beard culture

Whisker appreciation movement

Beard culture refers to the social phenomenon and community surrounding men's facial hair—its cultivation, styling, and celebration.

The term emerged in the 2010s alongside the hipster aesthetic, encompassing beard grooming products, competitions, online communities, and the elevation of beards as markers of masculinity or identity: Beard culture has spawned a whole industry of oils and balms.
