you're in ithaca, what do you expect? everything is a ffew years behind. it's like how in napoleon dynamite, it was set in "present day" - 2004? but the town was about 10 years behind.

A couple of years ago, when putting on a polo-type shirt, I wouldn't always check to make sure that the collar was in an un-popped state. Sometimes, hours later, I'd notice in the mirror that my collar had been popped the whole time. Funny thing was that I liked the way that it looked. I would keep it popped until somebody pointed it out to me (usually in disgust).
I'm kind of sad that I missed out on the whole popped collar fad. I really do hope that it comes back.
I'm dead serious by the way.
Well, Mr. Jordan, you can move in across the street from me and pop your collar all you want. Enjoy!
Bal. Ti. More.
Both men and women wear their collars popped with their plaid shorts. I wouldn't mind if Ray Lewis just killed 'em all.
Sadly, at places like Cornell, being a douchebag is itself still very much in fashion (see: that idiot from the Ivy 1500; see also: the self-righteousness of the BloJos). Therefore advertising one's douche-iness is actually a good thing, because it demonstrates that you're 'cool' and allows you to congregate with other douchebags. Fortunately, at as good a school as Cornell and its analogs, in addition to these rich a-holes most kids will be smart enough to cast a sidelong smug glance and go back to their calc homework. You should help fight the trend by grading all collar-poppers on a much harder scale.
Actually, in certain sets, the popped collar was never a fad. It started as a way to keep the sun off of your neck while golfing or playing tennis (no spf-50 back in the day). My grandfather popped his collar for his entire life. Among the more old-school preppy set, popping your collar is acceptable outdoors, but not indoors. The people who started doing it in about '02 didn't know this, and they would wear popped collar at night, in bars. The people you are talking about are probably the remnant of this crowd.
At Max's Taphouse in Baltimore there is a sign posted that says popped collars are not allowed.

Oh, it's much wider than just Cornell. I'm afraid 'douchebaginess' is in all over America. College McBros, pretty much everyone at Fox News, Bill Maher, people on "The Real World"... the list goes on and on and exists at all levels of society.

A single popped collar looks stupid, but four of them is hawt.
Ha, well if I see anything like that around here, I don't think I'll be able to hold my tongue.
