Wearing the ball cap backward ranks right up there with the guys who wear their pants just below their buttocks.

Gus, guys.. (any girls commented?), get hip. I wonder how many who have commented are over the age being woke.
My father said I was doomed when I started growing my side burns long. Then when I started wearing narrow jeans I was headed for the maryjuana crowd and not to call him when I got picked up by the cops.

Maybe wearing jeans with their revolting fat buttocks hanging out, caps at a silly angle are just another generation trying to be, well, hip?

Just maybe wearing the hat backwards would shade the lower backsides of some people who wear their pants so their buns show. Just a thought.

Of all the things in this world to be prejudiced about, being narrow-minded about how other folks wear their ball caps is among the most innocuous.

Fortunately, the guy making the video is sitting down.

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 they are from Texas. Texans have apparently been told that they are privileged and that it is OK to wear a hat - even a great big silly cowboy hat, indoors. ("All hat, no cattle" as they say...)

I must admit that wearing your baseball cap backwards is…..LAME!

Not only don’t you look cool but also stupid. I think these people are overcompensating. Basically these people are far from cool and just appear foolish to the rest of us who are. It is would be very difficult to wear when using a camera. I don’t wear a cap because it gets in my way.

As I mentioned, I always wear a hat outside, and that has saved my head from some damage when I've banged it on things. Even a thin cap provides some cushioning.

Usually, it does. If a sharp object tries to pierce the fabric, it's usually prevented by the presence of my skull. I've saved a fortune on hats that way.

During the bright sunny days when going out I always wear a ball cap. The main reason, when going out in the car, I drive a BMW Roadster, with the top down. The cap keeps the top of my head from being sun burnt. I always wear my wrap around sun glasses under the brim of the hat. During the drive, if the sun strikes me from the front, I wear the hat with brim front. Should I make a turn, and the sun strikes me on the back of the neck, and begins to burn I reverse the hat and tilt it to protect the back of my neck. If I'm wearing collar shirt, I'll flip the collar up. So, if you're driving down a New Hampshire, mountain road, and are approaching a white BMW Z4 driven by a guy with his cap on backwards, collar flipped up, with the top down, and think this not cool. You don't know what "cool" is. Of course you may not see me at all, since you'll be looking directly into the sun. If you would notice the front of the hat, it will have the official BMW Roundell.
