idk

Nobody decides? People just kinda do it. And depending on where people's heads are at, and maybe the confidence with which its pulled off, people think "huh, that actually looks/seems pretty good" and they do it, and then it propagates from there

"Where people's heads are at" is influenced by media/current events - I guess there's been maybe a little more 80s-set stuff than usual recently, like Stranger Things, so more mullets, for example?

Of course there's another side of it, where people try to be "ahead" of the trend by reading the patterns and predicting stuff, and then declaring something "in" so they can appear to be like a tastemaker, or knowledgeable about the subject. And that ultimately becomes self-serving. Declare something "in" enough times and it might end up actually being "in".
