In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Casquette à l'envers” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 2438 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Casquette à l'envers” meme mean?

The meme laughs at the obsolescence of a trend: what used to look very cool now feels embarrassing. It works as shorthand for a dated style, a teenager pretending to be on trend, or a youthful memory one is slightly ashamed of. The card sums it up: an object, a movement, now totally cringe. It is used for self-mockery as much as for teasing others. The meme targets less the object than the era it brings back.

Where does the “Casquette à l'envers” meme come from?

Wearing a cap with the peak at the back of the head was long a style statement, tied to street culture and a certain attitude. The habit is older and more practical than it looks: racing cyclists kept the peak at the back to shield their necks from the sun. The meme takes aim at that movement and files it under past fashions. It has become a symbol of awkward nostalgia, like many teenage trends.

How to use the “Casquette à l'envers” meme
