lopburi3 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndofDays Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) 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.... Edited May 16, 2009 by EndofDays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaiDong Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) 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...

Texpat Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G54 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyree D. Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 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.

JohnGotti Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
