Mullets

You mean to tell me people actually get this haircut on purpose. Also, contrary to popular misinformation, the 80s trendy haircuts worn by groups like U2 are not mullets, they just happen to be short on the sides. A mullet is a bad haircut unto itself, lame short hair on top and front, long straggly hair in back, short on the sides...yikes. Real mullets were always worn by people who had no sense of style in any way and not intended as fashion. Just a way to keep one's long hair from high school or childhood, like the rat tail hairdo which is essentially a one strand in the back mullet variation. The equivalent of today's shaved on the sides and Frankenstein looking bangs in front hairdo.
