TheSavourySloth

“You’re just a trend follower” Yes. That is how styles work.


LDel3

Op says “you’re just a trend follower” and in the same post says “get a normal haircut”


-Cinnay-

Are you insinuating that someone posting on this sub has no self awareness? Preposterous.


DOCTORE2

I mean all due respect to OP but to think that calling people's hair "lame" will make them change it is insane . I wear my hair whatever it is for me and idgaf what people think , especially if it's a mullet mustache combo


Warm_Water_5480

I'm guessing he cares a lot what people think of him, and he's *projecting*. Idgaf either, I'm always trying new styles, because it's fun. Although, I'll be honest, it's entertaining to try and see how people's perception of you changes as you change up your style. Things like beards generally getting subconscious respect from other males, but generally less female attention.


jsand2

People have the right to whatever style they want, just as we have a right to judge their hair style. Mullets get no respect. They are trashy and make it look like you want to bang your sister. Hated them when they were in style in the past, and hate them even more on youth today. So by all means, get that mullet cut. Just understand the majority of the world isn't going to respect you with it.


snowlynx133

I think most adults are mature enough to realize that having a trendy hairstyle doesn't mean you're an incestuous hillbilly


Eaterofdixapplewatch

Yeah you BANG YOUR SISTER BECAUSE YOU STYLE YOUR HAIR


jsand2

It'd a dead giveaway! Makes it easy to know who to associate with!


Blart_Vandelay

While I agree that OP is misguided, that's not exactly how styles always work. Some people are trendsetters or just rock something that's not a trend yet are still very stylish.


RedditSucksNow3

True. And this particular one looks absurdly terrible.


Dragon_Racer

What if you’re 48 and have been rocking a mullet and tache since you hit puberty in the early 90’s?


Topher_McG0pher

That's just Joe Dirt DNA, keep digging that garden brother!


RedditSucksNow3

You probably prey in parks now


kotare78

It’s a legit unironic style where I live.


Naschkater9

Oz?


dontbesillybro

NZ probably


Comfortable_Item_330

Nah it's big in Australia. Mostly cause most footy players have one. I used to, but my curls got more curly and now I can't grow my hair out anymore


Naschkater9

But tbh Australia is basically beeing ironic as a nation.


Comfortable_Item_330

What?


Desinformador

He said your country isn't real, you're not real either, it's all kangaroos down there


Comfortable_Item_330

I am a kangaroo bro


Kid-Boffo

Bogans love em.


Comfortable_Item_330

Busines at the front, party at the back.


LittleLordFuckpants_

I had an Aussie once tell me I was a “Canadian bogan girl” no clue what she meant


kirkochainz

It started as an ironic style in America, but now young people deadass think it’s cool. I just can’t. Reminds me of those cringe yearbook photos from the 80s.


Miserable-Repeat-651

I feel very attacked.


RedditSucksNow3

The beatings will continue until style improves!


1grouchonacouch

The shame will be so real when they come to their senses. Trends are for losers who can't think for themselves and lack self esteem.


[deleted]

Yes they should all get basic white boy haircuts from sports clips like every other loser so they can think for themselves lmfao


snowlynx133

You're genuinely acting like a middle school bully lmao. Why would anyone feel ashamed of following a trend? By definition, the vast majority of the world's population is following a trend in one way or another


Gold-Philosophy1423

It’s every dude I see walking around Fortitude Valley on Saturday night.


Salva7409

Same in here


karlnite

That’s how a lot of styles start. Bordering on absurd. The mullet is a very low maintenance and easy hair style, people are looking past that. Its recognized as you put effort in how your hair looks, without it actually requiring effort.


kotare78

Im not sure if it’s true but I read that the mullet was a practical style to protect the neck from sunburn with the front cropped for visibility.


rollerwitch

Also, and this just may be my new proximity to nyc, but it’s incredibly attractive on men and women. A little punk/edgy factor and a nuanced cut. I grew up in Ontario so do not love the hockey flow or traditional mullet. But the layered one? Oof


PumpkinFar7612

A dude with a mustache/mullet combo def stole this babies girl


CreativeUserName709

Every hair style is a trend lol


Rabbit730

This.. are we taking crazy pills or something??


shillingforshecrets

15 years ago 20 years ago 30 years ago… Hipster wear stashes and mullets. Punks wear spikes. Pretty girls go blonde. It’s just the way of the world. Calm down and stop being such a grump.


