I hate to tell you this, but the mullets were very real. It was a dark time and we’re all glad it’s in the past.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Mullets are back, my dude.

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 25 points 2 weeks ago

Like actually back. Popular, even. I get downvoted to oblivion for making fun of mullets. I don't understand a world where mullets are not just here, but defended as a legitimate hairstyle.

The party is behind us.

We gave our kid a wolfcut mullet, and honestly it’s working 🤙

Says you. We the transmasculine population refuse to let mullets die

In the past? Ever since that '70s show was on, I see '70s and '80s hair everywhere on every kid now. It makes me feel like such a boomer to want to yell "cut your GD hair!"

Lemme help you spice things up: Wait until you're passing by a guy who's super clean cut and wearing business attire. As you go by, yell: "Get a haircut, hippy!" It's funny every time.

Covid made me a hair farmer.
