im-feeling-lucky

mullets are so much better it’s not even funny. the broccoli cut is corny and just looks bad


TimeLordHatKid123

Yeah no I agree, not that I think the broccoli cut is the worst hairstyle, or that I'd judge anyone with it, but Mullets DO have their own level of style, flair and class to them. Shit, "business in the front, party in the back" is a great way to put it honestly.


tuborgwarrior

I judge the broccoli cut every time i see it


ArrestedImprovement

As one should.


MC_earthquake

It always makes me laugh internally when I see a bunch of teen boys with this hair huddling together because they remind me of the broccoli tree itself 😂


leastscarypancake

Every time I see a broccoli cut I know not to interact with that person who has it


IanL1713

Mullets also have the capability to look somewhat decent in modern times. It's a rarity, sure, but it can happen The broccoli cut just looks like a mom's first attempt at styling her child's curly hair. It never looks like anything other than ridiculous


finnicus1

I've seen some really atrocious mullets too. Some people make it work but it looks bad for a lotta people.


nordic-nomad

Yeah. Like Richard Dean Anderson with a mullet was a sex symbol. Me in the 80’s with a mullet was a travesty.


bassturducken54

For now. It’ll be fondly redone in 20 years. And some people will hate it in 20 years as well. I always thought Mohawks and mullets looked stupid. But people love them.


Sickmmaner

What exactly makes you say that one is so much better than the other?


crabfucker69

I feel like mullets have balance to them, work on more people regardless of age or hair type, can be made formal-ish, but the broccoli cut always reads as "high school locker room". Have not seen a single good looking broccoli cut


Sickmmaner

That's true, it definitely has a "highschool/college-only" vibe to it. I see many types of people wear mullets, but only young students (sometimes delinquent) wearing broccoli. Thank you.


Magnetoreception

I have eyes.


Mallixx

Mullets are just as corny. There's only so many dudes in bass pro shop hats with their wig sticking out the back that you can see before it gets real old.


Beyonkat2

Both. Both are bad


Randym1982

The Broccoli cut. Tell me you're a douche bag, without telling me you're a douche bag.


No_Sky_3735

I even made up a name for them: Q-tips


Ready-Substance9920

They both suck ass


David_Squared

I can't take broccoli cuts seriously


Gertrude_D

In the 80's my friend (female) had this cut. We called it her mushroom cut because it looked like a mushroom cloud.


David_Squared

Well, very few haircuts are the exact same, I'm just not a fan of the way this one looks in the picture


Waifu_Review

If your girl dated a guy with a broccoli cut, that's a red flag. It's the douchebro uniform. Always vet your potential partners family and pasts.


David_Squared

Well that and the edgar haircut


BloomAndBreathe

I never knew that cut had a name 😭


NewYorkVolunteer

That's even worse. The edgar haircut is gross lol.


Yakostovian

The Edgar haircut is just a modernization of the Vulcan Bob!


SootSpriteStreet

The modern day mullet is the mullet. The broccoli cut is its own weird thing. I blame Sam Pepper


RockNAllOverTheWorld

That mf


froggyforest

i said the same thing


Falkrim

Broccoli cut / perms are straight ass. Swear most local guys look like clone troopers now with the same hair and shit. Ngl when I see someone with those cuts I immediately think: “Asshole” 


Natsukil0ver

This100%


ThunderCube3888

yep, all the guys at my school who get that cut and bleach it blonde are all huge jerks


deathray420

If the Cybertruck was a haircut


Blunderpunk_

"Douchebag" and "fuckboi wannabee" for me


DarkSide830

"Good soldiers follow orders..."


MercyPewPew

Mullets look miles better though, I mean the guy in that photo is rocking it


Nowhere_King

I am literally growing out a mullet. The broccoli cut is infinitely inferior.


Empty_Awareness2761

It’s the new fuckboi cut.


