JNCOs coming back confused the hell out of me too. At first I thought it was just a fluke but it just keeps going.

Just because a few people kept wearing a mullet doesn't mean it remained trendy this whole time.

Who said it was trendy? It’s been around. Get out of the city. Go to a nascar race any time in the last 25 years. The mullet has been strong.

[-]

Affectionate_Ask_769@reddit

My favorite website in the early 2000’s was mulletsgalore.com which was just photos and descriptions of all of the types of mullets and also photos of said types spotted in the wild.

I’m curious if the mini truck will come back. Every “hot guy” my 13 year old self has a crush on was a 16 or 17 year old dude with a long ass mullet and a mini truck.

I'm actually happy it came back. The only reason it went away was homophobia so it's nice to see it's return.

[-]

BulimicMosquitos@reddit

Huh? That’s a helluva stretch there, Armstrong.

[-]

Moustaches were heavily queer coded in the 70s and 80s, and with the rise of AIDS anything remotely related to being gay was viewed as threatening, shameful or something to be avoided. That's why in the 90s anyone that had a moustache was called gay and mo fell out of fashion. Same with men wearing pink. Hell, people still think moustaches are gay. The moustache didn't make a comeback until Movember got the ball rolling.

[-]

BulimicMosquitos@reddit

Interesting. I associate mustaches with the folks that were hurling homophobic slurs towards me throughout the 80s and 90s.

[-]

HereWeFuckingGooo@reddit (OP)

I guess your own personal anecdote somehow outweighs history.

Malaguy420@reddit

Illustrious-Highway8@reddit

A thick mustache and a thin sleazy mustache are very different things, though. Not everyone can pull it off.

What I can't understand is the broccoli head that seems to be popular right now. I had a nephew that got a perm to achieve broccoli headedness

[-]

CherryCherry5@reddit

Yes and no. When cut very well, and to the shape of the person's face and head, a shaggy mullet type cut does look good, on some people. It's not for everyone, and the awful early 90s versions, a la Billy Ray Cyrus, can stay in the past.

[-]

closethebarn@reddit

Yes. I hated it then. I hate it now

[-]

Sipid1377@reddit

Same. It absolutely flatters no one. That and the Dwight Shrute/Jeffery Dahmer glasses. The glasses wear the person instead of the other way around. I'm all for people doing their own unique thing and not giving a hoot what other people think, but I feel people are only dawning these styles because they're trendy. I mean if you're going to follow a trend at least go with ones that make you look good.

[-]

closethebarn@reddit

Right even I see people making fun of the broccoli hair in my opinion is a hell if a lot more flattering than a mullet I see them as trashy or something Our generation the ones who peaked in hs and kept the haircut

Another thing I hate too is just a mustache.

I can think of only two men it looks good on .. sam Elliot and tom sellec Sellik?

I’ve noticed mustaches and mullets

Two things I just… don’t love at all on teens

Everyone here is participating in social media, nobody really cares it was a response to a question.

Back to the mullet, I care because it shows just how hive minded the modern gen is. They are right on schedule with cyclical marketing trends and it’s 100% due to the almost constant link of advertising to their brains via phones.

I honestly do not understand how any of them are pulling these girls who are legitimately gorgeous and sweet and smart and so far out of their leagues.

[-]

Because their dads all know each other or they grew up together in school. They start dating at like 14 in serious relationships. It’s one huge community here of generations that know each other.

Why why why?

I could not understand when I started seeing that around here. I live in pennsyltucky unfortunately. They are posers. One is dumber than the next. They go to fairs. The main attraction is tire pulls? I always say that wrong bc it makes no sense. The lead car drags another car down a strip. The one that does it first wins. Tractor pull. But they take or amp up a tractor but don’t have a farm? Those tires are so expensive and they have broke down houses. It’s always sponsored. It’s hot as hell and stinks. Sorry I go on these rants and I get zero invites to my partners family gatherings where they love this shit.

