"Mat Roker" always hear this term but never really understood what it meant or how the term came about...

if you're curious too...the article below may offer some insight:

Quoted from article:
"In Singapore, the government tried to stem the tide of "western decadence" by campaigning against long hair. Men with long hair were cautioned that they would be served last in government offices. Music, like the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's album, which was deemed to promote the hippie lifestyle and anti -establishment attitudes, was banned. Despite these attempts, the cult of heavy metal music still managed to penetrate certain quarters of Singapore society."

....didn't know the government had a "No-Long-Hair" campaign in the 70s......uniquely sillypore....
