19 People With Mullets Who Showcased Their Haircuts At Mulletfest 2020

There are not many things that withstand the test of time and you may have thought that mullets are definitely not one of them. But you’re wrong. There’s even an annual festival called "Mulletfest" in Kurri Kurri, Australia dedicated to honoring these hairstyles. London-based photographer Craig Gibson traveled there to photograph the best of the 2020 contestants.

"I'd seen the festival online and researched it by watching various YouTube videos and following hashtags and then I just decided to book a flight and go. The festival seemed quite loud, but I wanted to make something a bit quieter and fashion-based,” the photographer says to Bored Panda.

In his series "Kentucky Waterfalls," he captures some of the faces of the competition of all ages from all over the world. His aim was to capture a more intimate side of the event and its attendees, so he chose to wander around and ask people whether they would like to take an interesting portrait. Here are the best photos that he captured there.

AAUUUGGGHH!! I hate mullets (no offense to you people who have them, you are all perfectly fine I just disagree with your hairstyle choice) and looking through this list was absolutely grueling... so many of these people would look SO much better if they just cut that awkward strip of hair dangling from the back of their head!!!

I'm not a fan of the aesthetic of the mullet, but it sure is a very brave hairdo. I think you'd have to have a lot of character to pull off a mullet and be totally unfazed about the general opinion on them. Good on these guys.

I have to admit that some of the guys here looks pretty cute even with mullets. That isn't the most annoying haircut after all. "let me talk to the manager" Karen's hairdo definitely takes the cake. I hope that they won't make that convention and accidentally summon a satan waiting "too long" at the reception.

When I was doing a lot of traveling/working in Portugal and Spain during 2010 I did see quite a few younger women with mullets. They were likely part of the counter-culture, but they wore them proudly.

Actually, I believe their really popular in Australia, though, at least where I live, America has their fair share of mullets! It's supposedly "business in the front, party in the back", I suppose it does look a bit odd the first couple times, but their actually really creative and artistic if you look closely! :D
