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).

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?

I’m currently living in Mullet Central.
The shock factor has diminished but I still play Mullet of the Day

Full beard so not a tache but I had a full blown mullet a few years back. Had it for a couple of years.

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

I can do a good skullet these days.

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 :lol:

So: Where is the line? What is the minimum age to rock the full ZZ Top look? Your public needs to know. :think:
