The neoprene strap also works great when pulled over your eyes to keep the sun out after a late night out, or so I have been told 

freediver:I wear mine backwards out of sheer convenience for one as well as to let the neoprene strap serve as a sunscreen on my exposed forehead. It never dawned on me that I might be making an attempt to look cool or that I would embitter someone who thought I was trying to look cool. Maybe my mask strap should read "I am only trying to look cool, inside I am very anal". The funny thing to me are the instructors who find it a ridiculous act to put the mask on the forehead so they punish and "fine" the student with another ridiculous act of having them buy beer for the dive instructor. So are we trying to promote safe behaviors here or aren't we?
