The 70s, they're back!!
There are an awful lot of young men with moustaches and mullets about!
Did I miss the memo? Anyone else sporting a 'tache or mullet?

Re: The 70s, they're back!!
You missed the memo. I-D said 2020 was the 'year of the mullet' it's just taken a while for everyone to go full Keegan. (Not just on men - it's a thing for women too apparently).Taipan wrote: Wed Jun 03, 2026 10:04 pm There are an awful lot of young men with moustaches and mullets about!Did I miss the memo?

From Wiki -
'In 2026, the modern mullet is recognized as a major men's hairstyle trend, characterized by hybrid variations that combine the traditional longer back with fades, tapers, and other contemporary haircut techniques.'
Dunno about the facial fuzz though - I thought beards and 'taches had been a thing for ages. Maybe they just dropped the beard bit and kept the hairy slug on the top lip?

If I leave my beard to grow it naturally splits into two forks, think Alfred von Tirpitz.

Re: The 70s, they're back!!
My lad is a prime example, bit of a carry over from his rugby days - they all seemed to rock a mullet and some facial fluff.
Even still now, and probably because he lives in Brighton, he has a 'tache with various other facial hair accompaniments, with longer hair shaved very tight at the sides.
He's harder and stronger than me, so rarely tell him he's a twat
