I've always seen doing this as stupid and I'll admit that I do think less of people who do that and those who wear their pants that way have given me no reason to think I'm wrong about them.
Just as stupid as girls walking around with their arse cheeks hanging out of their tiny jean shorts. Or their vaginas bulging out of their yoga pants everywhere you turn. Both of which are far more common than guys with their pants sagging. I rarely ever see that anymore. It was more common in the 80's and 90's during the early rap days.
I can't stand it !!! Sagging makes one look ignorant! Im all about style but this is a fashion no! When my boys were younger they did sag by showing the brand of their underwater with belts on. Now people are wearing their pants so low, holding their crotch while walking so they don't drop to the ground. I can't even begin to understand wanting to present oneself in this manner!
As someone else said the idea originated in the prison system. If your pants were hanging off your ass, you were wanting/available for anal sex or happy to be everyone else's bitch.
When you look at it that way it's a very subservient - placed at the bottom of the totem pole - message and comically people who wear their pants this way think they're cool.
When you go to jail, they take your belt. Your pants fall down. So having your pants down is fake street cred. I have done a lot of things in my life when I was young and dumb. I was never attested. A smart criminal would be proud to never be in jail. A moron thinks it is cool. Can't fix moron.
Hate it sooo much. My boyfriend used to do this and every time he did I would pull his pants up and smack his ass. He hated that so eventually he kept it up at all times.
Its ridiculous, and even more so because most guys who do it have no idea that this style orginated in prison settings, and sagging your pants is used to signal sexual availability lol. Yikes!
Sagging pants as a signal for being available for anal sex is a myth. I don't know why so many people still propagate that myth.
The true origin is simply the fact that the pants in prison generally were too big sometimes and belts were banned due to suicide prevention. Has nothing to do with being "available" sexually. Furthermore, rape and homosexuality is severely frowned upon in the prison system. If you want to survive you wouldn't advertise yourself in that way.
@Wraith_Cemetery Don't shoot the messenger. Just repeating what I've learned. But hey... I dont think its such a bad idea to let this be known as a fact (even if it isn't)... maybe it would prevent people from sagging their pants. ;)
No its weak. Life comes down to fight or flight for survival. The strongest survive, so theyre weakening themselves biologically because they dont even look capable of holding down a job to women, especially if you can't use a belt to hold up your pants. Jesus Christ, i hate seeing that. Makes me want to hit the gym, even on an empty stomach
Those people did not understand the concept of what trousers are supposed to achieve. It would be good for them to eat only with a spoon - they might get hurt by a fork, or worse... a knife.
I have even heard that its a prison thing to let other prisoners know you are open for business.. So it makes me laugh when I see people wearing them low thinking they look cool..
