been a great deal of lessening of these types of cheap "humorous" jokes and it is not due to a burgeoning of political correctness. Actually, the reason the humor is limited is because there has been the development of more than one effective hair loss treatment. As such, there are less people who must deal with the full effect of hair loss.
Of course, a hair loss treatment that is effective for one person may prove to be totally ineffective for another person. As such, a little bit of trial and error must be undertaken in order to find the hair loss treatment that is most effective for an individual. Of course, such serious deliberation has removed much of the "humor" from the equation and this is a good thing.
The source of the humor derives from a need to feel good about the self through the misfortune of another. Yes, most of the television sitcoms that relied on this type of cheap humor were not inherently mean spirited, but the residual effect of such humor and its impact on the viewer generally did have a negative effect. In a way, the programming could always claim plausibly denial about its negative impact. However, thanks to advances in modern hair loss treatment, such petty humor has been reduced and we are all the better for it.
