Why is it so popular amongst carpers now and who started it all off. I'm not having a pop I'm just curious as to where it all started.

It's not just carpers mate. Hipsters I believe they're known as.

I was wearing an olive drab beanie hat in 1973. Does that make me a hipster or trendsetter? I don't think so. The wheel of life goes around and around. Not much new just not remembered. That's half the problem with society in general today.

Yeah but doubt you were sporting a beard and tribal tattoos.

Not then, but I have sported a beard in the past, and I do have a small tattoo...like I said. Nothing new just not remembered.

Still wearing my beanie hat today and it was 20 odd degrees, hipness comes at a cost.
Pretty sure beards have just been around since evolution left the hair there when we (mostly all) transitioned from primitive apes to the koi sleeve tattooed vass disciples of today

I think some of those in the beard and beanie hat brigade are adjusting for going bald.

The hat hides the hair loss and the beard compensates for what's missing under the hat. Next time you walk past one whip the hat off and check.

Every single person I've ever met who wears a hat religiously is insecure about going bald. You can spot them a mile off because when they finally take off their hat, they usually immediately run their hands through their hair as if fashioning a comb over.

Are you sure?
