⚓ otonoshin as a sailor

Joel's house in Austin has never been left without my attention during all the re-runs, but one thought came to me about his hairstyle in the tlou2.

I mean, I've always wondered what could have motivated him to grow his hair out after twenty years of walking in the same length and maintaining it even in post-apocalyptic conditions. Of course it's practical, but still...

If you rummage through the things in Joel's bedroom (Austin), you can find CDs with his favorite artist, and in the tlou2 there are also vinyl records in his room.

Aren't they the same? Although, looks similar

I think his new hairstyle in the tlou2 is not only a visual component to show him from a softer side, but also his possible middle-aged quirk. Besides, Joel finally has some free time to play music, and maybe this is his way of expressing himself by copying the hairstyle of his favorite artist from the time of the outbreak.
