"the wearer grows only the upper lip hair and chooses to shave the hair on his chin and cheeks, whereas growth of all facial hair would constitute a beard as worn primarily by college professors, aging beatniks and men who wander around downtown with whom you don’t want to make eye-contact." (aim).
I myself do not agree with the definition of the beard, as all facial hair is perfectly acceptable, but hey...that's just me.

The facial hair goes back as far as man, like, if we look at chimps, it makes sense. But, shaving goes back as far as 300, B.C. to the Gilette dynasty, where man (or italian women) used razor sharp stones as razors.
Know who had a baller beard? Jesus.
More modernly, Mustaches were worn by military men, to show just how macho they were. Imagine being charged at by a dude with a mustache with a bayonet; what are you doing? Praying you don't get shot, but you know you already are.
Mustaches in this time showed how awesome you were; if you were a higher rank, your mustache was much more baller, then men on the field has less elaborate mustaches. It sucks, everyone should be able to have sweet mustaches. But whatevs. If you were the highest rank, you were allowed to rock a beard. So basically, the more you suck, the less facial hair you can have. It's a viscous cycle.
Now a days, mustaches are making a sweet comeback, due to hipster irony. It's pretty great.
