Hip hop/R&B fashion today is the opposite of 1990s hip hop fashion.
Today's hip hoppers try to be too neat and tidy, kind of the prissy version of hip hop fashion.
That's the trend of society too, young males today are absurdly tidy, really pathetic.
I agree with the underlined. I have a lot of male family members and they are way too into their style and looking good

I wonder what caused the change, its like night and day compared to 1990s.
In the 1990s a male trying extra hard to be neat would either be called gay or a 'try-hard', or they'd be 'whipped' by their fashion-conscious wife.
It'd be considered the opposite of 'cool'.
Plus it just stands to reason, someone trying really hard to be neat and polished is really not in a cool/lay-back frame of mind.
So I'm not sure what's happened since the 1990s to change things so much.
What people are wearing in those pictures is how people dress "hip hop" now a days. The outfit that Jay-Z is wearing, my son wears the same thing lol. He will be 16 soon. So does my teen to 20something nephews. You posted old people and a little nerdy looking kid. they don't represents hip hop fashion. I think since you hate rap, you don't know anything about hip hop fashion - newsflash - it is not 1980s/1990s baggy pants anymore. Most kids wear tight, form fitting clothes - sweat pants that are "skinny" are in style with tank tops in summer or hoodies in fall/winter. Tight "skinny" jeans are in style with button up shirts and accessories. You must not have any young relatives who are "into" hip hop. As I stated about the female rapper - that she is rather raunchy, a lot of girls/young women into "hip hop" IMO are also too raunchy and wear clothes that are too tight and don't fit right and they like to show off their boobs like that rapper does lol.
Sorry I was back in my home town earlier in the summer and the gangsta wannabes were dressed more like the people in my pictures. Rich people and movie stars may do it differently. Check your privilege.

Rap is more about fashion and materialism now. I think that this change in the genre is reflected by a change in fashion of hip hop fans. It is less about being "hard" and living a rough life. Contrary to what people believe, most rappers aren't "gangster" anymore
