I've seen some really wacky saddle angles on the various cheap fixed gear or single speed bikes the kids are riding in the city these days. I think it's just because they don't know any better (saw some of them attempting a front brake repair one time, and it was clear they didn't know what they were doing).

Modern Italian saddle on a less than modern Italian bike. Super comfy for me.
