I like it if it looks ridiculous or maybe ugly in a beautiful way,\u201d said Agren, who owns two hair salons in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think in our culture, when everything must \u2026 be perfect on social media and everything like that, I think that\u2019s why people have to stand out from the crowd,\u201d said Stiw Weber.<\/p>\n<p>The event featured an array of over-the-top performances, including beer-swilling, body-popping, and a live saxophone show. One competitor even wore a mullet haircut styled to resemble the Danish flag.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/orlandorelocationreport.com\/?p=3186\">At least 12 people shot at an Ohio street festival and suspects remain at large, police say<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The crowd screamed and chanted with their energy seemingly feeding directly into the various performers on stage.<\/p>\n<p>After every performance, judges held up scorecards to distribute points to the competitors.<\/p>\n<p>Forty-three-year-old construction worker Thomas Berg eventually took home the top prize after wowing judges by frantically jumping on a trampoline while clad in neon green gym wear. He completed his mullet haircut with an orange headband. \u201cI think it\u2019s just funny. It\u2019s just a big party,\u201d said a smiling Berg after collecting his prize. \u201cIt\u2019s just nice to be a bit outside the box.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though mullets have likely been around longer than there have been barbers, the Oxford English Dictionary cites hip-hop legends the Beastie Boys for helping popularize the term mullet with the song \u201cMullet Head\u201d on their 1994 recording \u201cIll Communication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The short-in-the-front, long-in-the-back coiffure was popularized by ice hockey players and \u201980s musicians, but later fell out of favor.<\/p>\n<p>Fashion magazine Vogue reportedly once described the mullet as \u201chistory\u2019s most divisive hairstyle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But in recent years, the mullet has seen a global resurgence \u2014 British magazine i-D declared 2020 \u201cthe year of the mullet\u201d as the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered hair salons and lockdown-weary citizens let their locks flow.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous mullet competitions are now staged around the world. Belgium hosted the European Mullet Cup last month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt comes back every 20-30 years. There\u2019s always a circular motion in fashion,\u201d said Agren, the Denmark mullet competition judge.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/orlandorelocationreport.com\/?p=3184\">In rural Florida, the anti-data center movement gathers strength<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business in the front, party in the back.
