I thought these collars went out years ago.

Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, and end up getting charged double.

Maybe it’s become so mainstream that now people feel they must complain about it?
I always considered this to be strictly a preppie custom that, for whatever reason, spread to other demographics of our multi-culti society.
For years and years, prepsters of all ages have worn their collars popped (though they certainly didn’t use that term.)
First it was east-coast prep, then ghetto, then wannabe ghetto, what is it now, frat-boy?

The only popped collar I can stand was on Eric Cantona in an Italian Nike commercial where he pops his collar, gives the ball a kick and drives it through Satan’s belly.  Good shit.

heh
That is pretty cool.

And maybe that’s when popped collars reached critical mass, then became passé (unless you are a 65 year old WASP on Cape Cod who has always popped his collars, will do it till he dies, and is likely to be unaware of Eric Cantona, let alone Three 6 Mafia.)
It’s kinda funny how such a simple fashion statement can hold such different meanings to such diverse groups of people.

I remember the “style” in the ’80s. Guess it’s come back.

Popped collars is phallic secret symbolism for American
high school males and all the wood they crack at each other in the
school gym room and showers.

Collar up in bars and clubs says you’d stick any old piece of hairy ass!
