12868546, Young people sagging their pants
Posted by John Forte, Fri Jul-31-15 11:15 AM
THIS IS NOT A RESPECTABILITY POLITICS POST.

What part of the game is that? That's a 20+ year old trend that's long since played out. It's not practical or fashionable, and it's not like these niglets are stuck in the 90s, because they were BORN in the 90s. I'm not outraged at the sight of someone's boxers, I'm just genuinely curious, like "for why?" Why aren't you wearing skinny joggers and shit? Or pants that fit.
12868555, saw a kid with the pants at the knees and long johns on underneath
Posted by T Reynolds, Fri Jul-31-15 11:21 AM
on the train this last winter

gotta keep the thighs warm while saggin u know?

I used to sag so I get it and all, but kids are going to stupid lengths with it and the style of pants are not conducive to saggin. The jogger pants already have the low crotch so when you sag to mid thigh the crotch is at the knee. It's poor form.

I blame it on the lack of quad and hamstring muscles among the youth...

EDIT: Funniest shit I seen in a long time was 2 hood hipster dudes fighting outside of sway with pants sagged to the knee... it was like little tops falling over every 5 seconds..
12868558, this ain't even sagging... this is indecent exposure

and it's HILARIOUS when it's a butch/stud broad doing it...

Posted by PoppaGeorge, Fri Jul-31-15 12:13 PM
I think I told y'all about the time at Walmart (of course) where this couple got to scrappin, and dudes were about to jump in and beat the nigga's ass until they figured out it was two WOMEN fighting. The "stud" or whatever looked so... HOOOOAAARD that folks genuinely mistook her for a burly ass man. IIRC Kangol beret, white wifebeater underneath a tough ass linen shorts outfit, manly belt, shorts saggin' with boxers underneath, and manly closed toe leather fisherman's sandals.

She was tossin her SO around like a fuckin rag doll too.

Posted by PoppaGeorge, Fri Jul-31-15 12:43 PM
I know I've seen a couple more, but the one I distinctly remember was a masculine/femme couple there the femme dude was extra outlandish and crazy acting on the freight accusing his SO of trying to talk to some chick. They got off the bus and as soon as the femme dude got both feet on the ground the maculine dude turned around and slapped the living shit outta his SO. Dude fell back into the bus screeeeeeeeeeaming, jumped up and started windmilling and yelling while the other cat was on some stick-and-move shits.

Bus driver closed the door and drove off. Didn't call the cops or anything, just kept it moving.

LOL

wtf?
12869151, My bad I meant hetero-- but I did see two gay guys fight once.
Posted by Atillah Moor, Sat Aug-01-15 09:36 AM
And it ended when the other guy tapped out j/k j/k.

Actually it was one guy knocking the other guy the fuck out in one punch. Dude had the leathers on and everything-- vest but no shirt-- chaps, very blue oyster. Other guy hit his orbital on the corner of a table on the way down.

Guy then staggered back up talking bout "give me a mirror!!". I think that shit got fractured cause you could see the dent but no blood was coming out. We were like "uhhh maybe you need to head to a hospital"

Dude that stole on him was all "oh my god tommy I'm so sorry!" Practically in tears himself and in whatever tone you imagine his voice might have sounded like.

Wild night.

and so domestic violence among them doesn't count. b/c they're not all the way ppl.

i mean, they're kinda ppl. but more like kids. or like real smart pets.
12869155, My point is it's often in public or so it would seem.
Posted by Atillah Moor, Sat Aug-01-15 09:43 AM
No color boundaries, no age boundaries, like-- you would think women would not be prone to get physically aggressive with each other and certainly not in public.

12868577, i want to know if they buy their pants too small?

I feel like dude(usually) is just awkwardly heading off to his or her next police encounter.
12868576, of course, the answer is they do it b/c we hate it.
Posted by SoWhat, Fri Jul-31-15 11:36 AM
well, in part b/c we hate it. the more we bitch about it the lower the sag goes. it's youth rebellion - pure and uncut.
12868581, The most hilarious thing to me is how do they prepare to go out?
Posted by WarriorPoet415, Fri Jul-31-15 11:42 AM
Like you just know dudes are in the mirror at home like:

"damn, is this too much ass to show?"

*pulls pants up*

"naw, you can just barely see my waist band, lemme pull down just a scooch.."