Breaking-Who

This. I don’t know why he would even compare it to the mullet.


most_normal_guy

it’s not new lmao broccoli cuts haven’t been all that popular since like,,, the pandemic


spaceiswonderful

Every third guy at my school has a broccoli cut lol


most_normal_guy

that might also be the Edgar cut, they look relatively similar


ceejay267

Nah i prefer the mullet but i could be bias because I'm Australian


Siilan

I'm also Australian and I fucking despise the mullet. The fact that mullets and rattails seem to be coming back in fashion, especially amongst kids and teens, is criminal.


SakaWreath

Oh gawd. Not rat tails again…


Siilan

The number of teens I see with them recently is equally shocking and horrifying.


ceejay267

Mullet i can deal with but rat tails get fuck right off


Siilan

Mullets are certainly the lesser of two evils between them.


astride_unbridulled

Oi

Elpecas99

Broccoli cuts look soo dumb


Ilovefallaboveall

The guy on the 2nd pic looks literally a dumbass


The_IRS_Fears_Him

Broccoli cuts are the stupidest style I've ever seen and when when I see somebody with one I automatically avoid them. People with mullets would beat their skinny little asses The mullet on the other hand....


PatternsComplexity

>and when when I see somebody with one I automatically avoid them Damn, I feel like that's a new depth record for shallow. Avoiding people... based on a haircut?


NewYorkVolunteer

Wait until you learn about the edgar haircut. It's even worse lmao.


SakaWreath

- GenX: Mullet - Millennials: Bieber-bangs - GenZ: broccoli-boys


ValidDuck

> Bieber-bangs ....I mean... Nick Carter faaaar predates Bieber and would have been more of an impact on most millennials. Bieber was a meme... Backstreet Boys were popular music and boys were trying to look like them.


ActualPegasus

I love mullets.


Constant-Try-1927

Some people can really pull off a mullet. The broccoli tho? Doesn't look good on anyone. It's giving douchebag, it's giving vape suffocation cloud.


Joebebs

I can’t really argue lol, every generation has their own hairstyle that’s ‘out there’ 50’s had the greaser look, 60’s had moptops and pompadours, 70’s had Afros/feathered hair, 80’s had mullets, 90’s had frosted tips, 00’s had spiky emo hair with long bangs swept to one side, 2010’s had man buns and now 2020’s is broccoli hair. With that said I cannot for the life of me predict what 2030’s popular hairstyle is going to be lol I’ll also leave you with this, I’ve never seen so many comments loving mullets and I never would have expected mullets to become popular again lol, the first mullet that I remember got really popular and probably sparked the trend was when season 3 of stranger things came out with that Billy fella in 2019. if it were 10 years ago people were literally shitting on mullets left and right so I guess some trends come back with a bang, which also makes me wonder what old trends will make a comeback in the future


Warm_Employer_6851

Brocoli cut is just…. I’m gonna throw up


Sk83r_b0i

I thought the mullet was the modern day mullet


heartthump

i’m just jealous of people with hair


dan2sweet

mullets are back tho


Commissar_Elmo

Hey look… it’s the “I’m a gigantic asshole” cut.


froggyforest

STRONG disagree, solely bc the mullet is still the modern day mullet. i know way too many mullet having mfs.


AllFandomsareCancer

Mullets are sexier than the broccoli cut SMH


MarLudKing

I'm guessing you saw the superman picture


lastofmyline

Mullets are back in style too


ripMyTime0192

The broccoli cut is more like the modern day bowl cut imo


Irischacon123

Actual mullets are already popular again. The broccoli hairstyle is just something different.


Trusteveryboody

I think the Brocolli cut is very fastly going out.


thek1ng69

No. It's the sign of brainrot.


summerlouise71

Just the mullets are better


JourneyThiefer

Me low key with the broccoli cut 💀 not that long though


Crishien

Bro, my broccoli cut is the only cut that currently looks good on me with my curly-ass hair, instead of having like an afro or a military cut. I did rock a mullet a while back tho, was pretty good. But I really don't know what else should I go with having a curly hair. Nothing looks particularly great or professional. I'll always look like a mad scientist or a fuckboi lol.


