Having lived amongst the mullet-headed for a summer (Oshawa Ontario provides
invaluable field study opportunities for those interested in this species), I can
offer the following:
the hair does not occur as a result of the watching wrasslin' or waiting anxiously
for the new Aerosmith record.  NOr does one drive a bitchin' camaro because of the
haircut.  All these things seem to occur simultaneously - because the individual,
for some reason, thinks - hey, this looks really good, and chicks'll dig me.  Other
popular items are acid-wash jeans, t-shirts with slogans on them (I'm with stupid
comes to mind, but that's a little more cerebral than most) and of course the
obligatory moustache.  Other offences to good taste I witnessed - a neon purple
pick-up truck lowered so it drove about four inches off the ground with purple
running lights and a chain around the license plate.   I dunno what it is - maybe
they just don't get cable tv or are trapped in a space/time loop which has trapped
them forever in 1985.  It's the Wedding Singer to the nth degree.  Scary scary.
