The snapback was a huge fashion trend that began in the 1990’s. Urban areas such as New York and Los Angeles were the main birthplaces of the snapback. The style was adopted by music groups such as N.W.A on the west coast and Mobb Deep on the east coast. Now that some of the most popular music groups of the time started to support the style it took off. In the early stages the hats were used to represent the two coasts of America. West coast people such as N.W.A, wore hats that represented the Los Angeles suburb of Compton. On the other side of the country, groups such as Mobb Deep wore hats that had New York boroughs stitched on such as Brooklyn and Queens. Everyone now was wearing and collecting snapback hats, matching them with their clothes, and looking fresh.
