What part of the US do you live in? Near a major city? It’s quite common in NYC and around the NYC suburbs.[/quote]
I live Houston,Tx. I do see the gang bangers sag their pants in my neighborhood but since I hang around the nicer areas in the City (Galleria Area,Heights,Montrose) I generally do not see many other people my age sag their pants.
Fuck,I see more black kids rocking the skinny jeans at the Galleria than anything. I think the hispanic group are probally the most that still sag their pants/dickies. They seriously need to step their game up sometime.[/quote]
That just means you lack experience and are very isolated. I live near the Galleria area but my job is smack dab on the north side in a lower income neighborhood. At least one guy a day comes in with his pants around his ass.
Yes, this was a cultural trend/fad in the early 90’s. It came right alone the time that flat tops had died off to a large degree and shaving your head was becoming the norm. It was originally because of guys wearing clothes too big because many of the clothes designers in the late 80’s and early 90’s ignored black culture meaning most pants were tight…and needless to say, the no one was wearing tight pants back then or wanted to. That meant wearing tight jeans 3 sizes bigger so they were baggy.
Baggy jeans didn’t even become a “regular” style until the late 90’s. Add socioeconomic factors like wearing your big brother’s clothes and THAT is where this started in the general public.
You live in a more well off side of town and from the sounds of things don’t really know of much else. Why comment here when people in your own city see more than you?
