| Hozier, singing with a man bun |

So when did these things become popular?
Largely within the past couple of years. Google Trends is one useful gauge, showing a few pops of man bun curiosity in 2013, a surge of interest in 2014, and then an unabated rise through 2015.
That's a good proxy for public interest, but it's by no means the first time the phrase showed up. Man buns showed up in New York Times trend pieces as early as January 2012, and one of the first Tweets about the man bun came in 2011:

So the man bun has existed throughout history, but it's safe to say the bun really came into its own after 2012.
