Ths history of the mullet is surprisingly complex. David Bowie actually had the first modern one, though his was based on a woman's hair style seen on a model in a Japanese fashion magazine. The word "mullet" doesn't even seem to have been used to describe it until well after the 80s were over. The style goes back considerably further -- Homer described Greek spearmen with “their forelocks cropped, hair grown long at the backs.” Wear it with pride, 80s Letitia's dad.