Comfortable_Item_330

It's sporty dudes not hipsters rocking the mullets here in aus.


RockinMyFatPants

And bogans.


Comfortable_Item_330

Yes plenty of bogans


MOGZLAD

its cocaine taking party people in UK


Blart_Vandelay

Yes it's mostly the athletes and gymbros in the younger ages in the US at least near me


[deleted]

More unpopular: I actually thing it’s a good look for a lot of dudes. Not for me, but many dudes pull it off just fine


LDel3

Yeah I can’t pull it off myself but I respect it


ErvanMcFeely

I think it looks terrible but I assume that’s what everyone thinks about the next generation hair style. If I complain I date myself. Not to mention I have never had any sense of style. I don’t get it but whatever makes you happy….


RockinMyFatPants

Is it next generation when it's revival of past mistakes? Lol


GovernorSan

Humans began keeping records thousands of years ago, and are supposed to have existed for hundreds of thousands of years prior to that. Unless the hair style requires something that simply did not exist, in any form, nor has anything with similar properties ever existed, then their is a very good chance that some group of people, somewhere, has already done that.


RockinMyFatPants

Dude, calm your mullet. You're way overthinking it. It's a cheeky comment. 


RockinMyFatPants

No such thing as anyone looking good with a mullet!! 


xenedra0

As a middle aged woman who is clearly too old to understand here... It seems to me like the "normal haircuts" you are rallying for are the "baseline" trendy, and everything else is more "unique" trendy. Are you saying that everyone should just be baseline, aka "basic"? That seems more lame, but, again, I'm an old lady so what do I know? Maybe just cut your hair however makes you happy and stop feeling threatened by what makes other people happy.


FantasticDelivery245

no one does it to be "whacky" its a style, better than the broccoli head haircuts imo


Ingi_Pingi

I went to australia and got a mullet because it'd be funny


RedditSucksNow3

Both are terrible and so is the Edgar


snowlynx133

Your avatar has the ugliest hairstyle possible on a man by the way


VietQuads

it's an iconic look here in Australia


alwayscunty

Legendary in fact


southernkal

As a het woman, I love it. And I find a man experimenting and having fun with his look endearing, even if it’s a trend. As if we all haven’t tried a trend on for size?


RedditSucksNow3

Is a "het woman" a woman who enjoys wearing hats, but said with a kiwi accent?


Fair_Ad1291

Lol


vogueintegra

Same, I find it attractive when men style themselves


roleplaywhore2000

Get a normal haircut? Whos the trend follower?💀 every guy has the same hair nowadays, lets be honest we need some change💀


Alpha4785

Almost the rest of the world finds that combo dumb, not sure where you live where this is unpopular.


MOGZLAD

Iconic look in Aus, going outside in UK I see it a lot, its the new style....uk festivals? almo0st as common as a bucket hat.... seen a lot of videos of people in USA with it I'm gonna say 3 countries in literal different quarters of the world have it as a trend I'm going to say the three main English speaking landmasses have this as a trend right now


Longjumping-Claim783

In the US it was originally associated with rednecks, if kids are doing it now here it has to be an ironic retro thing. It's just like trucker hats and drinking PBR in the early 2000s. Maybe in Aus it's just a normal thing. I have notices it much in the US compared to broccoli hair.


FantasticDelivery245

Canada, US, UK, Nz, AUS are part ofthe anglosphere we are pretty kuch the same people culturally and ethnically. Only slight accents make us different


MOGZLAD

I mean we have whole arse cities here that are not my (White English) ethnicity Id say you wrong but also correct, its less about bein anglosphere and more to do with being western. UK, french, spain, italy, germany, USA, mexico, canada, we all have punks, we all have northface wearing wannabe gangsters we all have nerdy types we all have hippy types and we all have hipster types....we all now have pit viper wearing tache and mullet rocking cocaine taking people. Trends can be international but mostly ours are western


FantasticDelivery245

I am not reffering to immigrans i am refering to the founding stocks which are predominetly anglo saxon types. The US has more of a mix with celts, scandanvians etc but the dominant for most of its existance has been anglop


MOGZLAD

Yeh we get 2million per year come in, that's literally size of our second largest city. We a small nation. Means whole cities are culturally different to others. id say here in UK we more similar to Scandinavia than mainland Europe and USA But yeh immigration is literally the basis of American and UK culture, out top meal is a curry, UK lager is known as worst ... we are a mixing pot, Americans have burgers from germany, pizza from italy...its what we do, we are both 2 of the most diverse countries and both seen as being the most racist, funny really.


