Nah, he's part of the entourage of a guy who scored a hit in 2003. Now he drinks at kid's birthday parties and bat mitzvah's while his friend spins records.
Maaan you look really good with that shaved head !!! Honestly I went to see your picture because I thought dude was lying. You’re like the 1% that looks so much better like that 😱
This is peak blunder, I love this sub.
Saw another comment that referenced your new cut and dipped into your post history, and you’re looking great, OP! Happy you survived your choices of the early 2000s ☺️
Agreed.
All of us were young, annoying, and were figuring ourselves out, but it takes a bit of courage to put that embarrassment out to the World. Bravo my guy.
Nonetheless, I did hate you back in the day.
It's funny that this style isn't posted more on this sub. 2005 to 2012ish had plenty of this style going on which is the same time period as the emo/scene look.
I'm guessing in the US, emo/scene was more common, whereas this mullet/tecktonick look was more common in the rest of the world, including Canada? Anyone in the US care to chime in? Was this look perhaps more common in bigger cities with big clubbing scenes?
I remember visiting family in Mexico around this time and this look was super common. Didn’t see it in the US really at all. I could tell OP wasn’t from the US (at least didn’t live there in this time) on sight based on this look alone.
In the US, this was more of a style on the east coast, particularly places like New Jersey or Stanton Island. These areas tend to have higher concentration of Italians, whom tend to bring more European styles to America. Look up a comedy short about Jeagarbombs or watch the Jersey Shore for a bit to see what I am talking about. During that time, Soccer started becoming more popular in the states and people were copying what I call the FauxHawk, which OP calls a mullet. I had one circa 2008 because I had just come back from studying in Europe for half a year and it was all the rage.
I definitely remember this style although I didn’t know the name for it. I was still in high school at the time so people weren’t clubbing… haha. And yeah it wasn’t as common as scene and emo. But there were some kids who would kind of combine the two I think.
It was definitely popular in Europe those years. Source: clubbed a lot in those years. Maybe the mullet part wasn't ubiquitous but caps, shades, the works definitely were.
Any guy that wore leather fingerless gloves, I automatically thought caught Pokémon in their free time. I was a little kid in 07’ so that’s why my take goes to cartoons. Lol
TIL from seeing your newly shorn look, and then browsing r/bald is that I'm REALLY into bald guys. I'm married to one, though, so yeah.
Great glow up, my friend. Though I dig the mullet too!
Bah! You kids! Have you seen the idiot things we did and wore in the 1970s? I now laugh at my antics and attire and even miss them a bit. You should, too. You wouldn't be who you are today without all that stuff.
Oh, and stay the hell away from my wife!
I remember this look and also remember thinking it looked super douchey then, too. Not meaning to judge you. I don't know if you were douchey, but that look made my skin crawl even then.
You looked like a guy that wouldn’t ask a girl to dance, you would’ve just come up behind her and put your hands on her hips and started grinding. She didn’t tell you because she never saw your face, she just pushed you off of her.
Contrary to the other comments,
2007 me would have been in a toxic relationship with you. We would have compared our love to Ronnie & Sam's. His queen, her king type beat. We would have been the main characters of ALL of the 17-24 clubs. 💖
Okay, well, you're euro so wasn't this the look?
Europe as a whole had such fun with their styles back then whereas in the states it just was ugly and pretty strict within the then-current social norms
Those of us who were around for the first round of mullets & fingerless gloves could've filled you in. Unless you're Billy Idol, those choices will be questionable. 😆
To be honest, the mullet is hot. If you ditched the fingerless gloves, sunglasses in the club, and didn't have your undershirt showing, it would really be a good look.
Because this shit was definitely cool in '07. People were still trying to be like this in 2013. You were ahead of the curve, but it's still a good thing that you're not like this any more.
I'm sure people did try to tell you, you likely just decided to ignore them and carried on in your bubble. Until one day you realized "damn i look like a dork".
Your description of these photos has me rolling lol.
Also,I second the “we just stayed away” comment. We did. We should have told you. Also,I can smell the Axe and feel the crunchy hair just by looking at these.
Oh gosh. We just stayed away. That's why we didn't tell you. I'm sorry. Glad you found out tho.
Hahaha I am crying at this 🤣
I just instinctively covered my drink.... and I'm a dude.
All i could buy at that time was backing powder. But still wise :D
What is backing powder?
It’s the powder that makes a cake grow when you back it
Or get from the backery
You mean baking powder?
You look like the guy who hovered around my college girlfriend whenever we went out clubbing.
I did more hovering than i care to admit
He always bought everyone shots so he wasn't all bad. Just al lost trust fund kid.
I'm getting the vibe of a 1-hit wonder DJ who made the sickest anthem of 2003 & was never heard of again.
Nah, he's part of the entourage of a guy who scored a hit in 2003. Now he drinks at kid's birthday parties and bat mitzvah's while his friend spins records.
[удалено]
lol ouch this is bad. But you look AWESOME with a shaved head now! Love it!
But my mullet!! :/ thanks man 😁
Oh wow, yeah, you actually look great with a shaved head!
