    Every young guy you see these days is rocking a mullet. They look horrendous.
    I though no socks and shoes was bad then I see this.:eek:

    Kim Jong un was right to ban them.

    If you had watched Australian sport (Rugby League in particular) over the last few years, you'd have known the mullet never left. A timeless classic.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    They've decided to ban them in schools in Australia because, well, you know... some people don't like them.

    My fave was Dog the Bounty Hunter and his beautiful wife (deceased). The guy's greasy mullet dripped class.

    Sad basket, trying to emulate something that was the fashion way back when, but it is not a current fashion. Thankfully the mullet is long dead in this part of the world anyway.

    Maybe it's still a thing in parts of Germany or the American outback? Last person I saw on TV with a mullet was DJ Pat Sharp on TOTP 1987, he always get slagged big time about being the last person on TV to have one :)

    Your not a proper Aussie if you don't spend you're Satuday Arvo with a mullet, a VB singlet, a can of VB (or xxxx depending on where you're from) and a pair of thongs whilst watching the "footy".

    If I was a barber, I don't think I could bring myself to give a customer a mullet, I would pack in the job there and then.

    my 15 year old son had made a fairly poor attempt at oneduring lockdown, I had been telling that the mullet was great on him, looked cool and he should definitely get it done right.

    so he went to the barber for what he thought would be a fixer upper.

    barber cut it off.

    told my son if he ever came back with another one he'd be barred and gave him a spiel about how it didn't suit him, he looked a lot sharper and better with the style he gave him. Because the barber is sound, and my young fella is an impressionable git, he came home to tell me that i was out of touch, that mullets weren't cool and he had asked the barber to cut it off.

    best 20 quid tip i ever spent.

    i must be missing something, every young lad i see has a fade,short at the sides ,not so short on top.which looks awful
    the mullet is in style for female celebs and models.
    i cant think of any famous male that has a mullet .
    in the 80s almost every popstar had a mullet.

    I think a fade makes everyone look ugly or else like a member of the marines
    On the right person a mullet does not make them look bad,
    It seems to be still popular in Australia
    I think in 5 years people will be saying its an awful look
    I think barbers like it because it means you have to keep going back to get the sides cut

    But then I don't don't understand women going around
    with jeans cut to shreds
    I wonder what the next trend will be in fashion
    Maybe non skinny jeans like levi 501,s

    That high hairline look. Receding at the back, a “fresh fade” gone stale what’s the timeline on that? I understand a lot of folk have have little option, all the lesser so nowadays unless you’re going for that corn row or dread lock look but don’t knock the mullet it’s pure pomp

    Scientifically speaking, you can't be called a redneck for donning a mullet; it's a perfect sunstroke protector. That is, unless you are ginger...
