The Mullet Species The mullet is no longer just a hair-cut, it has spawned into a species that fits in the lower hierarchy of society. A mullet, by definition, is actually Any of various stout-bodied, edible fishes of the family Mugilidae, found worldwide in tropical and temperate coastal waters and some freshwater streams. What kind of lifestyles do the mullets live and what kind of stereotype do they develop from it? There’s more to a mullet than just a definition. The traditional hair style of nobility and learned men, comprising of the short front, long back configuration. One common myth is that the Mullet hair style gets its name from the like-named breed of fish. Legend has it the fishmongers of Iceland cultivated the hair style to keep their necks warm and dry against the North Atlantic spray. Nothing could be further from the truth! The Mullet, has its origin in the ancient Palaces and Universities of Poland. Mullet is actually a compound word combining the words "mull" to ponder, and "et" a Polish suffix meaning eternally. Thus the Mullet gets its name from those who were forever engaged in intellectual processes. The mullet, as this cut is properly and notoriously known, is perhaps the most derided hairdo on earth, at least among chic urbanites. It is the haircut preferred by the sort of people for whom coffee comes with doughnuts, not lemon twists -- country singers, high-school bullies, farm kids, hockey players, wrestlers, truck drivers, recent husbands of Elizabeth Taylor. Thus, a mullet is no longer a haircut, but a species based on how society classifies them. For example, when someone walks down a street a points to the haircut, they don’t say “look at the person with the mullet”, its typically the haircut labels the person.Their stereotype developed mostly from the mid 70’s from the “butt-rock” era. Typical bands to represent a mullet are: Winger, Scorpions, Dio, Ted Nugent, The Marshall Tucker Band, Metallica (1990-present), Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Journey, Krokus, Accept, W.A.S.P., Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Slash's Snakepit. Most of these cases are spouse abusers and drug addicts. Given that the Beastie Boys have gone so far as to write a song called "Mullet Head" (featuring Adrock's first... ... middle of paper ... ...James Hettield of Metallica, who must have become tired of being told that he looked like The Cowardly Lion because he's gone and borrowed the burly Paramilitary Mullet long developed by bandmate Jason Newsted (who, in turn, has cut his hair normally). So while entire Mullet genres like Motley Crue-esque femme-metal have died off, whole new subcultures have mushroomed in their place -like cyberpunk, which unfortunately has very little to do with punk, at least as far as hair goes. In particular, one of the foremost sci-fi authors of our day, Bruce Sterling, has what eminent futurologist Dr. Erik Davis admits is "an egregious Mullet." In conclusion, it seems as though mullets will never die out because there is society backlashing at those who have the mullet haircut. Trends usually die out to the point where they are made fun of, but it seems that this is becomed mocked and people keep the spirit alive even though it is such a negative stereotype. It seems as though it is so bad it’s given the fishes a bad name. Perhaps we should ignore the species and it may die off on its own. It is only up to us to do this, and let the mullet end itself.
Alice Walker’s short creative nonfiction, Dreads uses imagery to convey her narrative about a hairstyle that was inspired by singer, Bob Marley. Dreads are defined as a “hairstyle in which the hair is washed, but not combed, and twisted while wet into braids or ringlets hanging down on all sides”, according to howtogetdreads.com. Imagery was chosen for this paper by the depth of Walker’s illustration of beauty that natural hair has that might seem to be abonnement or not professional by society standards. This reading sparks interests just by the title a lone. That people have mixed feeling about dreads, some might see it as being spiritual; or as a political statement. However, Walker loves the way her natural hair is supposed to form without
...le genres of music have been accused of selling out during the 80's Heavy Metal and Glam Rock were fused by bands such as Motley Crue and Poison to make Glam Metal which hardcore metal fans hated as it was not deemed authentic due to its over the top and feminine feel.
