I thought he looked pretty badass with it IMO. How about you?

Drawn by Tom Grummett before it became the ponytail, hell yes.

I liked it quite a bit. Some artists went way too mullet with it than intended, but it basically consisted of the first 4 years or so of my reading Superman comics till he finally cut it in the Wedding Album. Death Metal was cool but at the same time way too straight. Superman's got wavy hair at the very least. TBH the best middle-man I've seen that I think could actually serve as a permanent look was the longer hair he sported in Futures End. It wasn't super long but noticeably longer than usual.

Not really no. But you had even some of the classic greats like Swan give it a shot, Garcia Lopez and Kane both nailed it. Jon Bogdanove also just had a great way of drawing it.

From Death Metal? Sure, but only within that story. I think Superman's hair should be longer than we normally see it, but only at this length

That's my pandemic hair.
Long hair, yep! (not necessarily better but still cool if done right)
Clark pony tail... hard pass.
I agree with Sacred and Alpha; the Future's End look, where the hair is longer but not "80's Metallica" long, plus the beard, is the best look. Hell, if we could get that look in the main canon, including the t-shirt, cape, and jeans, I'd be thrilled. That right there is the perfect folktale hero, Bruce Springsteen Superman that today's America needs, I tells ya!
I liked the 90's hair, especially when it wasn't drawn like a mullet, and Metal is fine within the context of that story, but not designs I'd like to see in main canon. But bearded Superman is something I will never say no to!

eh, I'll be the boring one here, I prefer him with the regular clean cut look more often than not.
Yes but like he was in Metal. Mullets are outdated now a days.
I always thought it looked kinda dumb honestly.
