A lot of the black guys I work with wear the flat bills. Most I'm friends with, so I don't automatically associate it with "douche" or "gangsta", but I usually do think "douche" when I see young white guys out sporting them out in the world.

I think they look stupid, but I'm not one to tell another human what they should have on their noggin.

I've worn ball caps since I was a kid, but they served a purpose at stages. First was to block the sun off my eyes playing ball and hunting. Another was: "Crap, I'm late for work...no time for primping...jump in clothes and cover nappy head and go."  Third is the same as the first, but at a sun/rain/debris shield for the glasses I've worn for ten years now.  The flat bill would not cut it in that role.

Anyone who wears one or says "stupid mad skillz" should be kicked in the head by a horse.

Hell freaking no....

We used to wrap the bill in a baseball, tied it tight around said baseball and throw it in the dishwasher. It had to hold shape. The tighter the better.

Only if you leave the tags on and tuck your ears under it.

didnt this all start with the skater community...way back, migrated to the rap/gangster/lowrider wannabe crowd, now its moved into automotive racers/tuners..etc.
BTW - I believe they are nicknamed "lids"

Flat brims are cool, for gang-banging West Coast shitbirds.

Around here it's usually:

Flat-bill ball cap (ears tucked in)
White Oakley Gascans or camouflage Costas
Skinny Wranglers tucked into square toe western work boots
A huge lipper of Copenhagen wintergreen
A heavy-duty pickup with 20" chrome wheels, low-profile tires, a lift kit with the rear end sagging, and some sort of lights under it (bonus points if it's a diesel King Ranch)

I like my ball caps with curved bills, thank you very much.

Back in the Navy, I use to have coworkers who'd grab my ballcap to bend the bill.  They stopped trying when I told them, "If you bend it you're getting me a new cap. "

Do what you want with yours.  If mine's already got a curve fine, but I'm not going to go out of my way to bend it all up into a circle like some soft trucker hat.

Make sure you tuck your ears in, and wear the brim off Center just a bit. Then you'll be a bad ass.

Don't forget the white Oakley's.

Well said. Concise and paints a nice visual. This should have been a poll choice.

This song was written for a flat bill wearing douchebag.

I do think they make the wearer look like a douchebag, but hey, whatever blows your hair back.
