did the Lost Boys vampires have cool hair?

Yeah, I've actually thought about this at length before. Imagine being a young person forever
I thought the idea was because of the ages at which they were turned, they were eternally trapped in late adolescence, with everything that entails.
But also, it's Joel Schumacher. Don't overthink it.

If their bodies don't age, their brains never develop further. Sooo...yes.
I guess. Sorta like the Peter Pan characters the title references, forever kids searching for a mother figure.
Their goal was to blend in with contemporary teenagers and lure in prey by doing so. They would have followed every trend. If David and company saw the 90s, they would have been decked out in flannel and grown those mullets out.
They're immortals, they would have influenced culture and trends. 80s style could have been all theirs lol.
Or they're just good hunters.

This.
It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but I don't recall any mention of how old they are. I just assumed they were turned somewhat recently.
Children who are turned are angry because they are forever trapped in a child's body but have all the intelligence and desires of an adult (Interview with the Vampire).
I am pretty sure they were recently made vampires.
If not, there could be other explanations. Perhaps their affliction gave them arrested development, so they just remained eternal teenagers, following trends. Or perhaps they mimicked society to blend in and more easily hunt.

In Lost Boys: Reign of the Frogs, it's revealed that Max is Dracula's older brother and the "boys" were turned during that time period. However, there's plenty of dispute as to whether that is canon or not.
My favorite interpretation is that David is from the early 1900's during the time of that abandoned hotel that they lived in.
I'll have to look into that Reign of Frogs, never heard of it until now. Cool.
I like your hotel theory.
Yes nobody would have spotted anything weird about an old man in a house full of cute teen boys all wearing powdered wigs and stockings.
Lost Boys is scientifically accurate and I'm tired of the constant attacks on its cultural veracity.
For reference, in case somebody doesn't know what OP is talking about.
Anyways, yes their hair was 80s fabulous.
is that the comic where Edgar basically tells a huge ass lie about how cool he and his brother are to some newbie Vampire Hunter, and then subsequently eats shit and has to be saved by said newbie vampire hunter, further emphasizing the exaggeration of his story?
They were not following silly trends, they had decided that rural Aussie 13-28 year old was a timeless classic and they went with it. Rural Australia has yet to prove them wrong, it being as common now as it was on dodgy 80's Aussie soap's.