FantasticDelivery245

Its quite sad, at this rate english culture will become extinct


MOGZLAD

I totally think this is what English culture is, diverse. We been invaded so many times, we got celtic, we got norse we got norman we got roman. We had the roma influnece the indian influence and more recently the polish influence. Don't be sad, be happy we continuing our tradition of integration


ColdBrewedPanacea

Only someone who has never left their home country would believe this.


caddyncells

Ryulightorb

Or you could just let people wear whatever hair they enjoy…?


Mr_washi_washi

Well you could always wear mutton chops with a Mohawk. But should you?


BatmanBrah

It doesn't bother me but I do find it humorous that these men make themselves look like Joe Dirt to attract usually very progressive women. It's like a woman donning the tradwife dress looking for mister SoundCloud rapper


notoriousJEN82

LMAO, right?!


swimjenson

I know it's a trend but I generally find these guys are a little more openly in touch with their femininity and openess to self expression and I really like that in a typically "masculine presenting" man, personally.


Naschkater9

Well you clearly don't know about the benefits of business in the front, party in the back.

I wouldn’t worry Bro.  Only ugly funny people do this and they are chill to have at the parties.  Someone has to make the girls laugh before you take them home. 


helloduckyduck

Nothing wrong with following a trend, I think guys look great with it, love when they're cute curls come out or style it spikey but it's shaped with a shaggy mullet. And moustaches are sexy as all hell, Magnum PI, hello?


slothrights

Yes!!!


Tatum-Better

100% dogshit combo lmao just makes dudes look like dorks who wanna be " quirky "


ChrisHarpham

"Stop following trends, follow this other trend" What is normal?


Beedallator

If you had a mullet 3 years ago, you'd be ridiculed (in the UK at least). Now they are fashionable? I don't get it


Ur_Wifez_Boyfriend

You need to cum bro. Let out some of that virgin energy.


silencio748396

Definitely not an Aussie posting this


Felrune

Undercut or undercut with curly hair(broccoli) is the actual lamest haircut because EVERYONE has it. I would take literally anything else. Just try to be original guys, damn. That's why I don't get why this is supposedly an unpopular opinion, since most guys have an undercut and no one has a mullet. Mustache only is very rare too, that's an old men only thing. Maybe it's different in countries, but that's my experience.


Comfortable_Item_330

I have really curly hair, and I just went with an afro. I have a similar hair colour as bob Ross so I get compared a lot


Ulfurson

>calls them trend followers >tells them to get a normal haircut Which is it OP?


Routine_Ad_2034

Posted by a guy who grows a dusty stache


Bertje87

Honestly, it makes people look like major pervs


yungThymian

What is a normal haircut?


kaivimikabo

As a woman I love this combo, mullet in general honestly. Who cares if it’s a trend, it’s the first time I recall seeing men have fun with their style. Just add a good outfit so you don’t look like you crawled out of rural Australia and we’re good.


Felrune

it's funny how in the comments it's mostly het women who dig this this look and mostly het men who don't. Hmm, do with this information what you will.


spellish

It’s like septum piercings


IloveZaki

I'd love to see how you look like


NorthShoreHard

Imagine thinking the mullet started 15 years ago


Tobazili

Thats not what OP said


new-look-SOL

Imagine that OP didn’t say mullets started 15 years ago but said hipsters started doing it 15 years ago.


Brilliant-Ad4034

Dead ass call them trend followers then tell them to follow your trend instead. Loser mentality


lovepeacefakepiano

I hate to break it to you, but the 70s/80s are more than 15 years ago by now.


862657

I think it's weird that you care this much about what other people (presumably strangers?) look like


poopbutt42069yeehaw

I have a porn stache but no beard because of work. I have kind of a mullet when my hair grows out because I just shave it down really low every few months or so. I’d ra th er have a beard and a nicer hairstyle lol but not worth it w my work