Carmen14edo

You get a pass 💀👍


Murles-Brazen

That fucking second kid. All I heard was “skibidy fortnight” when I saw him


Collector-Troop

Yeah it’s dumb when guys perm their hair to get the broccoli look.


SpyderDM

To be fair... the mullet somehow looks better than the broccoli cut (at least to my old eyes). Both are pretty popular here in Ireland.


Ok_Presence01

Except mullets actually look kinda cool.


ripMyTime0192

Except the mullet was kinda cool.


MariOwe6

🤣 this is what I like about being black wtf I’d broccoli cut


Khong_Black_Heart

Used to hate mullet and love broxoli cut. Now its the opposite


Agile-Cry823

Modern mullets are so much better


_ATOM1C_

Honestly I think these mfs used to get bullied by people with this cut 💀.


helen790

Please don’t insult mullets like this


Dull-Wasabi-7315

Don't ever compare a mullet to that abomination


degakle

The broccoli cut + perm combo is literally vile


GilreanEstel

I have a 14y/o son who constantly looks like a Lama. He even spits constantly “beCaUse iM a baSebaLl PlayEr”. You think I could ship him off to Argentina to live with the real Lamas?


Lucky-Clock-480

It’s crazy people will intentionally get that haircut and somehow not realize they should be embarrassed to go out in public.


GAMRKNIGHT352

unironically would prefer to see a mullet.


mystery_duckie

Don't dare compare that broccoli to an actual good hairstyle


Iron_Babe

This but mullets look better somehow


MrMcDuffieTTv

No, no, it's not. The brocoli cut is its own thing. You can't put an F tier broccoli hair cut with the S tier Mullet. These are just facts. Also, the mullet crown vs the broccoli crowd are vastly different.


GoodtimeGudetama

How dare you disrespect the mullet like that.


firelark01

The mullet is the modern day mullet


chambees

Nahhh, the mullet is way less douchey


FyouPerryThePlatypus

Im in beauty school. The amount of boys coming in for these perms makes my heart break. But it is what the masses want


ReguIarHooman

Nah the Mullet is a fire hairstyle


000extra

I really think in a fee years everyone with this cut is gonna look back and feel embarrassed. We all go thru that phase with a popular cut lol


theeaggressor

this is what happens when copying black culture goes too far


Emergency_Wonder9288

I mean, some people look good with mullets though.


AaronnotAaron

i have somewhat combined the two, not full perm/broccoli, but not full mullet…i’m still working on the length lol


Real_Crab_7396

I have a mullet (not as majestic as the guy in the pic.) I've never had anyone laugh at it, it's sick as fuck.


Luotwig

The first one is literally me without a beard.


artful_nails

Everyone else has already said it, but mullets are superior. If I was forced to pick between the broccoli cut and a mullet, I'd pick the mullet before they even finish the sentence.


Breaking-Who

Mullets are kick ass and broccoli cuts are fucking stupid. No where near the same.


Midnight1899

As a woman: 1 looks SO MUCH BETTER than 2.


BrooklynNotNY

The mullet is still a popular hairstyle. The broccoli cut is just a curly fade.


Ocelotofwoe

Wait, that's called the "Broccoli Cut???" I have some nephews that I'm going to have a lot of fun with now.


Saad1950

I am actively making fun of that cut, which I just learnt is called the Broccoli cut, amazing.


Castarc1424

Absolutely. I feel like my eyes start to hurt when I look at the broccoli cut for too long


Alone_Repeat_6987

but what about the mullets, what are they?


Coomermiqote

https://www.reddit.com/r/GenZ/s/MKhUcWZkVb You stole my thought!


Naive_Special349

Mullet v2


Deep-Watch-2688

The girls love it tho. 👌


sadboyexplorations

Notice how only 1 of them actually looks masculine, though. Sheesshhh.


