    This is the perfect synopsis of the mullet. I always felt like we saw such a resurgence of the mullet in 2020 because men who normally had to have clean cuts for the workplace. They had a chance to finally experiment with their style since they were all remote. The first reference photo I ever saw was Billy from stranger things. Great work!!

      Men's cuts in 2015 were so boring. Just side part after side part with a skin fade. Tons of hair gel Occasionally generic long hair.
      It got played out.

      Gen z loves taking things that we're considering uncool and tacky and making them cool by virtue of being young and for the youth.
      The best counter culture and way to separate ourselves from millennials.
      Fanny packs, socks and sandals, short shorts, big clothes. Even body hair. I love my unibrow and facial hair.
      I'm 21 and thought it was weird how millennials were obsessed with "it being so last year".

    Interesting. Having grown up deep in the Australian mullet culture most of the examples you showed (especially in the history section) don't really strike me as proper mullets at all.
    Also interesting to hear an international perspective on the "mullet trend". In the urban centres of Australia there was a slight uptick in the number of young, trendy types wearing mullets; but throughout most of the country the mullet's popularity seems to have been pretty consistent since the 70's, amongst footballers and people whose style is mostly informed by footballers.

    Thanks for the explanation and history. I'm Canadian grew up during the height of the mullet in the 80's and the style was taken to the extreme by our hockey players. I think it's still often referred to as 'hockey hair' in Canada to this day.

    The mullet i always think of first was my elementary school gym teacher's. She was big and confidant, reminds me of the bakery owner in Kiki's, but blonder. Long curly back, short sides, and all her hair in the front curving and pointing upwards.

    I feel like that saying about trends dying super fast if they come up super fast is almost always true.
    There’s very few exceptions, and when we’re talking about the modern mullet, it already had many haters including me. Unlike certain brain rot terms that have persisted in a trendy way. The mullet had hater, and it only had one group of people doing it, which were hippy white men who also added on the pedo mustache, and you’ve got only one group of people and a ugly ass stache ugly on ugly was bound to fall off.
    The modern “mullet” that was decent was the Jay Jo, but some people including me don’t really think it was a mullet, the back of the head was slightly grown out, but I think a mullet really has to be grown out instead of it just being a couple inches longer.
    But yeah, the modern mullet was used by some kinda condescending influencers and they just looked annoying. I don’t know how else to describe it. Many other hair cuts look way better than the mullet and pedo stache combo