*checks self in mirror*

"nah, that's not enough ass..."

*pulls down pants slightly*

"hmmm, too much topcheek?, lemme do this again...."


Like what fuckin' part of the game is that?????

It's a really corny mostly Black urban anti-establishment thing. I mean our generation bought jeans extra extra baggy, but there were some who bought regular sized jeans and just sagged. Now 20 years later the baggy jeans are long gone, but tons of kids are still sagging. The doorags came and went, but kids are still sagging. The boots & military gear came and went, but kids are still sagging. The throwbacks came and went, but kids are still sagging.
I'm not sure when or how it can be stopped, but it needs to be stopped.

Let my love slide in and never slip out
12868585, Young dudes these days like to have their ass out, literally.
Posted by flipnile, Fri Jul-31-15 11:44 AM
Edit: And it's not "sagging" anymore. These young folks PLAN to have their pants below their ass. Even sizing up their belts for it.

Edit #2: At least, with our generation (folks born in the 70s/early 80s), it was something new. A fashion trend that didn't exist before. Same with 5XL jerseys.

I can't think of ONE fashion trend that these young folks have come up with themselves nowadays, except for maybe straight dudes wearing skirts and facial piercings. A whole generation of biters.
12868587, Didn't most of start sagging because the seams were too high anyways?
Posted by MEAT, Fri Jul-31-15 11:45 AM
Nobody wanted to wear short ass clothes and even the "loose" fitting stuff wasn't that loose.
12868674, Thats how I always took it. Hand me downs were too big/small
Posted by Brotha Sun, Fri Jul-31-15 12:40 PM
And black kids made it fashionable.

12868662, In just about every society having your ass out shows severe ignorance.
Posted by Atillah Moor, Fri Jul-31-15 12:33 PM
It's an open invitation to have a foot put straight into it. '

I get that it's thought of as fashion, but sometimes function needs to win over fashion.

I think it's more often than not a sign of how broken one's home could be. I remember when I first started seeing kids doing this and I hated it then as a teen. Lol and to think I thought it would pass. at least the "ski mask" trend died down a little bit. I just don't understand sometimes why some of us want to make life harder for ourselves.

12868681, I grew up wearing hand me downs that looked weird on my waist.
Posted by Brotha Sun, Fri Jul-31-15 12:44 PM
My pants would be too high and you'd see my ankles n shit. Sagging saved me. Either that, or they were too big and they sagged no matter what I did because my belt wasnt my size so it wasnt tight enough.


The dudes that wear tight jeans and sag, iono what's going on there. Either way, its not my business and its counterproductive to police how low someone's pants hang. Fuck will that change.
12868693, i love all the *they* talk in here. if you're in your early 30s you* were
Posted by Government Name, Fri Jul-31-15 12:52 PM
doing the same sh*t too. only difference is the waist size. why do we expect any different or better from these kids?
12868710, Nah, even with sagging jeans the ass was covered by a 3XL jersey
Posted by flipnile, Fri Jul-31-15 01:08 PM
These kids literally have their boxers out. We never had to wear two pairs of boxers to make sure the shit stains wouldn't show.
12868745, the wearing of 2 boxers....

I never ever wore jeans sagging to my knees. With a belt buckled in. That makes zero sense to me.
12868912, Im an old head and I remember when sagging first got popular in the 90's...
Posted by ThaTruth, Fri Jul-31-15 04:58 PM
it was when "designer underwear" bacame popular like Calvin Klein/Tommy Hilfiger/Joe Boxer etc. back then we only sagged enough to show the waistband of your underwear sort of like this...:

and telling the the now generation that they're doing dumb shit wrong?
How ridiculous and hypocritical.

If your angle isn't necessity vs style, you have no point.
The style evolved. You were part of perpetuating it. Let the kids live.

Maybe they didn't invent sagging their pants but I'd be happy to give them the credit for that one if they want it.

In public? Which could be construed as meaning "I hope these young men continue to promote an image of ignorance within society"? Because few if any think a person who shows their butt in public is of any value to anyone.

Which is one reason why these kids stay bouncing between jobs at Starbucks, potbelly, etc.

I can't wear pants where they're supposed to be. It feels uncomfortable. So I buy a bigger waist size and lower them 2 or 3 inches below my belly-button.
