Alshere59 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 I wonder if it is the current generation of kids growing up? Quote
Mark D Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 all you have to do is watch 5 minutes of any of the jackass movies to answer that question. Quote

PatS.... Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) I don't keep up with clothing style trends (I leave that to my wife) but I was under the impression that wearing a feed/baseball cap backwards was out of fashion and only the dolts left behind still did it. I'm told by my 6 yr old nephew that the "older" guys (8-10) deem it high fashion:( The guy pictured missed the mark by a decade or two!!! Edited October 27, 2011 by PatS.... Quote
T120 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 when I see a hat worn in that fashion something inside my mind kinka grinds and I feel like I should reach out and quick snap the head to match the bill of the cap..might be one of the reason punk kids and I don't get along so well..now ask me if I am really concerned about that last statement.. ..Well now,Tim -That might fall well in line with Darwin's theory.. This might help explain it...Desotodav ..Funny Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 I believe the hat-on-backwards IS out of fashion. It's especially painful to see a grown man with one. What I see a lot of now is the hat with a flat brim that still has the sticker from the store attached. The brim is usually worn a little off to the side. The mouth of the wearer is usually slightly open in a somewhat stunned, dazed expression. Tattoos are usually present on this particular specimen. Quote
Rusty O'Toole Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 In fairness 2 out of 3 guys in the picture were wearing their hats the right way around. As for the 3d guy there's one in every crowd. Quote
Mark Haymond Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Forty years ago the only guys who wore the hats backward were the ones who rode motorcycles. It kept the hat from blowing away. I can handle that. Everyone else looks like an idiot. Quote
chopt50wgn Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 My nephew came ove to my house one afternoon looing like that except with the baggy pants and hat on sideways. I looked him straight in the eye and asked ......"do you have mirrors in your house and do you know just how stupid you look"...and he's 26 yrs old.......and you wonder why you can't find a job.

Robert Horne Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Recently around this part of Virginia, the trend is to wear your hat in a correct manner with your sunglasses on the bill of the cap. Quote
TodFitch Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 As long as we are totally off the topic of cars.... It seems that "hat" and "cap" are being used interchangeably in this thread. From the Merriam-Webster web site we have: Cap: a : a head covering especially with a visor and no brim Hat: : a covering for the head usually having a shaped crown and brim Wearing a hat backwards makes absolutely no sense. Even on a motorcycle. Wearing a cap backwards could be useful for a motorcyclists. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 I'm waiting..who will post that image... Quote

I hope the guy in the original photo never wears a helmet while riding a motor cycle. I can picture him wearing a welders mask backwards too or maybe a catchers mask. Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Ah..the wait is over...Merle to the rescue...what surprises me even more is the auburn hair..not blonde..! In all reality, "do you think she even has a clue" Quote
Don Coatney Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Recently around this part of Virginia, the trend is to wear your hat in a correct manner with your sunglasses on the bill of the cap. Here in Tennessee I spotted a guy wearing his cap bill forward but his sun glasses were on the back of his head. Guess he had a real glare problem with the hair on the back of his head. Quote
