History and cultural significance

The first known literary reference to the hairstyle currently known as the mullet occurs in Homer's The Iliad.

their forelocks cropped, hair grown long in the back,
troops nerved to lunge with their tough ashen spears
and slash the enemies' breastplates round their chests."

The mullet became popular in the 1970s, due in part to the influence of glam rock artist David Bowie, who wore the haircut during his Ziggy Stardust and Diamond Dogs phases. Women also wore the style — Florence Henderson, a star of the sitcom The Brady Bunch, has a mullet in the opening sequence from the show's 1973–1974 season. The hairstyle achieved further popularity in the late 1970s and 1980s among entertainers with receding hairlines such as Anthony Geary of "Luke and Laura" fame from the soap opera General Hospital, and the pop performers Michael Bolton and Phil Collins.

In the 1980s, the mullet became big and bouffant, and bemulleted men often indulged in other 1980s hair crazes such as spiked hair and blonde highlights. A rainbow of mullets can be seen in the 1984 video of "Do They Know It's Christmas", featuring many of the biggest British pop stars of the time. An exemplary popular mullet-man was Richard Dean Anderson in the '80s TV series MacGyver. In the early 1990s, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus's "Achy Breaky" mullet fostered both imitation and ridicule. The 1980s was the decade spanning from 1980 to 1989, also called The Eighties.

The Oxford English Dictionary first included the word mullet in 2001 and cited that 1995 article as the first published use of the term; the entry also included the lyrics to Mullet Head. The OED says that the term was "apparently coined, and certainly popularized, by U.S. hip hop group the Beastie Boys." [1] [2] Yet, others have also speculated that the origin of the term Mullet comes directly from the 1967 prison film Cool Hand Luke, starring Paul Newman and George Kennedy, in which Kennedy's character refers to Southern men with long hair as mullet heads. This term is also used in Mark Twain's 1884 novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn when Tom Sawyer says of his aunt and uncle: They're so confiding and mullet-headed they don't take notice of nothing at all. It seems unlikely that he's referring to the hairstyle; rather, it sounds like it is intended to connote stupidity, and is likely a reference to the fish of the same name. (This is perhaps also what is meant by Kennedy's character in Cool Hand Luke.)

Despite its reputation, the mullet remains a moderately popular hairstyle among certain social groups in various Western countries. It is especially popular and even considered to be modern (vintage retro) in Portugal and in Spain and can be widely identified in the streets of cities like Barcelona. The Spanish mullet is generally shorter and lighter than a classic mullet, only using the last inch or so of hair above the hairline. It rarly extends beyond the neck Also in Spain, the mullet is associated with two different ethnic groups: young Gypsies and young separatists from the Basque Country. It is also fairly popular among the 18–34 age group in some East European countries, notably the Romania, where it is most popular among high school aged males. In the U.S. and Canada, the mullet is particularly associated with blue collar men, fans of country and heavy metal music, soccer fans, and ice hockey players.
