I must admit to having ears like radar, and I'm of an age where I think that my kids would laugh at me if I turned my cap back to front, so I seldom wear baseball caps and never wear them the "wrong way". I'm not sure that turning them around improves my spey casting technique in any event.
But where/when did this fashion/trend start? Back in the early 90's I assumed that it may have been introduced by people who had been in the services (brim hitting rifle sight), but an American banker that I met in the UK assured me that in the US that this wasn't the origin. I know of one guy who famously used to wear his headgear back to front (and for Brits this has nothing to do with the Gloucester regiment that was honoured with two cap badges!).
Any response?
