Like most folks, when I think of Norway, what comes to mind are '70s punk-rock haircuts.

What a perfect way to express your free-spiritedness and individuality—by getting the same haircut as everyone else. Folks play golf in church and hockey on a high-rise rooftop and ride bikes in the office as the soundtrack thrashes and thumps.
