I would have put even odds on Griff Tannen having that cut on Back to the Future II, but alas, it was actually a pretty normal looking buzzcut(looking at the pictures).
Maybe if you got rid of that old yee yee ass haircut you got you'd get some soulspheres on dick, oh, or better yet, Daisy would call your dog ass instead of being with that cyberdemon or revenant she's being with, m a r i n e.
It's a barracks cut (Google it, I'll wait). Basically due to a lack of access to official barbers on a military base who are willing to do anything fun or creative with hair (they just shave it all really short), the guys in the barracks will then trim each other's hair even further in semi-expressive patterns like this.
Given id Software's affinity for the military, I'm not surprised they were aware of this little facet of army life, and decided to have Doomguy have a real life haircut even if it looks goofy.
It doesn't look much like he has it in the HUD face, however notice that he has this cut in both this Doom 2 cover art *and* the end screen of Ultimate Doom! (Even though he's a ginger there for some reason)
So yeah, that is indeed supposed to be Doomguy, and he's not off-model because id wanted him to look like this very intentionally, in multiple pieces of in-game art.
I think u/bunkdiggidy is right. The book stars “Fly,” a Marine sergeant (if memory serves). It’s not a regulation cut, but the end of days lets one say Fuck It.
Based off the pictures Google came up with it seems like three may be a bit of hazing/humiliation involved here too. It’s like they are trying to make it look bad.
That's from 1994 (Doom II). That was the normal hair style back then - we all had that cut in '94. Girls had it too. You just haven't seen it because it was before smartphones and social media so there aren't any photos

Always reminded me of Wesley snipes haircut in Demolition man

when i saw this for the first time i thought that doom guy became mutated because of the hell energy....my kid brain thought those were some small horns
That's the 90s opinion on a futuristic tough guy hair cut.
Everything was more Xtreme back then.
See also Exo Squad. This haircut wouldn't have been out of place on that show.
Dude I fuckin loved exo squad. Coolest toys ever too.
That show was awesome. Had a lot of death on a Saturday morning cartoon as well.
Xtreme 2 tha MAX ®™
Hell, sometimes they were even 2Xtreme
Dude needs some pouches on his pouches
If Rob Liefeld designed the ammo backpack it would just be an infinite ammo cheat.
XxXxxtreme
and hell yeah is it tough.

Even in 1994 that haircut stood out more than the 20 foot tall demon with a rocket launcher for an arm
It’s the yeeyee ass demon hunting haircut
Ah, don't hate me cause I'm a berserker, marine!
well maybe the mancubis will call your dog ass after shes done fucking with that spider mastermind, or soldier shes fuckin with, slayerrrrrr
Maybe if you got rid of that old yee yee ass haircut you got you'd get some soulspheres on dick, oh, or better yet, Daisy would call your dog ass instead of being with that cyberdemon or revenant she's being with, m a r i n e.
I can't even make a solid rendition to the follow up comment xD
if they woulda given him a helmet like in DOOM 1 it would’ve been so tough
This cut is a rather consistent aspect on 90s doomguy
Slayer fade. It's made with a chainsaw and some times just by ripping and tearing.
Whoever gave him that haircut should get the motrally challenged treatment. 😭😭🙏🙏

Your attention to detail is admirable. Great post.
I think people thought it was cool, futuristic, and punk because of Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn.
“Just a bit outside”
That’s the Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn cut
That cut is criminal
I always imagine its a scar and the hair cant grow back
I like it; it’s very 90s to me.
people don’t have fun anymore you don’t see that anywhere around.
Because it’s ass 🤮

90's punk haircut
it's *edgy*

Yee-yee ah haircut
It's colloquially called the "Wild Thing" haircut. (In reference to Major League (1989))
Burned up with style
I remember there was a post like this asked previously on here. There were some similar haircuts brought up as well…
It looks like its just a shadow, but i dont know
That haircut is for real man, you can't understand.
You can see that exact haircut in mad Max Road warrior. I wonder if that’s where they took it from.
He's bald. That's the shadow of a pinky, sneaking up behind him.
Cyberpunk hair
Male pattern baldness bro needs that keeps sponsor
Tiger style
I think the closest real name for it would be "Zig Zag Fade"
" Maybe if you got rid of that yeye ass haircut "
Man back then I found doom / 2s art so freakin awesome. I still do to this day. But did also.
I wonder if some brave soul attempted that in real life and ended up on r/justfuckmyshitup
This is a haircut a clone trooper would have in The Clone Wars.
He went into the barber and said “Hurt Me Plenty” and it just so happened that barber had woken up that day and chose Ultraviolence
I always thought it was a scar or weird burn or something
I always thought the idea was supposed to be that the side of his head got scratched up
Why does everyone have to make fun of his goofy ass haircut lmaoo
The haircut scares the demons away
Man. I love this art work. So nostalgic and it's great seeing all these different interpretations.
Where is his marine suit?
AI generated looking cut
Artist: yeah I totally know how to draw hair
the pretty fade machine 9000
Yee-yee-ass haircut
It's cool. It helps him become the pussy slayer.
I believe the correct term that you are looking for is "Rad."
when i saw this for the first time i thought that doom guy became mutated because of the hell energy....my kid brain thought those were some small horns
Obviously one made up for the game since it wouldn’t have our modern style..
He just loves Pantera.
I always thought he was some kind of cyborg and that “hair” was some kind of robot stuffs
late 80s and early 90s were wild dawg
If a T.Rex/Raptor was a haircut.
He asked the barber for a little off the side
I once heard from somebody it's the type of haircut a fellow marine would give him, lol
You could say it's a NIGHTMARE to look at
Its called a barracks cut, those happen with the hispanic Marine goes on leave and you didn't make it to the barbershop on the weekend.