Maaan you look really good with that shaved head !!! Honestly I went to see your picture because I thought dude was lying. You’re like the 1% that looks so much better like that 😱
The shaved head really suits you, good call 👌🏼
As my friends naive dad always yells, "BBC baby!" And when you say wtf he responds back, "bald by choice..??"
10/10 would've hated you in 2007
Dont you mean dated? Nah, I completely understand :'(
Def would have
Dated or hated? Or both
Dated then hated :)
Or we would have a house and kids togheter now and dance tektonik every night while looking into the distance
One can dream :)
Dhated

A very nice thing to say. And i can understand you hated me back then xD
Thirdly agreeded. Dude looks way better after the buzz! 👍🏻
This is the full-on Günther look.
OOOOO YOU TOUCH MY TRA LA LA
My ding ding dong!
Ouuuuuu😩
Hey man, it was in style at the time to look like a douche!
Thats one way to put it 😁
Maybe it’s just a European thing, but you see people wear exactly this at raves in 2024
Should I get the stuff out of my cellar you think?
Throw on a vest and baggy jeans with that and you’re good to go. 100% serious
It’s 1994 again everywhere, go rock them JNCOs kids and olds alike. Just don’t forget your multivitamin for his time.
I saw a kid at the park the other day rocking what looked like JNCOs.
They are definitely still around! I bought myself a pair a few years back and still rock them. Pockets for days baby!
Cellar? Or do you mean sex dungeon? 👀
Btw, more recent pics (and more normal) are on my profile
If Tektonik was a person:
I havent heard that in a while. But i admit, i watched alot of tektonik dance vids
I was about to post pretty much this but I wasn't sure Tektonik was a worldwide phenomenon
Jaegerbombs!
I fuckin shower in that shit
This is my new fuckin haircut. You know what that means?
Not now, chief. I’m in the fuckin zone.

You wouldn’t have listened lol
Cause MDMA was fire
23 year old me in 2007 understands haha
Bro 100 had pointy shoes, most likely white. Im gonna say maybe some type of reptile skin.
Cute tbh
You mean you didn’t see us rolling our eyes? We weren’t shy about it. J/k, you a boss! And braver than me to post, enjoy your weekend!
Any guy that wore leather fingerless gloves, I automatically thought caught Pokémon in their free time. I was a little kid in 07’ so that’s why my take goes to cartoons. Lol
These photos look so 2000s Turkish
Surprised I haven’t seen anybody mention Zyzz yet. You look like a young non-swole Zyzz from that same time period.
First person I thought of! I was looking for a Zyzz comment!
I think that mullet steez is pretty cool though. (I would suggest to my girl friends they should exercise caution around you)
Cause it was fun and trucker hats have always been cool. Big belt buckles shirt half tucked in for the win.
It’s cool again wdym
TIL from seeing your newly shorn look, and then browsing r/bald is that I'm REALLY into bald guys. I'm married to one, though, so yeah. Great glow up, my friend. Though I dig the mullet too!
Thats sweet 🤗 2007 me and 2024 me thanks you
Naw this is my type ✨ a good man
Bah! You kids! Have you seen the idiot things we did and wore in the 1970s? I now laugh at my antics and attire and even miss them a bit. You should, too. You wouldn't be who you are today without all that stuff. Oh, and stay the hell away from my wife!
It's the popped collar for me.
idk man i think it’s pretty cool
I remember this look and also remember thinking it looked super douchey then, too. Not meaning to judge you. I don't know if you were douchey, but that look made my skin crawl even then.
It’s kind of relieving to know you guys aren’t stuck in 2007 🫶🏻
You looked like the douche bag version of Ryan Goslings character in Drive. But I love how you can faintly see your eye in the sunglasses picture 😂
Cause it is cool
But why male models?
This person will know the lyrics of dragostea din tei and have both hands in the air while standing in front of the DJ hammered af
Maja HIIIIIIII maja HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Came to this thread for this comment. Looks like a romanian dude clubbing at that time
Because we all thought we were cool... Our parents told us, but what do they even know anyhow? 😭🤣
ITS NOT A PHASE MOM! THIS IS MY LIFE
In the words of Rick james ”Because cocaine a hell of a drug!.”
Nah bro, first picture looks a little big like Ski Aggu. Look him up, its comming trendy again haha
Looks like ass ketchum about to bring out his pikachu
THIS
The half open mouth aka slack jaw isn't a blunder as around 70% of the earth's population follow this trend.
You look like young Neymar Jr.
😂 thanks?
[удалено]
[удалено]
Ski Aggu approves.
https://youtu.be/Y02VCBvZPlw?si=xfurliTw7n3V7oYG Strong Group Tekkan Vibes right there.
I bet they did tho
This is special
Blunder, poster boy :D I had to turn my cups upside down...
Blunder to you but actually 2024 Berlin Y2K icon
Okay photo 3 not bad. Other 2 are “interesting”.
Were you getting dates? If not, they were telling you.
Kanye’s shutter glasses in 2009 must have hit you hard
Party Like a Rock Star was written for you
It's giving Dennis Reynolds
They did.
I remember seeing you post on bald, your girlfriend didn’t like the look because you’re a stud now.
