Is it still around? Did it go out of style? Could you get a bad burn from it?

Yes.....listen to Mojo who owns no sofa in his living room and entertains on a bear skin rug in front of his fireplace. *cough*
But to answer your question. Shag is still around.....its just no longer called shag.....and the yarn ties are not so wide. In addition, the gorgeous colors of harvest gold, olive green, and rusty brown have been replaced by splashes of tweed. (much more subtle) As far as rug burns? I will defer that portion of the answer to mr. experience up there. What say you Mojo??

Shagadellic! It's probably still around. I've certainly seen large area rugs. There's a hip furniture store I sometimes shop at that has this slightly retro-seventies vibe to it. They sell all this low, sleek furniture, modular book shelves, lamps made with coloured glass, shag rugs, funky pillows. It's all very tasteful and cool but definitely with a 70s influence.
In answer to your second question, you'd probably only get a bad burn if you were shagging on the shag.

thank the good Lord that shag carpet went out with bellbottom pants and perms for guys.
yes it went out of style. and none too soon in my opinion.
i had a bright orange shag carpet in my first apartment. at the time it was cool. now when i see pictures of it i get sick.
i don't know about getting bad burns from it. yes, i know what you're talking about. i tried never to get THAT close to it. the stuff was nasty--you could never get the stuff clean.
hey, i'm a clean freak. i vacuumed the carpet daily. my wife says i'm not a clean freak----just obsessive compulsive---anal retentive-----anal----you name it. anyway, the carpet was always dirty despite my daily vacuuming. i rented a rug doctor and attacked the nasty orange shag with it--the water that came out was black---i guess that was the first time it had ever been shampooed.
believe me----you DON'T want shag carpeting to make a comeback!
nasty nasty nasty

Shag Carpet? Yeah, I know shag. He's selling insurance in Topeka, Kansas and is a single father just trying to make it. Funny thing about him. I was real worried about him for awhile. He was on drugs and his ole lady had ran off with a Canadian truck driver with big ears and a beard. But he's ok now.

it is still around...
but used mainly for rugs now...
and the burns aren't as bad as normal carpet.. the carpet tends to move with you more with shag where normal carpet doesn't...
causes less friction...
less friction = less burns.

Contact the Brady Bunch. They still have tons of it. Do you like earth tones, avocado green and burnt orange? You could get flea bites from it. Lots of little critters could live in it and you wouldn't know. It is like a forest for microrganisms made of fabric.

People prefer to shag in their beds so it went by the wayside.

It got put in a great big dumpster with white polyester suits and black velvet oil paintings.