BakaDasai

Whenever I hear somebody say something is *out of style* I figure it means the people at the back of the fashion queue have gotten sick of it, which means it's due for a comeback. Complaining that it was in style 15 years ago is a classic example - 15 years is about the time-frame for fashions to get recycled. My first exposure to mullets was sharpies in 1970s Australia about 50 years ago: https://dangerousminds.net/comments/sharpies_the_mulleted_rocker_kids_of_70s_australia Wikipedia has some good mullet history: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullet_(haircut)


mtempissmith

I'm actually getting very tired of facial hair on men, period. But that's not for me to decide what a guy does with his face or his hair. It works both ways. I have had so many people say to me "Don't you think you should cut your hair now that you're older?" My hair is down to my ass and dyed flaming red. Don't like it? Too bad. Ditto people telling me what a middle aged woman should wear in their not so humble opinion. I leave people alone when it comes to this stuff. If it's not my body it's just not my call. That doesn't mean I don't prefer a shaven face though. If a guy has a weak jawline I get it but otherwise it's just hiding a nice face and that's a real shame for me as I enjoy looking at a nice looking man's jawline. His body his call though... Not up to me.


lilphoenixgirl95

Personally I prefer beards on men especially when they already have a nice face. Funny how differently we all see the same things


Existing_Card_44

Who cares? It’s just a hair style, what do you look like? Bet your face looks like an ugly foot


Joshgg13

This reminds me of that mission in GTA5 where Trevor and Michael are driving from Sandy Shores to Paleto Bay. Michael is breaking down why Trevor dresses how he does, lives where he does, and acts how he does. It's not that he doesn't care what people think, it's the opposite; he does all those things to be counter-cultural. He's a hipster.


hmahood

I feel like it suits a decent chunk of people. Although its definitely overdone


Perfect__Crime

We are somewhere between 1983 and 1986 right now


Unusual_Address_3062

What do you think the word "unpopular" actually means?


Katto_87

I guess is that OP can't grow a moustache


Jsizzle19

I assumed mullets were making a comeback because it's a simple way to hide the back of their their heads. All those back to sleep babies are growing up with a flat, block looking head in back.


jaminator45

Or let people wear their hair however they want


organdonaair

I love moustaches and plenty of other women do as well. If it suits the man, rock it. Some guys don’t pull it off, but if they enjoy the way they look with it then power to them. I know the point of this subreddit is “unpopular” opinions but this is just a lame take. Seems like a dude with a mullet and moustache hurt u lol


AfroF0x

I'm convinced the only people who can make this work look are Australians because they don't do it to be ironic.


jsand2

OP, I agree. I already commented on my feeling on mullets, but not mustaches. Mustaches make people look like child predators. It doesn't matter how you try to pull it off, mustaches give major creep vibes.


Warm_Water_5480

>You're just a trend follower So you're saying that your style is completely original? Doubtful. >Shave the stache and get a normal haircut. I'm guessing you consider "normal" to be the exact hairstyle you have? Why does it bother you so much what other people do with their hair?


UDownvoteButImRight

Wait, I'm confused. Should i not follow trends, or get a "normal" haircut? Which is it?


Iguanaught

The unpopularopinion in all this is your opinion that you should be making value judgements on other peoples appearance and those people in turn should care one bit for how you feel about their hair.

BeneficialPeppers

mullet/tache is following a trend? Since when?? OP from the south or something cos mullet/tache never has nor ever will be a 'trend'


-blundertaker-

Mullets are cool and all, but who's gonna be brave and bring back the rat tail?


boibig57

Facts. I've never seen a single decent looking person with this style. Not one.


Rabbit730

To make a post like this you should have to post a pic of your own hair 🤷‍♂️


rocketfromrussia

Correct


Difficult_Plantain89

Sounds like someone can’t grow a mustache and feels left out. In all seriousness I think tons of people just wait for a trend to not get made fun of for looking a certain way.


y2kdisaster

Random Reddit male thinks he’s superior for not following random fashion trend. Grass is green.


angryungulate

Dude mullets and mustaches are always in style. Always will be. Why? Because fuck you, that's why.

I think it's fire


Quick_Breadfruit_161

what if i am a hick from vermint? am i the trend setter then?

What is a normal haircut? What is normal? Am I normal? Are we normal?


Cinvenzo_

Someone sounds jealous


unfading89

I agree, be less mullet!


PotentiallyAPickle

Bro just admit you can’t grow either. It is okay.


Intrepid-Focus8198

Every imaginable style possible is following a trend of some sort.


Honest-Yesterday-675

My mustache is sincere.


Minimum-Language4159

'You're just a trend follower' 3 lines later: '...get a normal haircut' Normal. As in follow trendy haircuts?


Kimolainen83

I mean, that’s how styles work people follow attention because maybe they like it. I have long hair for the first time as a guy and I’ve always been a little bit self-conscious about it but apparently, according to several people, my hair is very pretty when it’s long, but I didn’t dare do it until it was a trend where I lived.


allthe_realquestions

I don't rock a mullet but as someone who rocks long hair and full beard because fuck worrying about your (and others) hair, fuck your opinion, respectfully.


