I'm sure you approve of baseball caps though, right?
Technically no. I hate it when people wear baseball hats 24/7. It's dumb, but then again, it's not out of the norm culturally. That doesn't make it any better but it does make the following true: With a baseball cap on, maybe 1 out of every 100 people you pass thinks you look like an asshole for wearing it. With whatever the fuck you call that hat, 100/100 think you look like an asshole. Now you might not care, and I don't think you should, but there are certain situations where you will care.
Besides it's not unfair for someone to see someone else wearing a weird hat and judge them, if I saw some guy wearing a cowboy hat or a tophat I'd think they looked stupid. Nothing about them as a person, but I would off the bat think they look retarded, then after talking to them, usually you figure out within a few minutes what it is about them that makes them think wearing that hat is ok.
Why is that, though? Because everyone else wears them? Because they're socially 'accepted'? Because the sports stars on the magazines at the supermarket get photographed in them, and the cultural tastemakers say that's an acceptable archetype?
Wow, move away from the West coast buddy, you got a touch of the anti-establishment fag syndrome. No where in ANYTHING I said referenced what you're talking about, I get your point but you're pulling it out of your ass to make a non-relative argument.
For the record, I bought that hat because it was raining, I needed a hat, and it was the closet hat to my arms reach at the Shoe Pavillion I was in at the time. The fact that it wasn't a baseball cap just made it slightly more appealing.
You don't need to justify the hat dude.
Sometimes a gay hat is just a gay hat.
And that was my point. I didn't say YOU were like that, I just said people who weird odd things, specially those kinds of hats, at first glance you think, OK WEIRD HAT I'LL BITE, then you talk to them and they are annoying fucking retards and it all makes sense why they thought it'd be cool to leave the house wearing that. I wouldn't judge you by the hat alone, but 9/10 times after talking to someone wearing a hat like that you begin to see a pattern.
A person's wardrobe is chosen by them as a reflection of their personality.
And Joe, I think you need to quit being so goddamned judgmental.
I'd be more than happy to but, uh, some of you guys judge me all the time unfairly so about less significant things, so if you're gonna wear a stupid fucking hat I have the right to express my opinion towards it.
Wow, tl;dr!
