Out of genuine curiosity, do Kiwi men ironically get mullets or is it legit popular?

once you discover how comfortable stubbies are compared to pants
the mullet just kind of happens

I got a mullet back in 2015 for a few weeks. People seemed to love it. I feel like it looks so gross that people give you props for having the hairstyle you want regardless of what people think. Or they wanted one and are admiring your ‘bravery’

legit popular now, especially with all the rugby players having them

Now? I remember mullets being big in the mid 2000s when I was in high school. Must just do a lap every 15 years. Bring back the front spike with dominate wax I say 😂

The crown cut! If you wanted to battle with homemade beyblades in 2002 this was the cut to have.

Ahh the ‘skuxx’ cut, name me someone who wasn’t a complete asshole with that cut

Don't forget the patch of attempted bleaching

I live in Palmy. It’s popular here.
17
Taupo is also full of mullets

And Rangiora. More hair than teeth that place.

Rangiora is an odd pocket of bogandom. Remember when the bogan missile of choice was a crap skyline?

lol meth

I’m in Wellington. Seeing more and more every week. Not sure if I should laugh or cry.
2
Moved back recently after spending a while in Christchurch, there are so many guys with mullets down there compared to here. Wellington is almost certainly the capital of chicks with mullets though.
6
Part of young people trying to figure out their identity I guess. Don’t see many mullets past 30.
12
My friend has one because he feels it is a good asshole detector. If people treat look down on him due to the mooleigh, he knows they are an asshole and someone to avoid. Well that was his explanation. Not sure I believe it fully...
12
Asshole detectors of any sort are valid AF.
Seriously, I've raised my kids to not give a fuck what people think on the principle of 'asshole detectors' and its so valuable while they're teenagers.
Fuck conformity.
(no mullets, but my 13yo son rocks hot pink on the regular and he's got hair down to his waist and he's just like 🤷♂️ when people give him shit)

I can't stand them, never understood the appealed of them, but I don't like my hair to be too long.
10
Option C: It's basically Covid hair. I'll get a haircut sometime soon, honest.

I just let my hair grow out, figured might as well while I still have it. Maybe if I didn't I would look back in 20 years and regret not knowing what it's like to have long hair. But I absolutely made sure it was never a mullet.
2
I've been doing the #1 buzz cut thing since the first lock down, though thanks to my genetics it was inevitable at some point. If I didn't have a helpful wife to do the back for me I'd totally be rocking a mullet, either deliberately to make it easier or accidentally because of inevitably miss a spot around the back.

It's a ploy to get groped from behind by some pissed guy that thinks they are a chick.

There's some bloody brilliant/awful mullets in Australian sport. Article is a year old and they've gotten longer since! https://canberraweekly.com.au/the-best-mullets-in-australian-sport-right-now/

Have you had a mullet and shook it when it's wet? It's quite majestic
6
It's a state corporal punishment for those caught gardening
5
I have a hop garden for beer brewing, is that a punishable offence?
2
You better believe it, straight to jail.
3
Well that's a relief. No more work for this sucker.

No more work for this sucker.
AND you get a mullet!

Whoa whoa whoa you gotta wait for the police to actually bother to arrest you first so you can't chuck ya notice in for a while.
1
It's more popular in the provinces
5
Mullets are in — popular with the ladies.
5†
Which ladies?
13
Yes

Ladies with spiky topped mullets - the Shona Laing

Of course!
1
Half the boys at my sons school seem to have mullets, including my son
5
ngl considering it now
4
They are good at indicating that attempting civilised communication is futile before the first word is even spoken

Its popular. along with these abominations
You do you though

Those are... impressive. Not necessarily in a good way, but impressive. I must say though, all of those photos kind of look like the sunglasses have been poorly photoshopped in, and I can't tell if that's actually the case or if that's just what they look like. If it's the latter, that's actually kinda cool in and of itself.

Fuck yeah speed dealers

I call them redneck speed dealers

Like with any fashion, if you were old enough to wear it the first time around it's not cool. If you were too young (or not born) it's cool.

It would depend on the individual.
For instance, the guy I saw in the weekend at my nearest Countdown. Pulled up in his dirty Ford Ranger covered in dents with a very ineffective muffler. Parks on disabled park. Gets out, is wearing rugby shorts, a rugby top and gumboots. Massive mullet. Walks into supermarket, sans mask. Walks to beer aisle, buys 24 pack of cheapest beer. Talks loudly to nearby women about something to do with masks. Goes through self checkout that says CARD ONLY, tries to pay with cash, causes hassle. Leaves, drives out of carpark far too fast.
It was not an ironic mullet.
That's Jared. How he got promoted to assistant farm manager I'll never know he's a fucking numpty. And yeah. He geniunely loves his hair. Does it himself.
Probably the only one dumb enough to work 70hrs/week for minimum wage and one day per fortnight off.
Jealous just because you cant find happiness in your life with a box of piss and waking up every morning mate
Its a good feeling doing your hair yourself - I used to have a Mullet, its a one beer in sort of job cutting your hair while looking at the mirror.
Fucking legend
Fucking arsewipe

I feel like this didn't happen because how would you have seen literally every single thing that happened? I've never seen a start-to-finish supermarket mission of other customer. That's just weird bro.
Maybe the commenter is the mullet man himself.
Do you know the mullet man, the mullet man, the mallet man
Or his missus, who also sports a mullet.
I arrived as he did, and left at the same time. He only went in for one thing as did I.
Is he you?
No, he is not. I only wish I could grow a mullet like him.
Unless you work in a supermarket.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
