Spiky hair is the process of using gel and hairspray to make the hair stand on end like spikes sticking out of the head. It's often associated with late '70s Hair and '80s Hair and the punk rock subculture of that era. In fiction, it's used to show that a character is wild and cool as well as being badass.
While spiky hair is prominent in real life, fictional characters are almost always shown with perfectly spiked hair despite the fact that it would get flattened while they're in bed or from the day-long rainstorm. While it is a typically-male hairstyle, it has become somewhat fashionable for women to have a spiky hairstyle.
A perennial favorite of the Friendly Neighborhood Vampire. Why? No one knows. Maybe it reminds people of fangs. A staid, conservative character suddenly swinging to radical spiky hair may be an Expository Hairstyle Change to let you know they're going through a major shift in values.
Compare Anime Hair and Shonen Hair.

Angel often wore his hair spiky. On entering the alternate dimension of Pylea the different supernatural rules allowed him to see his reflection and he reacted with distress, suggesting this is some horrible grooming accident created by his vampirism.

The Simpsons:
Bart Simpson's hair is a bunch of triangles pointing straight up on the flat top of head. Depending on the Artist, they may cover the entire top of his head, or just the circumference. Lisa and Maggie have similar hair, except theirs points outward instead of up. They always refer to their hair as "points" instead of spikes. In all three cases, there's no clear division between where their skin ends and their hair starts.
Sideshow Bob, Bart's archnemesis, has huge curly spikes of hair that make him resemble a palm tree.

Final Fantasy VII: Machinabridged pokes fun at this, with Cloud forced to continue working alongside AVALANCHE after he was the only one of the group positively identified following the initial reactor bombing*owing to Barret ditching him to Shinra security forces after he "f***ed up" with the reactor bomb. Cloud tries to protest that the police sketch of him based on eyewitness accounts looks nothing like him (being literally a stick with Cloud's [[BFS Buster Sword]] and Anime Hair on it) only for Barret to bluntly state that those will still be sufficient for the average joe to recognise him on sight. Cloud reluctantly concedes the point.
One of Barret's more colourful threats towards Cloud is threatening to "rip off his spiky hair and stab him with it".

Christine "Spike" Nelson from Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High is one of the most outrageous examples of this trope...and it wasn't done for the character.

Because of Cloud Strife's outrageous hair, spiky hair is considered a trademark of Final Fantasy, even though it's a fairly uncommon sight in the series outside of Final Fantasy VII related stuff.
See that hairstyle on the page image? That (and his Cloudy Wolf outfit) originated from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, where Cloud's hair was toned down to comp for No Flow in CGI. His original 'do◊ has justifiably been compared to unkempt chocobo feathers.
Bit of trivia for those interested: Cloud's infamous 'do was a deliberate choice by the game developers; His original design called for slicked-back, black hair with no spikes. However, to make Cloud stand out more and emphasize his role in the game as the lead protagonist, his design to give him spiky blond hair instead.
Final Fantasy VII: Machinabridged pokes fun at this, with Cloud forced to continue working alongside AVALANCHE after he was the only one of the group positively identified following the initial reactor bombing*owing to Barret ditching him to Shinra security forces after he "f***ed up" with the reactor bomb. Cloud tries to protest that the police sketch of him based on eyewitness accounts looks nothing like him (being literally a stick with Cloud's [[BFS Buster Sword]] and Anime Hair on it) only for Barret to bluntly state that those will still be sufficient for the average joe to recognise him on sight. Cloud reluctantly concedes the point.
One of Barret's more colourful threats towards Cloud is threatening to "rip off his spiky hair and stab him with it".

In the Power Rangers Wild Force episode "Forever Red", Tommy Oliver has switched to this hairstyle, which is jarring to older viewers because previously he'd been a long hair whose hair had lengthened with each passing season. It's still short and spiky when he returns as a regular cast member in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder.

Phoenix Wright from the Ace Attorney series. The rest of the cast frequently poke fun at him for it.
Several other characters have Anime Hair in varying degrees of spikiness, but the most obvious is Furio Tigre from Trials & Tribulations. It enables him to impersonate Phoenix, despite otherwise looking nothing like him.
