I mean, I like his music, but I can imagine he'd look far better with a more pedestrian style (although without the hair and the trappings I guess you probably wouldn't be able to tell Marley from Adam.)

This.
I've seen some beautiful dreads in my life, damn near made me want to grow my hair.
Yeah
No. I actually was watching a show the other day, and it had a white mom, kind of a hippy, with a massive dreadlock head, and all I could think of was why? I'm not a fan. It's their hair though and it's not about cultural appropriation to me, it's just weird seeing it on white people. Subconsciously I may be still affected by Jack Black in I still know what you did last summer.
I am turning it back, by appropriating the rat tail.
This is also true. Aside from certain hairstyles not "jelling" well with certain people's facial features, I feel another key aspect is that white people may not have the knowledge or the friend/familial group necessary to properly maintain Dreadlocks.

I just don't think it looks good with most white people's hair color/texture. Shit ends up looking dirty.

Maybe not but his music would still stand. Regardless he can pull them off because he was legit.
I have no problem with anybody committing to them if they want.

Well considering there's a religion that aren't allowed to cut there hair and that's just what long hair looks like on black people atleast that case should be excused, right?

Generally no, but Lady Gaga pulled it off really well.
She doesn't pull off the hairstyle at all, but that color is fantastic. I saw a young woman the other day with grey/silver/white dyed hair. Hnnngg.

My cousin has dreads and they look terrible.
Hmm? Weird Al doesn't have dreads, just really curly hair.

You know black people can't be jedis
Is that why white people ask to touch our hair so much? They trying to figure how to bootleg our fly hairstyles?
What about Mace Windu, Finn, and Ahsoka Tano?

Shh he's still in training.
First went out like a punk, the second one got hit with pym particles in the asian markets, and we don't know her finale fate.
You know it's rough when you gotta claim an orange alien and a

Yes, just because she has blue eyes doesn't mean that she's not black.

Dude said Pym particles
The reason for mockery is the same reason someone with a mullet gets mocked. It's the kind of person who most often rocks those hairstyles that invite scorn. And with dreadlocks, everyone knows one. The guy who smells like 2 week old socks and weed all the time. The guy who talks about herbal remedies non stop. The guy who has a Che poster on his wall but knows exactly jackshit about him. The guy who plays bob marley songs way too loud from an old boombox while sitting in a park. The guy who sits on a street with his shitty friends begging for money and cigarettes because a job is "too corporate man". The guy who plays bongos poorly in public places because he doesn't even have the marginal musical talent required to be the 'douchebag playing guitar in public for no reason' guy. That guy has dreadlocks. You can't help but see him in everyone who has them and it forces an instinctual guttural disgust regardless of whether it's warranted.
