I don't think that sagging pants were ever meant to be fashionable.
Prisoners wear their pants low and show their butts because belts are not allowed in prison.
Belts pose a popular threat as a popular way to commit suicide by hanging yourself, to hang someone else or to use as a weapon in prison brawls/fights/riots.
Prisoners are not allowed to have shoestrings for the same reasons.
There is an even more obvious reason why pants are sagging in prison.
If the pants are below a man's butt, it is to introduce to other prisoners (men) that he is homosexual.
As Eazy E: Rapper: once said about women in skirts, "For easy access, baby."
IMHO: it's disrespectful & it is disgustingly sloppy. :
There's actually a new product for hiding butt-cracks. Forgot what it's called, but it's basically a black pad that you insert into the back of your pants, and a part of it sticks out to prevent any display of your butt-crack.
Ball cap. When you're not wearing it on your head, you stick the bill of your cap into the back of your pants.
Here's another idiot with enough sense to wear matching socks and headgear. Why is he wearing suspenders if he has no intention of pulling up his pants?
Does anyone want to speculate on the meaning of the rag hanging out of his left back pocket?
Also: note how his belt is cinched up tight enough to keep the pants from going up any further. He might actually be holding his belt with his left hand.

Yes, you are correct. Which it is why I tell my brother to stop sagging his pants because it's creepy.

I know for a fact that gang kids and also drug dealers wear handkerchiefs in various pockets as an identification symbol. It DOES mean something.
The hankie means he's a wannabee. All these dweebie guys dress like gang members because they want to appear tough even though they aren't. Actually that guy's dress makes me think he looks sissy with the tight knit green stripe girl's socks and skin tight pants. But he probably thinks he looks really cool.
The sagging pants phenomenon is not new. In the late 80's early 90's, Kids started to wear there pants much looser than before. This proceeded to guys sagging there pants. I just can't believe that after all these years, it's still popular. I'm 32 and can't believe these kids are still doing something that we did so long ago. It's not like a style that came back because it never changed. The new generation just don't seem to know how to come up with something new and different. Young males have been wearing baseball caps, sagging jeans and timberland boots for like 20 years now. We have parents and kids dressing alike now LOL. The parents are still wearing what they wore in high school and the kids are doing the same because it's still in fashion LOL.
Same with Rap, I heard the first one (that I paid attention to) in 1990. It's still going on, God only knows why?