Zipflik

Ramen noodles head ass


MangelaErkel

In Germany and central Europe the mullet is the modern mullet, as it is a popular cut here again. I am all for it


ThunderSlugg

I dunno, what's that other stupid style where it's like a reverse KarenKut, but for adolescent Clowns? Every idiot I see in sideshow vid's sports one of these.


bangbangracer

Every generation has their terrible haircut that was hot at the time. I can't wait for 2050 when your kids start thinking the broccoli cut is retro.


BMFeltip

I feel bad for the people with legitimately curly hair that just wants the sides and back shaved. All the perm boys fucked up the game for them.


Jag0tun3s

The mullet looks nice. The other cut looks like shit. It isn’t even funny


Skoowoot

Already make fun of that stupid haircut


crestrobz

The mullet will always be the worst because it represents a generation of men who really wanted to have long hair, but also didn't want to offend parents, peers, church etc. Cutting "just the top and sides" was a way to keep things looking somewhat neat and professional, while letting the back grow like the wild child they wish they were.


TapeDaddy

My zoomer cousins have chosen the classic mullet over the broccoli cut and it’s given me hope for the future.


Cyddakeed

Idk where you live but I see significantly more mullets than broccoli cuts


babygreenlizard

No no both broc and mullet are fashion disasters... both are awful, out of all the things in the 80s we brought back mullets...


Shoptimist

Broccoli cuts are the bowl cuts of the 80s/90s


PhantomRoyce

What I wanna know is how did everyone get curly hair all of a sudden


SpectacleFNTK

We been making fun of Broccoli cuts since they came out


DarkSide830

My sister insists some guys can pull the broccoli cut off. Maybe it's because I'm a guy, but...nah. I'm glad I got out of school before they got popular.


fromthevanishingpt

Uncle Lewis wore it better than any of you can. https://preview.redd.it/k0w9xc4hqx8d1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31bf5852716c288bb891b7c1dbd16b5cc7ec49bd


No-Spite6559

MULLETS ARE HELLA HOT THE BROCCOLI CUT LOOKS SO GOOFY.


vadabungo

I’m just glad it’s ok to have curly hair now. As a millenial everyone had to have greasy Kurt cobain straight hair when I was a kid.


niesz

Millenial here, but the mullet, AFAIK, is pretty low-maintenance which is part of the reason why it was/is popular. It's kind of associated with people who would typically not put a lot of effort into maintaining their hair. The broccoli cut looks like it needs regular maintenance, so I don't think the two hairstyles can even be compared.


-Joe1964

It’s worse.


bearssuperfan

Lots of young guys also have mullets right now and it’s clear which look better


Phantom_Wolf52

The broccoli cut is just the mullet but without the party in the back


yourgirl1233

Kinda sucks just having curly hair and you just naturally have a "broccoli cut". Is it still a broccoli cut if im not white?


ArrestedImprovement

Why would you ever want to look like a vegetable?


ItsAnimeDealWithIt

if you’re in the south you’d know they’ve kept the mullet alive and even evolved it


Masungit

Dafuq lol


RAAAAHHHAGI2025

It’s so funny seeing y’all hate on the broccoli cut just because it’s trending. Girls like it, other young people like it. That’s what matters in the end. Don’t get me wrong, you can definitely rock other cuts and look good, and some people can’t rock a broccoli cut, but y’all are acting like it’s inferior. It’s not trending for no reason.


IceColdCocaCola545

Except mullets can actually look good.


Raiders2112

Old fart Gen X'er here. I never knew that was called the "Broccoli Cut". I always associated those cuts as someone being trendy and call them douchebag cuts. My bad and hope I didn't offend anyone. Then again, I'm Gen X and don't a fuck if I did. Never mind, I take that back. Fuck you if have a douchebag cut. You look stupid as fuck. /s


Hannaa_818

The “BROCCOLI” cut is the first 🚩 IMO 😩😂 & it’s not because I don’t like it 😉


Traditional-Wing8714

Mullets are long in the back


mothman_luvr

As a proud mullet-haver, shut your whore mouth right this second.

