Yeah, we also call it "svenskerhår" because the Swedish love playing ice hockey.

My sense is "mullet" dates back to the mid-late 80s.

[Syt]

I don't know when the term "mullet" came into being, but back in the day we used to call the "business up front, party in the back" look Hockey Hair.

I would have thought so too. Apparently, though, the term itself is a 90s term.

Why do I Just know that's a video of Rush, without having to click on it?

That would be *cool*. No, this is much worse and much more Canadian.

If so, yes a tenner.

That sounds / feels about right.  Back in the 1980s, Hockey Hair was seen as stylish.  But by the 1990s it came to be mocked.  You can't give something a mocking name like mullet if it's popular.

[Admiral Yi]

I've heard "the teens."

You've got as much right as anyone else to name it and see if it sticks; hell you also write English better than I do.

Well, let's hope that doesn't catch on.

[Admiral Yi]

Well, let's hope that doesn't catch on.

"The noughts" and "the teens" are much like "The Department of Homeland Security," in the sense that they sound like crap and are easy to disparage, but it's difficult to come up with something better.
