15+ years ago, while I was still teaching and this fad hit this area of the state, I always had heavy jute rope cut in 3 ft. lengths and gave it to the kids I had ( 13 and younger) to tie up the pants in my class. Why? Safety hazard. You ever see a kid trip on these on a stair? it isn't pretty. One student told me the purpose was to give as much space as possible to "hide stuff".[ Use your imagination -- I was teaching in a ghetto.]
Ridiculous, ugly, impractical, and proof of how fashion victims can be made to wear just about anything in pursuit of "style". I find it hilarious in a pathetic sort of way,as though the brains of the individual have shrunk to the size of a dessicated pea-pod. Mindless sheep are never that attractive let's face it. The funny thing is they always seem to try and pull their pants up showing it really can't be that comfortable at all.
It makes me want to point and laugh at the sheer idiocy of it all. Nothing new though, fashion has always had morons with bigger wallets than brains, women in 18th century France, wearing wigs with ships on top and other assorted decorations , taller and bigger than the last being on example which springs to mind.
Actually, it didn't start in prisons. It started in crack-war ravaged neighborhoods where the younger kids wore their gunned-down older brothers' jeans in part as a tribute, and in part b/c the family couldn't afford to buy new clothes and shoes -- remember the floppy, unlaced sneakers? Then some fashion people saw it and made it a "statement."
He certainly doesn't appear to be the type to sag his pants...
He commercialized rap music. It used to be breakdancing, beat boxing, freestyling but after def jam it became a corporate product. I was also being sarcastic.
