Everywhere today, you see boys and men wearing their ball caps with the bill to the rear (even old farts!). Despite the fact that this looks absolutely stupid on just about anyone (most don't even look good wearing a ball cap in the regular manner), it is somehow thought to be cool or hip. Aside from the fact that it demonstrates an unimaginative 'herd' mentality and shows a profound lack of uniqueness of character on the part of the wearer, what is it about this fad that provokes such unthinking slavishness by so many boys/men who are of average or better IQ?

Congratulations ! You have asked a provocative question that is a mystery to all except for the wearer of these simple minded fashion statements. You analyzed the possibilities for this misguided attempt at " fitting in ' and I believe you have answered your own question as perfectly as anyone could hope to accomplish with the exception of the manufactured putting a new label on all ball caps. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. BILL FACES FORWARD TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL BENEFIT OF KEEPING THE SUN FROM ONES EYES. USE CAUTION , THIS CAN BE A DANGEROUSLY CONFUSING APPAREL ITEM. PLEASE REFER TO THE ENCLOSED ILLUSTRATION TO AVOID INJURY. Naturally , the cost of ball caps will increase.

I've got some interesting news for these guys as to wearing their hats backwards....what activity can you think of, between two men, that a bill of a ballcap would get in the way????? Hmmmmm yep, that is where it came from. Had to turn the hat around to get the job done. Well, there's the truth of the matter. Funny, it always takes about 5 years for gay fashion to trickle down to the straight world...all too often, by the time it gets there, the reasons are unknown as to why the "fashion" developed. Now, when you see all the "bois" with their hats on backwards, you can laugh to yourself, thinking, well, they are ready for the encounter, aren't they LOL, but it is the truth.

I have absolutely no idea why some people wear those caps backwards. I guess they just don't realize the visor was put there to protect their eyes from the sun. That is, if sunglasses weren't enough for them.

lol, personally I think it provides some shade for the nape of their neck which is easily sunburned......It more difficult to wear sunglasses with a ballcap on the correct way, We know how much of a fashion statement some people think their shades are.........and........I really like being able to see the persons eyes. I can't stand the bill of a ballcap, except during games!

i think that it's just a fashion thing
same reason why people like to wear holes in their jeans, or faded jeans, or bellbottoms, or big expensive purses that aren't even always pretty
it's personal opinion
