I was told by a teacher of mine that The origin of sagging pants come from prison. I was told that in prison, and dominant inmate’s “bitch” wore his pants low to mean that he was the bitch and took it up the ass.
Now i dont know if thats right or not, I found some info on it… The Sizeable Perspective: History of Sagging
Anyone also hear of this/ Id like to tell some skater faggot punk asses at my school about it, I cant stand sagging pants.
I’m pretty sure it comes from prison, though I’m not sure about that. The story I’ve heard is that it’s because they’re not allowed to have belts, choking hazard and all or what not.
Makes perfect sense to me, lol…
It comes from poor people wearing hand me downs. Clothes that are too big.
“your” fail
OOOOh noo they are going to be so ashamed once you give them their history lesson!
On the other hand it does look stupid.
Don’t believe everything you’re taught and why hate those who skate? Skateboarding is not a crime.
Worse than baggy pants are the lame ass skinny jeans. Seriously, what the fuck?

Actually though, sagging pants have a purpose (as I have been learning through internships with police departments). A lot of crack dealers slinging on the corners will take a rock, twist it real tight into the corner of a sandwich baggy and shove a couple rocks up their ass. When stopped/frisked/questioned on the corner by an officer, no one’s going fingering around their ass, and they can usually get away with it. The sagging pants come into play for the easy access. They’ll:
A) grab a rock out and put it in their mouth until they get a buyer, keeping the rest in the vault…
or B) fish one out while you wait to buy one.
Either way, it’s gross as shit, and in the summer if you hit the bad parts of town, you’ll see the little baggy corners in the gutters all over the place.
No idea why anyone would want to emulate that with the sagging pants…

Where the hell are some of you living? Sagging pants is so common around here that NO ONE is relating it to the shit you all seem to be. I personally think it is over the top if your pants are literally halfway around your legs, but to make these statements relating it directly to drug dealing and homosexuality is equally stupid.
It is a cultural issue at this point and you will see different attitudes about clothing depending on what area you drive in around this city.
I will say it is largely a lower income issue in this city and is not related to rich suburban skater kids at all.
baggy pants dont bother me much, plants sagging down ur ass piss me off. skinny jeans are freakin lame.
Speaking of cultural trends, while I’m sure changing locations has something to do with it, it seems like the general clothing trend for guys seems to be going from sagging to skinny jeans. I still can’t decide which is worse. Equally bad in my opinion lol.
Me and my wife were strolling along the mall today, saw a guy swagging along with his pants so low you could see his thighs under his BVDs. Hard to be a low income issue when they were desiner shoes and what not, I have pictures of my great grandfather holding his pants up by using rope as a belt.
With the skinny/womens jeans, who else has seen a long haired figure with tight hoodie and tight jeans only to find out its a dude?
Lookin like a fool…
Yea it started in prison. I heard from many people that the sagging pants was for ease of access.
What’s worse than all of them is sagging skinny jeans. Have any of yall seen these losers?

OP just asked where it originated from. Not why everyone does it. I’m not saying everyone does it to peddle crack, OR to be like crack dealers. Just why people started.
Saggy Jeans and Skinny Pants are both terrible. Another one that annoys the hell out of me and is usually a staple with the Skinny Jean crowd is the brightly colored high tops being worn by girls and guys. It doesn’t work for girls cause its a fuckin hightop. It doesn’t work for guys cause its brightly colored and has skinny jeans tucked into it! Either way you fail!
