A baseball cap has a brim as a functional feature. And it is not to shade the back of your neck. While I agree that since so many people wear them backwards it is no longer strange, it does not make it any less stupid. Emulating the Hip Hop culture's habits is nothing to be proud of or to aspire to.

Just because something is not "functional" it does not mean that you have to avoided. Look at front wheel drive Hondas with big wings? For what, it probably doesn't even help that much with down-force. Its all relative.

Really think you should take a step back and re-think your outlook on life if wearing a hat backwards frustrates you this much.

Fashion is not functional. Maybe people just like the look.

plus it is to shade my neck.....who would want to be a "redneck"

I'll bet you use the word "dude" dozens of times a day too. Have you ever seen the old film of the hippies from the 60's and how ridiculous they look in Nehru Jackets and Love Beads ? Wearing a hat backwards may be in style for some now but it doesn't mean that it isn't a fashion to be mocked not only now but in the future. Get ahead of the curve. You'll thank me for my elderly advice and wisdom.

dude, bball caps have been worn backwards for as long as they have been around.

Its not like 80s clothes or anything out of the 70s. Trust me, its all on you as far as backward hats are concerned.

You know what the difference between me and you is?

I make this look good

And by elderly advice do you mean experience of wearing said love beads and Nehru jackets? I mean it's ok to admit it?

But seriously if you wanna talk about terrible fads then stick to bashing stanced out riced out cars. Not my backwards hats.