Youth fashion is only cool if older people don't like it. If you want it to go away, just be fine with it. Hair gets shorter or longer on different parts of the head every generation since time began. It's really no big deal. What boggles me is the idea of getting boggled by it. All hairstyles are dumb and arbitrary. Yours and mine included.
I thought being a liminal generation might give us some perspective, but oh well. Still, I'd rather save the reactionary shit for the boomers and x-ers.

I dunno, I think the mullet can look good on the right folks, just like how other hairstyles can look better or worse on some people.

I think it's GREAT! I laughed about them then and love getting to enjoy laughing about them all over again.

They wear them knowing they are cheesy and throwback and don't care enough about class and fashion to let it stand in the way of having a good time.

[-]

Severe-Lake1379@reddit

We called it the “hockey haircut” back in the day. Because it seemed most players had it. Reference Jaromir Jagr. It is a classic and it is cool. However some pushed it to extremes of course and I think that ruined it. I noticed my son’s friends growing it about 8 years ago and was surprised and also proud. It validated our generation of dudes were cool.

Tinyhulk27@reddit

Makes sense to me.

Fashion today is about comfort and ease. Joggers, sweats, yoga pants, hey dude/ boat shoes. No tie shoes for all ages etc.

Mullets long hair without as much trouble trying to keep it out of ones face.

And stuff always comes back

You just live in a temporal time disruption, you must be ~10 years ago by my count

My teen son asked me if I would cut his hair into a mullet. I laughed and said, “What is a mullet these days? I know you don’t want what I know as a mullet!” But sure enough… so I gave him a mullet cut and I still don’t get it! I will never look at a mullet and take it seriously. I think the rat tail may be worse though. Or remember when guys shaved their heads but left just a small fringe of bangs?

Not really. Fashion always seems to run in cycles. I mean, bell bottoms came back when we were kids. Remember JNCO’s?

Yes, yes it does.

I mean really men and women have always had shitty haircuts but yes it does make me wonder who actually thinks they look good with a mullet other than the sake of being a redneck or a joke.

My 7 year old loves his mullet. For some reason the little boys in our area love the mullets and it’s so cute. My son’s is super long and he said he likes how it feels when he runs lmao. I do call him my little hillbilly deluxe haha.

I can't see MacGyver trying to vibecode a lockpick, it's just not the same.

We’re in this weird mix of 80’s meets 90’s. Mullets with mustaches and baggy pants with oversized shirts

The fact that Billy Ray Cyrus not only remained relevant but also had a child who superceded his reputation as a joke one hit wonder with a mullet is actually an accomplishment.

Come on, how can you not think this hairstyle is beautiful?

I miss www.mulletsgalore.com

Also, even though people may conduct business from home now, no one ever stopped loving to party in the rear. Mullets will always come back as long as Canada is still a country.

yes, and the 70s moustache..

for a while i thought people were rocking them ironically, which i can kinda understand, but no, its not ironic, they think they look awesome and are "original individuals". smh

I see young people unironically wear broccoli mullets with mustaches. That's cringe enough. Now comes the cringe of the year: I seen a young woman doing this too. I don't mean a trans man, she had female clothes 80s style but her upper lip fluff was clearly dyed black. She was no middle east type or else, regular Caucasian zoomer girl. With a dyed fluff mustache.

I saw frosted tips today and thought the 90s had returned.

Mullet came back? Never left in Australia.

I hated it the first time around, because they actually thought it was cool. The guys who wear it just to rep their redneckness, I'm okay with. It's definitely a choice.

Nah, I was stoked to grow mine out after having it cut off as a 13 year old, because of a rumor that long hair wasn't permitted at the high school I was about to attend.

Not that they ever fully went away, a small elite of lesbians, bogans and rugby league players kept the long at the back flame alive through the later 90s, 2000s and 2010s so that it could burn brightly and gloriously on my shoulders once more.
