A lot of people are wearing snapbacks these days. Are you one of them or do you despise them. Or do you simply not wear hats at all?

When kids wear them to have something called "swag" I despise them dreadfully.

Yeah. People have been wearing these since forever. I used to have a whole bunch of them in the early 80's.

Really popular my last year in high school. I'm not a hat guy, and even if I was I wore snapbacks during t-ball (so they remind me of little kids), so I really doubt I'd ever wear one.

OT hates anything people wear for styleBucked20

I probably have close to 100 hats that date back 20 years or so and I still buy hats. Not once did I ever ask someone for a snapback hat. I don't see a need to lable something just to put a lable on it, it is ridiculous. Most are adjustable or a one size fits all with a few fitted to go with them. It isn't about style, it is about functionality for most people and a hat is to provide protection from the elements, even if they have something embroidered on them.

Get real.

For a lot of young people hats are just another accessory to go along with their outfit,some buy them to cover up their balding head,some buy them for bad hair days.Just because you buy hats for funtionality doesn't mean everyone else does.

I wasn't aware of what those are, but I just googled it and now I'm angry. We had those in the 90's and they were replaced with fitted hats for a reason. Why the hell are they coming back?

I guess there are only so many fashion styles that high school kids can tire out so they have to start recycling.

One size fits all hats have not gone anywhere, nor have fitted hats. I seem to recall both being around during the 70s.

They're too conservative. They should be banned. It's better for the economy if all are fitted.

I never knew there was a name for those kind of hats. I just looked at hats with that and velcro adjustable backs as, well...hats.

Kids & adults try so hard to replicate and bring back this style but the majority fail everytime. You see here, these guys simply wear the hats like they're supposed to be worn, worn forward and the brims not flat as a carboard, slightly curved, is it really that hard lol?

Nothing is wrong with wearing hats for style,are u f*ckin 45 years old,u probably think wearing thong sandals is cool.

dude, sandals are comfy man.  Dress for comfort, that should be priority #1

and nothing is wrong with style

but everything is wrong with vanity or, worse, wearing a freaking "uniform".  So if youre spending 150 bucks on shoes, 200 bucks on jeans that dont even fit and have premade holes in them, 300 bucks on some basketball jersey, and then 100 bucks on an oversized hat, I am going to take personal pleasure in watching you trip and fall into a puddle.

Depends how it looks from the front. Most of the hats no matter the style tend to make me look like a trucker. Found a one size fits all that managed to look great and fit amazing.

I cringe seeing dudes wearing thong sandals showing off their feet,just wear regular sandals with some damn socks.No one is spending $150 on shoes all the time,pants are usually only $40,no one wears jerseys anymore and a hat is $30 at the most.You do realize a lot of the stylish stuff people wear is also comfortable,so its a win win for them.

I do realize that, and that's fine; you get what you pay for, and a lot of clothing manufacturers tend to make comfortable clothes look good as well.  I just think if your whole outfit cost you an entire paycheck and youre not going to the Oscar's or getting married or something, it is a waste.
