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.

[@coolcat6103]

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.

[@coolcat6103]

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!!

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

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
