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.

I do recall the jammies ? pants. They were baggy, and often worn with HUMONGOUS tennis shoes, no laces, and no socks. The tongue would flop around, and there wasn't much flesh showing on the leg at all because the pant bottoms scraped the heavily padded collars of the tennis shoe. The T shirts were about 5 sizes too big. I used to shudder as I watched people like that waddling into the "all you can eat" buffet. Sometimes, the t shirt was replaced by a tank top, and gave us the spectacle of man mammaries, and hairy arm pits. yeeks !!

The manner of dress is idiotic imho.
I had to laugh the other day. We were at the gas station, I was sitting in the car. A young girl and guy got out of a car. He got out, pulled his underwear up, pulled his pants down and proceeded to walk up to the store with his legs as far apart as he could to hold his pants up. OMG I was laughing so hard.

Hasn't this been out of style for a few years now? 
It got popular when "gangsta" rap went mainstream & brought jail-inspired "style" to the masses  , but it's been mainstream for too long now. It's not "cool" anymore, just overdone & stupid. I even notice guys who into hip hop wearing more fitted pants that sit at the right place.

Today I noticed a woman in a white see through dress that some wear after they get out of the water. Underneath anyone with eyes could see a swim suit. I was at the grocery store and I would never think that a woman in her mid to late 40's would wear that sort of dress in a market.
I live in Florida and it is not unusual to see younger women wearing the same but this woman had a tatoo just above her right cheek of her can that said STOP! I laughed so hard the woman turned around and frowned.... I hope I didn't embarass the woman but I couldn't help but laugh.....

This stupid pants pulled to their knees started in prison. Wearing your pants pulled down showed other prisoners that you were available for sex or to be some ones boyfriend.
To walk with these pants and to keep them from falling down, one has to continually have to pull them up. Also to prevent them from falling one has to walk like a Penguin or bow legged like they just got off a Horse. This fruity walk is also part of the gang culture.
If these idiots ever had to run for their lives they would be killed. Wrappers are not the sharpest knife in the drawer anyway.
Why does every kid want to be a gang banger streeet thug? What kind of parent would let their kids wear pants so large that you can conceal 12 semi automatic weapons in them without notice? That with the hat worn crooked, the T-shirt as long as an evening gown and then the twisting hand and wrist motions after grabbing their sack all the time.
And they laughed at us for wearing bell bottoms.................

If it annoys the parent generation, mission accomplished
- and yes, I think it's an utterly ridiculous look as well.
As then-Senator Obama put it:

"brothers should pull up their pants. You are walking by your mother, your grandmother, your underwear is showing. What's wrong with that? Come on. There are some issues that we face, that you don't have to pass a law, but that doesn't mean folks can't have some sense and some respect for other people and, you know, some people might not want to see your underwear -- I'm one of them.

Passing a law is using a two-by-four to swat flies.

Well, I guess I wore some silly-looking clothes as a teen and in my twenties.. high platform shoes and go-go boots, furry vests made out of faux fur so I could pretend I was Cher, white lipstick, mini skirts, Granny dresses, bell bottoms, but I'd never wear something that would make me look like I was a baby who'd just had an accident. And waddling along, hardly being able to walk, let alone run, just seems so...limiting!
As a woman, I think cute male butts are very attractive...so don't find the saggy, underwear look attractive at all...to me, it just looks dumb...or is that the point?

Wow some of these comments are off the wall. I am a 26 year old white male. I sag my pants sometimes in public. Saggy pants did not start in prison. That is the most false thing in history. I bet no one can find any scientific proof it started their either. It started in urban areas and grew into the main stream. Tight or skinny jeans are the new thing. Sometimes people sag them too. Saggy pants is nothing but ''fashion''. Has nothing to do with wanting to be a gangster wannabee, thug, or anything else. Go to any college campus and high school in the nation. You will find men with saggy pants.
Why can't kids dress how they want to dress. Why do some people continue to insist. Just because a person like saggy pants. That the person wants to be a wannabee thug or gang banger. Because they wear clothes you don't approve of. If you wear a suit or catholic priest attire. Do you want to be a pedophile? If you wear Hollister and Abecrombie and Fitch. Do you want to be a cocaine and meth seller or user.

I know they think it looks like some cool tough gangsta wear but to me it looks like a toddler weighed down by a load (think diaper).
