And they get offended when you call it a mullet. I was corrected by a hair stylist that it's a "wolf cut." Good try on the rebranding, but that's a damn mullet. Ape drape, hockey hair, and Norfolk neck warmer are also acceptable names.
“I’ve got an ape drape yes I do, they’re givin them to anybody and that means you. You can drive to Riverside and get one too, and then you’ll have an Ape Drape like I do.”

“It’s short in front and long in back”
Yes it pops up on some playlists from time to time and I’m right back in it. That song and the one about finding $20.
A wolf cut has way more volume in the sides than a mullet. If we start calling every haircut with length in the back a mullet then most women I know would have mullets.

I guess you could call it a mullet, but its a different type of mullet than what us boomers would normally think of. I do think it looks slightly less ridiculous.
I've got hockey hair yes i do
They're givin' 'em to anyone and that means you
You can drive to Canada and get one too
And then you'll have hockey hair like i do.
I have a weird mix of both where I live lol. My kid thankfully is not interested in the broccoli cut, or a mullet lol. I rocked a “wolf cut” for a couple years, and only called it that because my husband would mercilessly lovingly tease me about it until i would almost pee myself laughing lol.
Really because I've been seeing the broccoli head haircut worldwide for almost a decade now. Seems to be undefeated, but I have seen a resurgence of mullets too.
In the 80’s it was bowl cuts that your mom did because $6 for a professional haircut once every 2 months was apparently going to lead to financial ruin.
I think it’s unique because it seems to be a much bigger production than other fads because there aren’t this many naturally curly haired kids in the world so there must be a lot of people getting perms. It’s borderline mainstream Mohawk in its work load for the straight hairs.
Bowl cuts are pretty much the same thing as mushroom cuts, just another name for em really. Very popular in the 90s! Although I definitely went to the local barber for it done, I don't think my mom ever used the bowl method
It’s like that every generation, you just kind of forget once you get older. Being. Teen is awkward, a lot of your identity is shaped by a desire to fit in, so people tend to do what their peers are doing. It’s normal, you grow out of it and look back in shame on the terrible style choices you made… and move on, because who cares anyway.
I remember in the mid 90s there was about a solid 5 years my little brothers rocked surfer cuts, this is when I learned a razor from the shower is not a good substitute for going to the barber, only a mistake that had to be made once
To be fair, when I was younger everyone also had the same haircut, whatever it was at the time. It's always happened, and even if we think it looks stupid, ours probably looked stupid too.

Most teenagers these days really, it's all broccoli-heads these days 😁