In addition to a rough, amateurish, musical style, promotional materials tended to have a homemade look, and clothing was intentionally distressed and often included bondage-style accessories (presumably to shock the older folks). Song lyrics embraced the banality of day to day existence and frequently brought the darker side of life to the forefront, nothing like the hippie music that took you on a “trip.” The punk movement developed an element of irony as some of the bands became more successful and signed with major labels, completely going against their proposed ideology. This is especially poignant as punk was initially driven, in the UK at least, by poor economic circumstances. Can a punk rocker with a big record deal
The term Punk was coined by music reviewer Dave Marsh in 1971 to define a new and emerging style in music and culture. Anti-establishment in nature, Punk took its influence from the culture clashes of the 1960’s, creating a new style and sound that had a tremendous effect on fashion, art and youth culture in America and around the world. The effects of Punk are still felt on the cultural world today and the lifestyle is now being carried on by a new generation of young people.

A few sound factors that have been influential are the fusion of different genres, and the sounds that are categorized as blues, heavy metal, and psychedelic rock. Their look was also extremely influential because of how different it was. They wore furs and velvet, along with ringmaster hats and flag capes. Their revealing jumpsuits and kohl eyeliner started to become their signature look at the peak of their career, along with printed neck scarves and wide brimmed velvet hats. Their sleek jackets and skintight pants are still very popular among modern British rock bands.
...as known for back in the rocker days of the late 1900s. Metal artists such as Judas Priest to Marilyn Manson have been accused “…of encouraging Satanism, drug use, suicide, and promiscuous sex” (Haenfler, 2013, p. 61). All these subcultures are seen as normal to the people within them. The idea of audience relativity is what makes society view them as deviant.
Punks and Goths have coexisted for decades and continue to be, distinct social movements built upon different music, films and fashion characteristics. The Goth subculture has survived much longer than others from the same era, for instance Mods, Skinheads, Hippies and Rockers. However the movement first emerged in England in the early 1980s (Subcultureslist.com, 2016) which continues to diversify, to respond to social and cultural changes. Post punk and Goth bands such as Bauhaus, Rosetta Rose, The Cult, Alien Sex Friend, Sisters of Mercy and The Crüxshadows (AllMusic:2016) have had an enormous influence and impact in forming and developing the movement we see today in the 21st century. In this essay we will be analysing the Goth subculture
Almost 50% of people with eating disorders meet the criteria for depression.Only 1 in 10 men and women with eating disorders receive treatment. Only 35% of people that receive treatment for eating disorders get treatment at a specialized facility for eating disorders. Up to 24 million people of all ages and genders suffer from an eating disorder (anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder) in the U.S. Along with all these appalling statistics, eating disorders have the highest mortality of any mental disorder(1). There are multiple causes of eating disorders leading to horrific consequences, but various treatment plans await those victims seeking to get help.
Its roots can be traced all the way back to 60s Californian garage bands who chose to eschew mainstream music by neglecting the conventions of rock music at their time, which resulted in the creation of a more raucous, hostile sound. Some of these garage bands weren't particularly knowledgeable in music (professional critics often questioned the musical abilities of these musicians), but that did not detain them from playing; it only added to their distinct sound. The DIY ethnic also helped shape the face of punk music; bands and followers alike valued independence and encouraged the notion of thinking for yourself. This mindset is what enabled them to stray from the mainstream. Bands that were playing music similar to that of Californian garage bands between the years 1971-1974 were referred to as 'protopunk'. Early protopunk bands include MC5, the Velvet Underground, the Sonics and the Stooges. In 1971, music critic Dave Marsh had coined the term 'punk', but it only became of common usage in 1976, when the genre as a whole had acquired the name.
The members of the bands that "metalheads" listen to also share in this identity which makes the subculture even more appealing to hardcore fans. The idea of this subculture is to be different, do not conform to mainstream society, be your own person. To a "metalhead" being a conventional member of society is seen as negative. This is not to say that they don't want to be part of society, they just want a society that accepts others and their differences. This is evident in the lyrics of the music.
