why do i see 70's bikes with flipped bars?

So i did a search but couldnt find it----I always see these like homeless guys or white trash riding around on old 10 speeds with the handlebars flipped over---why is that?

my guess is that a drop bar is too low for them, and that it was fashionable in the 70's, 80's to have a 10 speed but people didnt really like bending over and wanted their bars closer to them?

theres got to be more to it than that though? right?

thanks
