i looked up images of a mullet hairstyle and it appears the modern version is much closer to what is in this new hair product. Most do not have the sideburn portion, but the length is the same. Hopefully this link  works

lmao, no i will not accept it, I see what their are trying to do though. they're ignoring what actually defined the mullet into something else to fit it into this new zoomer broccoli head aesthetic. They really won't leave anything alone in the past. Not that the mullet is something to be proud of, but it was a thing and it should be respected for its Gen X weirdness. I will admit I had a mullet at one point and I burned all those pics, they don't exist anymore. But I can't just let it be redefined as brocolli head.

Is that AI-generated? Some of those styles are clipper cut in the back!

That's a nice hair, but I wouldn't really call that a mullet...

It's a micro-mullet at the very best...business in the front and party in the back... but DAZ product names can often have little reflection on reality or conventional naming.  There are propeller lanes are called "jets", single floor apartments that are called "lofts", etc. 

I thought this was business at the front, business casual at the back.

I don't remember ever hearing that variation, but I looked it up and found that it usually refers to dressing up for a video call with professional appearance to the front while off-camera is whatever, which a mullet pulled back in a ponytail would fit.  The phrase BITF, PITB, on the other hand, is a common meme that first became closely associated with the mullet around 2001 after being used in the otherwise forgotten movie Joe Dirt.  (Personally, I remember first hearing the phrase in an episode of Kim Possible, which started in 2002.)  The association with the hairstyle is generally attributed to the Beastie Boys, who used the term in their song Mullet Head (1984), where it was described as "Number One In Front, Don't Touch The Back."   That said, the term mullet head goes back to at least the 1850s... something that's actually provable since it's used in Huckleberry Finn... with a "Mullet Head" originally referring to someone who was dull or stupid.

I wasn't (conciously) aware that my phrase existed, it justs eemed a way to contrast this style with an echt- (or ur-) mullet.
