This style involves tapering the hair from the scalp to 1 cm in length from the edge of the hairline up 2 cm, with the rest of the hair left at a longer length, usually 2–5 cm. The haircut's origins can be traced back to the early 1980s alongside the New York barber's Shape-Up, and it has since become a staple hairstyle among various cultural groups and subcultures in the United States and internationally.Different types of taper fades include the low taper fade, mid taper fade, high taper fade, ice pick taper fade, shadow taper fade, and blowout taper fade. In 2024, the haircut became part of a viral meme after musician Ericdoa sang a song about "Imagine if Ninja got a low taper fade" during a YouTube livestream, leading to Ninja actually getting the haircut and referencing the meme in subsequent videos and streams.The temple fade has become a significant hairstyle amongst African Americans and is also popular among Italian Americans, South Asian Americans, Arab Americans, and Mexican Americans, as well as within the American hip hop, pop music, and house music subcultures.

The menorah is a significant symbol in Jewish culture, representing the Jewish people and Judaism. Described in the Hebrew Bible and ancient sources, it was used in the Tabernacle and Temple in Jerusalem. It is made of pure gold and fueled by fresh olive oil. After the Roman destruction of Jerusalem, the menorah was taken to Rome and later to Constantinople. The menorah is commonly used in Jewish art and has been found in various archaeological artifacts from ancient Samaritan, Christian, and Islamic communities. Additionally, the Hanukkah menorah, a nine-branched variant, is closely associated with the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. The design for the menorah was revealed to Moses by God, and it is described in the Hebrew Bible as having a specific construction. Rabbinic sources teach that the menorah stood approximately 1.62 meters high. The branches are often artistically depicted as semicircular, but historical accounts differ on their shape. The menorah's historical journey and rich symbolism make it an enduring and important part of Jewish culture and history.

The temple, also known as the pterion, is a crucial anatomical structure where four skull bones intersect: the frontal, parietal, temporal, and sphenoid. Positioned on the side of the head behind the eye, between the forehead and the ear, it is covered by the temporal muscle and plays a vital role during chewing. In cladistics, the classification of land vertebrates is based on the presence of upper and lower holes in the dermal bone covering the temporalis muscle, which originates from the temple and inserts into the jaw. The word "temple" in anatomy has a distinct etymology from its use as a "place of worship," both stemming from Latin roots. The term "temporal," associated with the anatomical temple, is tied to the aging process of this head region, reflecting the passage of time through changes in skin thinning, appearance of gray hairs, and the prominence of the superficial temporal artery. Despite the resemblance, the name of the temporalis muscle does not share the same root as the Latin word "tempus," meaning "time." The temple holds significance in the study of anatomy and physiology, particularly in understanding the aging process and cranial structure.
