Australia's love affair with the mullet - BBC News

- The mullet hairstyle rose in prominence in the '70s and '80s to become a symbol of Australian culture and identity.
Now it has seen a global resurgence - and Australia has been particularly enthusiastic about its return.
Fashion expert Ailsa Weaver said Australians love mullets because they consider themselves to be larrikins.
A larrikin nowadays is thought of as a cheeky rule breaker, but in the 1800s larrikins were urban, working class youth gangs who used fashion as a form of rebellion.
"The mullet really can be seen in Australia to be a descendant from the extreme, self-made hairstyles of the larrikins," said Ms Weaver.

😆😆😆xD
You mean Bogans.
It’s like they could only afford half a haircut…
Don't they make you smile? They do me!
I had one for a while. It was a shame to get rid of it because my self-esteem was never higher. It taught me a lot about myself, and a lot about other people.
😂😂😂😂
You did the right thing.
Do what makes you happy. What good is a life that you worry about what people think. Grow it back
What did it taught you?
Finally a news station talking about what's really important
At least there is no propaganda in this kind of reporting
@@navyseal1689 - didn't notice the screen flash? I'm off to buy a communist pamphlet for some reason.
I hate to tell you Aussies, but Murica invented the mullet.
That’s a lie - Brits invented the mullet and David Bowie in particular
@@jrmetmoino one invented the haircut, just different groups and people popularised it at different times.
Homer wrote of the Abantes, a group of Ancient Greek spearmen who wore their hair cropped in front and long behind so they wouldn’t overheat under their helmets or he grabbed by their enemies.
Worst love affair...evilist hair in history
How the hell did Australia become the world's Trailer park?
Well, a couple hundred years ago, back in England...............
Bawhahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Scott Morrison!
They are still popular in the more deprived areas of Yorkshire!
Unemployed rockstar
Its the only haircut that looks like two barbers got to work on you at the same time.. and both failed.
"Business in the front and party in the back" the mullet hairstyle
Finally, a story that matters.
Ha ha good joke
@@BLUEMAGASONIC It been Coe-vid this, and Ukraine that, but the BBC are sometimes remiss on reporting the real news that affects all of us. 👍
Kosovo about to kick off, Ukraine already started, and we get fed shi'ite about haircuts.
Ahhh, America's FINEST export.
This was a horrible look in America back in the 80’s-90’s 😂😂😂
But people have fun! That's so cool ! :)
The BBC News bringing you vitally important breaking news.
Oh my Goodness! I m Australian and absolutely hate Mallet! 😮
This is considered news nowadays? A hair cut?
Man with Amulet is so horrible.
Oh silly me. I was expecting a report on fishing.....
Hello how are you doing ?
Still bad in 2022. Business in the front, party in the back. Whatever works down under, we love you guys
🤔
some simply
have not evolved.! 🥴🙄
I've noticed it becoming popular again, and I must say, I'm not a fan of that!
Jeb bill and Bob not a fan
My gym is full of students and I see a few lads with mullets, I can’t not laugh at them.
Me too, they're good medicine, they always bring a smile.Cheers'
Ah, the mullet. The 'God Take Me Now I've Given Up' hairstyle.
That's an Afro, isn't it?
@@JamesSmith-qs4hx nah it's the mullet
Oh my god the five year old me after my accident, loss of memory, in a taxi with my dad with a bleeding ear half hanging off, could have come up with that what the f.
Had one in the army at Ft Benning. They let me out early.
Rocking a mullet isn't just a hairstyle, it's a way of life!! It also doesn't require too much maintenance, which us Aussie love!
What’s nice about the mullet is if you lose the hair on top you can still have a skullet
Glad I don't pay my license anymore.
Wesley Willis did a song about what he thought about mullets once.
I just remember Toadie Rebecchi in Neighbours had that hair when he joined.
Only took them 40 years to catch on to this trend, stunning.
I prefer Mullets to Afros.
australians only discovered the wheel a few years back
@@astroboirap what's that? I'm from Canada
@@CryptoBillies 😅haaha
Did Aussies just get tv or internet recently?
The colonizer mullet ✅
I knew it was coming back when the mohawk came back. It was only a matter of time.
Their military should celebrate the mullet by allowing it as a hairstyle.
It is strange that some people get stuck in a 1970's fashion???
Ace reporting in these difficult times.
As a Aussie I can tell you we don't love it, It's only Bogans and Hipsters that have them. 99.9% of the population don't have Mullets or want them. It's only the people who want attention or too lack self care that have them.
What's a Bogan?
Thus the BBC will create a false impression that if they go to Australia, half the people they see will be wearing them.
@@johnedward8352 Australian rednecks
Rich kids and hipsters have ruined the working man’s hair cut. It is a trend amongst Gen Z I understand.
Geeze, you have a sour outlook on life ,Mike tran
Larrikins and Muppets,😂👍
Omg, mullets (we call it Vokuhila) were modern in the 80s and had a come back last year. Some people like it, others not, like me. Greetings from Frankfurt@Main
so confusing
They look exactly like the Mad Max movies now
Don't be silly! And carry on growing!
