Well, in 30 years we'll look back on the hairstyles right now and think the same thing.

Remember the NKOTB bouffant hairdo that was hatred in the 90s and 00s? I guess it's back in style now and you can tell how history will remember it.

It was a relatively tame one and probably the most popular back then. I know I had the same one but I was a kid. It was cool.

It deserves an award. C Hall's performance in this film is like penance for the last few seasons of Dexter.

Hard to believe that was ever a real hair style

His sideburns ruined the effect. Hardly anyone in '89 had sideburns, because they were still widely considered a joke from the '70s. It should have been cut about level with the top of his ear, like so:

Or to the middle of his ear at the most.

Bottom of the ear sideburns didn't make a comeback of sorts until a year or two later, mainly due to Luke Perry on Beverly Hills 90210. Commonly heard in the halls of early 1990s high schools:

"Who do you think you are? Luke Perry?"

Whereas if anyone had been sporting sideburns in '89, they probably would have heard, "Who do you think you are? Elvis?"

But the people following the early 1990s Luke Perry sideburn trend weren't usually the people following the "mullet" trend. They weren't called "mullets" back then, by the way. As far as I know, that type of hairstyle had no particular name at all. To get one you simply said to the barber or beautician, "I want it short on the top and the sides, don't touch the back." (or "[...] just trim the back.")

I don't dance, tell jokes or wear my pants too tight, but I do know about a thousand songs.

It's a solid mullet. It's no Nic Cage in Con Air or Van Damme in Hard Target, but it it served it's purpose and took his character into the 80's setting

Joe R. Lansdale's books are set in the piney woods of deep East Texas. Not exactly on the cutting edge of fashion back then or now.

Business in the front, party in the back. 

When I'm gone I would like something to be named after me. A psychiatric disorder, for example.
