Why are Kids Still "Sagging?"

[Keith Justice]

It was fucking odd and looked down upon when I was a kid. Much like the retarded Skidz pants and rolling up the cuffs of your jeans I felt it only a matter of time before the pant sagging would also die.

But it hasn't! It looks stupid! WHY?! WHY DO THEY DO IT?!?!?! :shakefist

 

[Kenori]

I do it. Not because it looks cool, but because I dont like belts. I dont give a **** what people mthink about me and my pants. I am most comfortable like that. I try to keep my pants up so as not to show my bare ass, but I honestly dont care.

 

[Raida|23]

How these kids dare...damn. Maybe they dont know that you think it's stupid

I completely echo Keith here. Not only does it look completely broke-ass, but no one wants to see some skinny kid's sorry-ass boxer shorts. Plus, there's the whole economy of motion thing. Isn't it hard to walk, run, jump or kick with the natural flex points of your pants about four to eight inches too low?

You don't even have to wear a belt - just get some damn pants that fit! You don't need a PhD in physics to figure out while you're buying pants, "hey, these pants with the 34 inch waist drop off my ass like an emo kid from the Golden Gate Bridge... maybe I should try the 32 inch waistline."

I honestly don't know myself. However, I read somewhere that sagging was originally a way of saying you were available in prison.

Shamontiel, of Associated Content, backs this up.

Sagging pants was never meant to be fashionable. Prisoners wear their pants this low because belts are a popular way to commit suicide by hanging oneself, to hang others, or to use as a weapon in fights. Prisoners are also not allowed to have shoestrings for the same reasons. But there is an even more obvious reason why pants are sagging in prison. If the pants are below a man's bottom, it is to introduce to other men that he is homosexual. As Eazy E once said about women in skirts, "For easy access, baby."

So, this should be gay fashion?

Spread the word.

I'm sorry man, but it looks just terrible. For a summer the fashion was for people to wear their pants backward. For a time women were told that maybe they should wear clothes 4 sizes too big, but figured out that 2 sizes too small worked better.

There's no reason for this. Like ODP said, it's not even practical. I've seen these kids... constantly having to hold their pants up or pull them up. It' like walking around with your shoe untied and always having to reach down and put the shoe back on your foot.

Like the second wave of boy band craze, I just don't understand how something like this has lasted this long. I thought this would have been one of the "Shames of the 90's" that we'd look back and laugh at... but kids are still doing it!

Pull your pants up! :shakefist

 

[Faded.Memories]

UGH! I agree! I HATE that stupid fashion fad.

I'd actually like to SEE the ass I'm checking out, you know?

Thank GOD Faiz' pants fit properly, AND he's got a nice ass. :thumbs:

PULL YOUR PANTS UP!!!! :shakefist

I'll never understand why people think this looks good either. It reminds me of a time I saw someone trying to steal something from a store and running, dropping stuff all along the way because he had to keep one hand on his pants. Idiot eventually tripped over himself.

I don't like super-tight pants, nor do I like really baggy stuff, I just wear whatever I feel comfortable in...and that includes a belt, which I've always worn.

 

[KR Hyper Kabuto]

For me? I have no pants that do that. I hate saggy pants. They just don't feel right.

Firm, comfortable, wearable pants are for me. Not saggy, droopy, ass-crack showing pants.
