Like a lot of “styles”, the backwards cap doesn’t make sense. My Dad used to say they were the guys who didn’t know if they were coming or going.

I always wear a hat - to keep the sun off my head. I was never a "cool" dresser, either. Too much trouble for too little result - and "cool" keeps changing.

I never wear a hat and if I do I would never wear it backward but I don't think those guys that wear them backward are all stupid.

No, some belong to special groups.

Only time I wear a cap backwards is when I’m sitting with the sun on the back of my neck.
I’m pretty sure I don’t look “cool.”

I spent a lot of time outdoors and have no natural head covering left (emulating my maternal grandfather). So a hat was important. The visor helps to keep the sun out of my eyes and the rain off my glasses. As I noted above, I put the visor behind me when shooting because it interferes with the camera. And I put the visor on the side when the sun is on the side.
I have absolutely no concern what it makes me look like. I have never been into appearance, rather I'm strongly into utility.

One real question may be why does a guy have to wear a baseball cap at all when shooting a video indoors? Another might be what kind of useful tech information can you glean from someone who does wear one backwards...indoors?
Maybe he doesn't want to show off a bald head

I was a catcher before the era of catching helmets. You turned your cap around or you couldn’t put on your mask! No fashion statement at all!