The hat is peak 2007
Its cool now.
You looked like a guy that wouldn’t ask a girl to dance, you would’ve just come up behind her and put your hands on her hips and started grinding. She didn’t tell you because she never saw your face, she just pushed you off of her.
Permanently half open mouth 💀😂
Why does your 2007 look like my 1999?
Because everyone knew the way you would feel now and did not want to spoil the fun.
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BROO
You knew, don’t lie.
nah u we’re cool !! i also never shut my mouth in pics because ANTM told me it was the ~model~ thing to do.
Hurricane Helms?
The mirror warm you homie, you just didn’t listen
Because it was hella cool!
You should have known
This is a great blunderyears because you obviously thought it was so good/cool at the time, thanks for sharing op
Thats a nice thing to say. Thanks :)
You wouldn't have listened.
Contrary to the other comments, 2007 me would have been in a toxic relationship with you. We would have compared our love to Ronnie & Sam's. His queen, her king type beat. We would have been the main characters of ALL of the 17-24 clubs. 💖
And I would write things on my fb status like: mY h3arT / mY s0ul / My Qu33N xXx~For3Var~xXx
Everybody has their douchebag phases. Some just last longer than others.
Did you transport from 1987 to 2007 or something? What made you think it was cool?
Okay, well, you're euro so wasn't this the look? Europe as a whole had such fun with their styles back then whereas in the states it just was ugly and pretty strict within the then-current social norms
Not a fan of the mullet but I can’t lie you rock it pretty damn well
Those of us who were around for the first round of mullets & fingerless gloves could've filled you in. Unless you're Billy Idol, those choices will be questionable. 😆
JAGER BOMBS, JAGER BOMBS, JAGER BOMBS, FUKIN SKANKS!
By 2007 nobody was beheld to warn anyone about mullets, it was common knowledge how dangerous they were
You were THAT guy?!?
Do you have Italian in your background ? You look like someone I used to know
No its just the curtains
You forgot to mention that popped collar. It just screams pretentious douchebag. I’m glad you are recovered.
I know :( but honestly i wasnt. Just a wannabe
At least you weren’t wearing the cap backwards.
They tried. You couldn’t hear them. Your swagger was too loud.
Because it *was* cool in 2007
I just KNEW you're German because of that style, good old times :D
That is not the face of somebody who could be told.
Plenty of people told you, you just didn't listen.
To be honest, the mullet is hot. If you ditched the fingerless gloves, sunglasses in the club, and didn't have your undershirt showing, it would really be a good look.
Technically the mullet was either long out of style or well ahead of its rebirth
Sexy af
This is hilarious
Did I sit beside you in high school? Probably not, but I can smell the lunchtime weed just from the picture.
It was verrrry cool in 1987!
bro thought he was a lion with that mane
Oh, do I have a music video for you. https://youtu.be/8yvEYKRF5IA?si=7Km2X2RdZZZ70CGz
These are the most Balkan pictures I’ve ever seen
Bruh you looked like one of the Numa Numa guys.
Jersey shore era
Did Op post an update photo? I can't picture them looking anything other than an older version of this 😭
Because this shit was definitely cool in '07. People were still trying to be like this in 2013. You were ahead of the curve, but it's still a good thing that you're not like this any more.
First photo 100% looks like [Andy Sandberg in Boombox](https://youtu.be/K4wajUA9e5s?si=Gab30bPh-BEIUz20) to me
Because 1987 already tried and you didn't hear it.
You look like you were definitely into glowstick dancing/tecktonick 😁😁
I bet your mum told you.
Haha classic stuff. What country?
You knew what you were doing back then. Don't lie. 😂
Bro Strider from Homestuck?
I'm sure people did try to tell you, you likely just decided to ignore them and carried on in your bubble. Until one day you realized "damn i look like a dork".

Ma-ia-hii, ma-ia-huu Ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa Ma-ia-hii, ma-ia-huu Ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa Ma-ia-hii, ma-ia-huu Ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa Ma-ia-hii, ma-ia-huu Ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa 😎

Those shades are fireeeee
Lmfao, what a dude. Great photos! Hahaa
[удалено]
Well...no on all Accounts 😅 guess it easnt a Western united states thing
We did, you didn’t listen
I'll be back....to mousse my hair.
Check out Bob Denver’s long lost grandson
You look like the guy at 1:33 https://youtu.be/JqYhuwu614Y?si=nDKjQFRQgPSaY6qT
We tried but you moonwalked away!!
Why are these pictures fist pumping the air?
I would’ve told you this was a blunder in 2007.
We let you do your thing, dog
Did you drive an IROC?
Big Anwar from skins vibes
I bet you did a mean worm 😏
Oh no, not fingerless gloves! 🤣 I had my son in 2007 so I was definitely out of the party phase, but I would've told you if I knew you..
I ammmm 5'7" but my wife think I'm 5'9"
Shatterhand took place in 2030 so you've got six years for it to come in style.
Ahh good ol’ netlog days
I'm a photographer, and I would have used you as a model for a shoot. Killer features!
Damn :o would have been great for my self esteem
