  Beastie Boys were responsible

  As detailed in the Oxford English Dictionary, the term mullet as derogatory slang for a mullet wearer was "apparently coined, and certainly popularized, by U.S. hip-hop group the Beastie Boys", whose 1994 song Mullet Head uses "mullet" and "mullet head" in contemptuous reference to mullet wearers,[4] and whose fan publication, Grand Royal Magazine, featured a reference to the mullet in a 1995 edition as the first published use of the term.

  "Origins of the 'term' - "Mullet" "
  They coined the name for it not the haircut itself.

  I remember calling them mullets way before the Beastie Boys were around.

  The internets are clearly wrong.

  I call bullshit! They were called mullets back in the 1980s. Not sure why--might have something to do with George Michael--but that stuff about the Beasties is all bullshit. I'm losing respect for the OP even as I type this.
