  The Haircut known as the mullet is a strange phenomenon. Mullets rose to fame in the 1980's and some people still attempt to rock the mullet 20 years later. The mullet died with tiger striped bandanas, parachute pants and the "miami vice look" but some people cannot let it go. Many of us have rocked mullets over the years and recovering "mulletheads" can be found everywhere. But some people aren't aware that the 80's styles are no longer fashionable. This page is a call out to those people. Please for the sake of your children, for the sake of mankind, Let the mullet die!  The Mullet as described on wilkipedia A mullet is a haircut with relatively short hair on the top of the head and long hair in the back. The mullet became popular in the 1970s, and was greatly popularised by English pop star David Bowie but was known to have been worn long before then. Urban legends have it dating back to 19th Century fishermen with long hair in back to keep them warm, hence the term mullet. The term was also referenced in the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke, starring Paul Newman and George Kennedy, in which Kennedy's character refers to men with long hair as "Mulletheads." In the 70s, the mullet was a short, square affair. In the 80s, it became big and bouffant, and mullet men often indulged in another 1980s hair craze - blonde highlights. An article Mike D wrote for issue 2 of the Beastie Boys' magazine, Grand Royal in 1995, proved to be a turning point in the history of the hairstyle. The article started "There's nothing quite as bad as a bad haircut. And perhaps the worst of all is the cut we call The Mullet," and went on to lampoon the hairstyle over several pages, including many photographs of celebrities sporting this hair style. Soon after the article was published, it became popular for fans of the band, and in youth culture generally, to mock the hairstyle, which gradually led over a few years to it being almost universally ridiculed.  His name is Clarence Billy Ray Cyrus: the leading poster boy for Mullets.  The Mullet was very popular in the 1980s but fell from grace by the early 90s.
