People with mullets have more fun than those who don’t – enjoying more nights out, spicier food and a better wardrobe, according to research. While the non-mulleted folk lagged behind with an average of only three.
Being a free spirit, somewhat mischievous and ‘doing the unexpected’, topped a list of attributes those with the 80s-inspired look, believe they have. While those with more conventional cuts were less likely to think of themselves as a fashion-follower, and only seven per cent like to ‘make an impression’ when they’re out.

A spokesperson for Foxy Bingo, which commissioned the research to launch its ‘mullet-only salon’ in Newcastle, said:
“It’s no surprise to us that those with mullets are having more fun. There’s a real mullet movement happening as people get more experimental with their styles. We’re also on the hunt to find the UK’s ‘foxiest’ mullet, offering mullet-goers the chance to win a gift card worth £2,023.”
A study of 2,000 adults, 500 of whom sport a mullet, found those with the ‘party at the back’ enjoy an average of five nights out a month. The research also found the UK’s mulleted masses are more likely to prefer spicy food, are less likely to settle down to a game of monopoly – and twice as likely to suggest a saucy game of truth or dare.
