When did men wearing ball caps backwards indoors become fashionable?

1. Eazy-E did it in the early 90s, that’s as far back as I remember it

2. Back in the early 90’s if I remember correctly

3. LATE 80’S – Ken Griffey Jr. made is fashionable (was supposed to be the Michael Jordan of baseball)

4. April 11 1973

5. Like 30 years ago. Are you doing graduate research

6. It became safe on June 19, 2013.

7. Sometime in the 80s.

8. Late 80s.

9. I feel like the snapbacks have really made a comeback recently and those are the only one’s I wear backwards. For some reason I think fitted caps look goofy on me backwards. Like I’m trying to be Fred Durst or something.

10. Well it’s been fashionable my whole life and I was born in 85, so it had to be around then at latest.

11. It didn’t. People do it. Both men and women. But there is no fashionability involved.

    Mama taught me, no hat indoors. That would be bad manners.

    Common sense taught me, no stupid looking backward cap anywhere.

12. I’ll let you know if it ever happens.

13. Ah, the mighty backward ball cap. It’s hard to pinpoint an exact moment when it became fashionable, but I’d say it gained popularity in the 90s with the rise of hip-hop and skateboard culture. People starting wearing it indoors simply because they liked the style and it became part of their personal expression. Fashion is a funny thing, isn’t it?

14. Why is indoors relevant?
