May 16, 200916 yr What is it with youngsters these days wearing their trousers/pants half way down their arse, it just looks ridiculous. Answers anyone?
May 16, 200916 yr These days? Over here it has been around for many many years. Started with surfers..... Then slide onto the skateboarders..... After that it was all the gang banger MTV video wanna be's Now it is just part of that whole baggy look I guess
May 16, 200916 yr Haven't been watching enough "Cops" or music videos on TV George. It appears to be the hip hop/rap fashion statement. I agree - dumb.
May 16, 200916 yr What is it with youngsters these days wearing their trousers/pants half way down their arse, it just looks ridiculous. Answers anyone? I actually found out where that "fashion" statement orginiated from. In U.S. prisons, it used to be that when someone wore their pants down low, pass their butt, it was a sign that they "belonged" to someone, if you know what I mean. They were somebody's bi...well you know the word. Now, with enforced universal prison uniforms it has gone away. When I explained that to a kid back in the states, he just looked at me, and I explained, "think about it, why would somebody put their pants down like that, it is called advertisement and owndership." Maybe someone should tell these thai kids that and we can nip it in the bud....
May 16, 200916 yr Like this??? That is more along the lines of "plumber's crack" I believe. Feel free to correct me if I have misdiagnosed.

May 16, 200916 yr Like this??? No, I am not an American transvestite, but I did buy my jeans in Thailand
May 16, 200916 yr Hip-Hop 1990's. Some places you can be fined or sent to jail. Are your Jeans Sagging - Go to Jail Bet you don't mind it on the females.
May 16, 200916 yr They honestly look ridiculous and quite stupid - like little boys who can't take care of themselves, the thing is though, if you told them that or laughed at them they'd probably shoot you or stab you(depending on what side of the Atlantic you're on) So I suppose the purpose of this 'fashion' is to show people that you are a bit dim and that you should be avoided...
May 16, 200916 yr I don't get it. After they hold up the liqour store, how can they possibly run from the cops with their pants down like that? Just doesn't make sense. Sorta like Japanese Olympic sprinters wearing kimonos.
May 16, 200916 yr Fashion trends. You remember Teddy Boys? Mods? Punk Rock? Parents thought that ridiculous too, but the kids like it. Their way or rebelling. Of making a statement. I see nothing wrong with it, though I may not like it.
May 16, 200916 yr Its the fashion. Better than Winkle Picker shoes and drainpipe trousers lol.... I think it looks quite cool, but not too low down.
May 16, 200916 yr I for one wouldn't mine one bit whacking any of them across the butt with a BIG old stick
May 16, 200916 yr The girl on the right is clearly Australian ... Nah definitely goes with the flag shown. Australians have more class or should that be arse.
May 16, 200916 yr the prison thing is a rumor. it started by parents buying their kids pants extra sizes so it would take longer for them to grow out of them and become replaced. but then again, seeing how gay Thai boys are, maybe the prison story is true for them.
May 16, 200916 yr 1990's hip hop culture as already stated. not popular anymore. i susepect you are talking about those skinny jeans where the the back is very loose, but i still dont think underwear is exposed with that fashion style. surprised to see the mods allowing so many racist posts.

It was a trend in U.S. prison up into the 90's until the majority of prisons went to the wearing of a standard uniform. Look it up.
May 16, 200916 yr Its pretty passe in the US these days, only people still wearing it are the hiphop gangsta wannabees. but its no longer so much the fashion among the middle class kids anymore.
