Dont we try hard to forget the 80's? I remember them badly!
How about the mullet haircut?
Mullet is worst craze of all time December 07, 2008
THE mullet hairstyle is the worst craze of all time, an online poll has found.
The popular 1980s 'do trumped fashion disasters and novelty items to win the title of most cringeworthy fad ever in the survey, conducted by internet shopping store grabitnow.com
The shellsuit - a two-piece nylon tracksuit often sported by Kath&Kim foxymoron Kath Day-Knight _ was runner-up, followed by the irritating Crazy Frog ring tone.
The bubble perm came in fourth, while Tamagotchi virtual pets and reality TV filled fifth and sixth spots.
The Macarena song, ponchos, Adidas popper tracksuits and social networking sites rounded off the top 10.
Hairdresser Neil Moody said the standard mullet was bad enough, but some stars had managed to take the look to another level of poor taste.
"The worst mullets were definitely Craig McLachlan's when he played Henry Ramsay in Neighbours, and Billy Ray Cyrus's,'' Moody said.
`
`But Billy Ray gets a double strike for committing the ultimate faux pas: the crullet (a curly mullet).''
Moody said the current male hair-straightening trend would no doubt appear on next decade's list of bad fads, much like the curtain hairstyle made popular by Backstreet Boy Nick Carter in the 1990s.
Heartbeat Trends director Neer Korn said almost everyone had looked at photographs from their youth and cringedat their trendy-at-the-timeensembles and accessories.
``Fashions like the shellsuit are the things you look back on with embarrassment _ a bit like those enormous shoulder pads on women's suits in the 1980s,'' Mr Korn said.
``You can't tell at the time, because they seem so sensible. They were things you were actually interested in.''
Mr Korn believes fads are less noticeable nowadays because society is becoming more tolerant of diversity.
``In the past 10 years things did have their day then disappeared, but today there's this culture of acceptance, a sense of anything goes,'' he said.
``But I think everyone over the age of 20 would agree Crazy Frog should have been on this list before the fad even started.''