I never knew Australia is such a confusing place
Its not a mullet, thats a fish! Its a Mulle, pronounced Mool-lay, the e needs a little dash over it!
Careful there Australia! You’re looking like OHIO! 🤣
Where did Wolf Creek take place? Oh yes that's right
Something has to fill a void...
Someone needs to tell them mullets went out decades ago, not that they ever made you look intelligent
Went out sure they we're in in the 1st place
Fashion is cyclical, and no-one said they made you look intelligent, but they can make you look awesome.
You’re out of touch then as Gen Z kids have made them a trend here..
Makes sense Aussies would like the mullet
🎣
A Fish.
An Aussie lizard.
A Hairstyle
Human : make me ugly
Hairdresser : alrighty
I love it so much. It's so freaking good looking for men and women.
Never heard of it..🤔
It's true. Just look at Australian Tennis players Max Purcell and Dane Sweeny
Bahaha I'm Aussie an I will never be able to handle the responsibility of a mullet. With great power requires great responsibility.
Good to Australians for keeping their culture
Huh ? Lol. Mullets ? 😂. They are colonizers. Facts. Their culture? 😂
This amulet are horribles.
The Mullet comes from the USA! Southern states unfortunately.
Excuse me Sir/Madam
Are you saved?
If you died tonight are you going to heaven?
Jesus Jesus loves you
@ian1
West Auckland, NZ was another early Mullet centre.
I find it cool!
I’m glad I lived it a time before these haircuts was so popular. I’m sick of people always telling me to get one, it makes you look like an imbecile
My mullet is dangerous!
I live in Australia, it's not that common, you see the odd person time and time again but it's not all over the place unlike the 80s.
That’s true I usually see it on younger people usually the essays or bogan teens some older but late 20s early 30s men have them you see them on country people aswell. They aren’t everywhere like some people think but I will say I see a mullet at least once a day.
Even a goth mullet girls are rocking haha
bbc dermatologist of australia
Not a pretty person among them… no harm done.
Oh. My. God.
Love the Aussies and the Aussie spirit. Hope the mullet (we used to call it a "shag" in the 70's but that now has a different meaning) comes back in America.
Brings to mind crossing the legs at Charlene's happy "spunky" on Neighbours, circa '86 Eng. Different meanings.
Hate the aussies and the aussie spirit
u ever been to texas it’s been back
YUCK!!!!!!!
Medieval
Mel Gibson come on mates ...mad max 3 before captain Walker hair trim
Since the footy players and folks on social medier sport one, I think I will get one too! God, people are such sheep. 🙄
Idc what y’all say, Mullets are cool!
Mullet = bogan
It used to be the working man’s haircut. Not it’s hipsters and rich kids living in the inner city.
@@CarterHayes77 always been for the bogan..
Who cares
I'm aussie and I don't know a person who likes a Mullet.
Thank you!! Feels like a hit piece on our Australian cousins, a mullet in UK sends a strong msg that the person is of low class with a low IQ! It's what I call a seed narrative so when the Australian government come down hard we English will imagine everyone with a mullet.
To prove my point I've just read a comment asking when Australia turned into one big trailer park.....so the seed has sprouted. It's to remove any sympathy we have for Australian people when they're under tyranny!!
Far safer than seeing an Afro.
I think a mullet with a total neckbeard would be art!
Takes a 3 to a 6 don’t it lol
Not every Aussie loves them
it's a manly hairdo.
Mullets are a fashion statement. And that statement is I do not give a single fuck what you think about me. It's not for me but I can respect the sentiment and hairstyle.
Back then it was considered pretty and good, but today, yeah I just think that's it
Hail the Mullet from canada
It's ugly but i like it. I'm going to make a mullet myself
The Long Winter nights must just fly by
Ew 😅
Trailer .... h
Guh-ayyyyye
Ultimate hackiness. All Poms love and wear flat caps right? 💩
Mullet gets bbc world news really nothing else is more important to bbc news Africa middle east Asia everything else what’s the difference between you and sun paper
Bout time it made a comeback
Wow ground breaking
Hello how are you doing today ?
@@drakehonest2 yi yeah I'm good you ok
@@coolcat6103 Nice meeting you here where are you originally from?
Grotesque
I like mullets but I can’t bring myself to cut any of my hair short.
Yeah nah yeah mate
Australia, it's time we leave the Commonwealth, remove the King and declare independent.
I'm an Aussie and it is a sad sad culture.
Please watch Alpha and omega productions to hear what's really going on.
Can you explain more I'm curious?
Spam elsewhere
Most revolting hairdo ever.
It pretty much died in America.
Ozy Ozy Ozy, Oi Oi Oi!
Bogans and Yobbos. 🤷
I know I'm odd but what the hell. I'm Australian. And I hate mullets. Real haircuts should be clean, sharp and well-groomed. E.G: military cuts. Or just go full Lex Luthor. (BALD)
Why??
yeah nah
omg bruh oh hell no