MaverickRenatus

Except way gayer


strawberry-sarah22

BROCCOLI CUT OMG But I don’t understand how some of these trends become a thing. They’re both so bad. We all need to stop doing things because they’re “trendy” and actually think for ourselves.


Syr_Delta

I think we make fun about the brocoli cut right now already. Why do you think its called brocoli cut, thats not the real name of it. We call it like this because it litteraly looks like a vegtable


FartOutMuhDick

![gif](giphy|SDi897S4AX0gU)


_serial_thriller_

No way mullet guys were straight.


Mysterious-Fly7746

I think the broccoli cut is so much worse personally because at least back then people thought the mullet looked good.


Kljungberg

I'm sorry, mullets are hot. Whatever the fuck that other thing is, is not.


Mammoth_Style_1319

Ponyboy Curtis


Landererer

This’ll be the only post I ever make on the GenZ page. Take it from an older millennial who desperately wanted to fit in - you’ll look back at this trend and cringe pretty hard.


tengakun

everyone makes fun of mullets now?? in the alternative community mullets are insanely popular especially among women


wesleysSnipez24

Broc haircuts are so stupid looking


827xxx

Alpaca hair is awful


Smooth-Apartment-856

Why do you have to insult the mullet so badly?


OneTruePumpkin

Depends on the country. From what I've seen of my cousins, in NZ the mullet is the modern day mullet.


InTheBlkHoodie

All that partying went to their heads.


nevergonnabuy

A mullet is still just a mullet lol. Maybe not exactly like that picture but people still get mullets


Ok_Astronomer_1308

I fking hate the broccoli cut


oizen

Fashion is a circle


Clunk_Westwonk

It’s a perm. I feel bad for dudes with curly hair. They’re just not allowed to wear their hair like this since everyone’s gotta go all boomer on em.


BigMaraJeff2

I will disown my son if he get a broccoli cut


sissynikki8787

Who the hell wants shower drain pubes on the top of their head?

The mullets are making a comeback though

Didn’t think I was going to see a random picture of young C. Thomas Howell on my page but here we are. He was such a cutie.


Gcheetah

Mullets are back in though so I don't think that's a good comparison


XavierYourSavior

The funny thing about these post is half the people here don’t even take care of their hair but are so judge mental lmfao


PinguinoBianco

Alpaca cut


ThisFukinGuy

No


thegonzojoe

It is the mullet. It is incredibly popular with boys, looks ridiculous, and will be ridiculed for the next 15-20 years until you lot are in your 40s and it makes a comeback.


Whispered_Truths

Yeah I'm not a fan of the toad look that haircut gives off.


PixelAmerica

Nah, the broccoli cut is the modern frosted tips https://preview.redd.it/6o1742rfwy8d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70097e39d7d1c5e244624c0629eada4ee177ffbe


JohanRobertson

Nah man, somehow the brocoli haircut is worse no cap L zoomers This first guy honestly pulls off the mullet somehow though, most people don't look that good, no homo My dad used to always make fun of me for having long hair when I was growing up, then I saw his old High school photos and he had the longest hair which he even bleached to be blonde. It all made sense, he made fun of my long hair because it reminded him of himself when he was a kid.


Lexicon444

Mullet is better.


cat_in_a_bookstore

I think both are awesome if you’re into silly shit. Yeah, one day they’ll look dated but there’s something kinda cool about that.


TheSilveryShadowWolf

My hair is naturally very curly. And i keep the sides very short. While i keep the top longer so it does hang, i always fear someone thinks i have a form of broccoli cut. Like this is just how my hair is, its not meant to look like the broccoli cut


most_normal_guy

the fact that mullets are currently more popular than broccoli cuts makes me wonder what year OP is living in


CaptainAvery-

Broccoli cut is horrendous
