How it's used
Refers specifically to the classic cap style with a stiff, protruding brim. While it covers various styles of peaked caps, it is most commonly used to describe the casual baseball cap worn by people of all ages in Hong Kong. It is a very neutral term and does not carry any specific fashion subculture connotations.
