    I'm back home in sligo for the summer and i'm noticing a certain revival of the mullet and rats tail. is it just sligo or have awful haircuts come back to bite us in the arse?

    I can now officially look scornfully upon young 'uns and their crazy trends.

    I haven't noticed this trend in cork. Must be a Sligo thing.

    I dunno about the Irish ones, but I'm just back from the back arse of France and there was loads of 30-40 year old guys sporting mullets in almost every village we were in.

    Haven't seen them in Ireland yet though.

    I was in Spain two years ago and noticed this worrying trend. Mostly hip 18-25 year old festival going types. Cut tight on the sides and long at the back. Thankfully it isn't as widespread in Irlanda.

    the Spaniards were the ones who revived it. or rather it never went out of fashion there. I remember being in spain, well over 5 years ago and noticing this on a lot of kids.

    I think soccer players are to blame for this.

    Total skanger look. Usually accompanied by a diamond ear stud and a baggy grey track suit. Millions of them in Dublin !

    jebus, those bebo pages are insane. why oh why would you want hair like that? there was a girl a few years behind me in school who actually like spiked the hair on top of her mullet... it looked like some sort of bird had tried nesting in there and the poor deluded girl thought it looked good...

    are you implying a straightened one would look good?

    RB - You probably haven't spotted them out your way as the young 'uns out there might have more sense. The city centre is simply teeming with young semi-scumbags who have them and as another poster said there is the diamond studded ear-ring and god awful tracksuits or sport type shirts.

    Why oh why is this back in 'fashion'? How do these young lads think it's cool or trendy? The mullet is perhaps the most ridiculed of men's haircuts and for a good reason. Who let this slip back in?

    unnecessary use of "semi"?

    god no ! either way they're terrible, but my point is that if these guys go to the bother of getting this horrible hairstyle then they can at least style it properly..
    but to be on the safe side they should steer clear of the mullet altogether

    All of the little shams around my area have it, and most of Ireland's... it makes them look like the muppets they are tbh. And they think they are god's gift to women at that, even the ones with faces that resemble a sandblasted tomato.

    Truly horrible hairstyle, even worse than the time they all got Mohawks because David Beckham had one...