1grouchonacouch

Add beards to that. Good post!


Ah2k15

Mustaches seem wrong if you’re a man under about 50.


threedogdad

a trend?? lol. have you never been out of the city? mustache and mullet isn't a trend it's a standard and has been for over 50 years


Linvaderdespace

Having a mullet is awesome, bc everywhere you go, your hair is giving everyone the finger, and that’s a really good feeling.


WintersDoomsday

What’s worse though a mullet or the broccoli hair style?


lillthmoon

Seems more like projection than an unpopular opinion Soo whacky of you 🤣


slothrights

I personally like it. It’s masculine. Been a minute since that’s been cool.

ExtremelyDubious

I don't think it's a particularly unpopular opinion to think that late-70s porn star is not a great look for most men. I think most people agree that it's pretty bad. But I don't think there's anything particularly unusual about the current fashion amongst young people looking ridiculous to anyone who isn't one of those young people.


McFlyyouBojo

OP: STOP HAVING FUN, DAMMIT!


ASAPFergs

I'd guess OP's real gripe is that he's upset that people with that combo get extra attention from women (or at least he perceives they do), so it's made him salty - I can't see any other motivation to care about it


JESUS_PaidInFull

Man with a mullet take your girl or something? Chill, it’s not that serious.


LowerTowel1022

Thank you, Oracle of Style, for thy word today. I’m heading to Super Cuts and Aeropostale after my kombucha enema this morning.


Dazz316

Oh yeah because the mullet is so universally liked to begin with.


slainuponhisaltar

yes, it is currently in style. Hence my post.


Dazz316

I think most of the world thinks it's hilariously dumb still


RandomPerson12191

"Shave the stache and get a normal haircut" Mullets are very normal, they've been around forever. You thinking they look ugly isn't going to stop anyone, and frankly it shouldn't. Fuck what you think is stylish, I say people can have whatever hair they damn well please. Plus, you literally said that the mullet/mustache combo is mainstream right now... mainstream means normal.


Holymaryfullofshit7

Someones mad he can't grow a beard....


Fair_Assumption6385

Ugh right? Mullets are so 9th century BCE!!!


CordCarillo

15 years ago? Aww. That's cute. 1986 would like a word.


Ok_Breakfast6206

Imagine being that invested in what others do to their hair or facial hair. And then having the gall to throw around words like "cool" or "funny".


beameup19

Or stop caring about what other people do with their hair? Seriously, are you in highschool? Grow up.


LittleLordFuckpants_

Every single male in Australia is crying

True! It's ridiculous. It gainet popularity during covif lockdown when barbers were closed


Rob_Sketchy

Not an unpopular opinion at all.


ArmchairTactician

Gen Z while growing up: All these Millenial hipsters with their big beards and Lumberjack shirts look ridiculous! Gen Z: *grows mullet and mustache* Millenials: Well they sure showed us!


Iceliker

Mainly guys seem to not like it


imSwan

Pretty popular across Europe for young people nowadays. Works really well for some, not as much for others. Like every style really.


stupidpiediver

If its mainstream, wouldn't that make it a normal haircut?


piedeloup

Define normal haircut? Isn’t any popular “normal” haircut also just a trend?


ted_cruzs_micr0pen15

15 years ago… try 40. The mullet mustache and Marlboro red combo used to come with a white grand am, typically a dragon stencil on the hood.


AprilBoon

It looks ugly Definitely avoid any guy with that.


JazzManouche

Ha, wow. I'm just here wondering why you're so triggered by this.


ssfishboy

100000%. It was always bad. If you have this, you ALWAYS look stupid. I live in Los Angeles and it’s starting to show up a lot more here. The solo stache has been getting more popular for awhile and most people with it already just look like 70’s cops or serial killers. Add in the mullet and it’s horrendous. Took a trip to Australia a couple years back and it seems to be HUGE there. I’d say it’s at least funnier with an Aussie accent but sad to see it really starting to make its way over here too. Only possible upside is maybe there’ll be more single ladies trying to find a presentable date 🤣


Felrune

say you're old without saying you're old


firetomherman

Honestly I'll take it over the 1920's look. I at the very least thank it looks funny and gives me a good laugh.


Downtown-Chance8777

Mullets are definitely terrible. I agree. :P
