We can maybe chart the rise in popularity of the mullet back to 2016 when Zendaya rocked one at the Grammys. It received plenty of criticism online, but a few years later a number of other famous faces have followed suit. Perhaps the most famous mullet in modern times is the one rocked by Miley Cyrus — her blonde mullet has accompanied her glam rock style for an '80s-revival style. Other notable mullett wearers include everyone from Joe Exotic of Netflix's "Tiger King" to Rihanna, Demi Lovato, and Cara Delevingne (via BBC).

Some people have suggested that there's an ironic element to the resurgence of the mullet's popularity (via Vice). Per MEL, others have linked it to the LGBTQ+ community and alternative subcultures. The hairstyle has notably been adopted by bands like Australian quartet Amyl and the Sniffers (via The Malestrom). 

No matter the origins of the revival, it's clear that mullets are indeed back in style. However, they won't be to everyone's taste — getting one is entirely up to you.
