The CEO of Unity Technologies (the game engine) really likes popped collars...

David Helgason. Is he going to set the trend? I know I'm going to start popping my collars.

Entertainingly I saw a picture while GISing that of a guy wearing 5 Google Glasses.

Fun fact, this guy now runs Y Combinator. Really.

He's probably trying to set his appearance signature as did Steve Jobs with turtle necks.

Maybe he's just a douchebag.
-
You know what they say about most CEO's: a bunch of sociopaths.
-
Well, yes, but not all douchebags are sociopaths (I assume) and vice versa (I also assume.)

I'm sure I'll be declared some variation of WTF for this, but I almost always have my collar 'popped' when I'm wearing a polo or rugby shirt. Never when I'm wearing an actual shirt though, although that's rare anyway.

Yes: TRWTF. Douche.

My brother likes to wear ties with t-shirts. Is that better or worse than popped collars?

It's kind of hipster, but not douchebag frat boy, so probably an improvement. Assuming he's otherwise wearing the shirt and the tie correctly.

I spent one year in a private high school. They had somewhat of a dress code, including a collared shirt in classes.
One day I wore a t-shirt with the collar cut off from a dress shirt. Sadly, my rules-lawyering was not approved.
Fortunately I had anticipated that and wore a dress shirt under the t-shirt, with the inner shirt's collar tucked under so it wasn't visible.
Defense in depth. Always plan ahead.

one of my best friends in high school did something similar.
he went to christian school that had a dresscode. but it didn't have a separate dress code for men and women. it just listed the two approved uniforms. he didn't like either so he decided to have some fun.
showed up wearing the uniform that included a skirt. gave several teachers quite a shock and got sent to the office.
He pointed out that nowhere in the dresscode did it specify menswear or womanswear. there were two approved uniforms and he was wearing one of them.
he kept the fight going for the better part of three years (About half of freshman + soph/junior). In sophmore year they put out a revised dress code that specified male/female wear and he sued the school (representing himself) for discrimination against trans-gendered pupils and won. (i think he sued for court costs+ten dollars or something tiny like that)
they more or less left him alone on junior and he went to public for senior (i think at the request of the school to his parents, but i never did find out for sure)
i should look up what happened to the guy. last i saw him he was on his way to california for college.
also, yes i'm necroing this topic. Discourse saw fit to drop me here when i asked for /t/1000 and so i'm posting in here! :-D

Boring. Every public school I've gone to had someone pull that prank.
The fun is in coming up with different ways to mess with the rules, like my fallback.
See, the thing is, if you do something boilerplate like show up in a skirt, the teachers go "meh, seen it" and you just get sent home.
You subvert their expectations with something like a decoy shirt, they go "hmm, clever" and you don't get in trouble. I made an entire career of that in high school. They used to finish PE classes early so you could shower if necessary and change. I never needed all the time, so I'd bail out of the gym and go to my locker to get my books for the next class. In spite of the vice principal catching me a dozen times a year, I never got in trouble. Oh, the last time he caught me, he gave me detention with the gym teacher, except he forgot to tell the teacher.
