Baggy Pants - will the fad ever end?

[ZoWhat]

This is one of my biggest pet peeves and I'm wondering if this fad will ever die.

I grew up in the 80's during the Kris Kross phase when everyone was wearing their clothes backwards. In my high school it only caught on by a couple of rebelious students but it (fad) died after a couple of summers.

On Saturday, I was eating at the mall and I was watching a chubby kid walk with his baggy pants and boxers showing. He would go 2 steps and would have to grab the back of his pants to "hitch" them up. It was funny. I've seen some kids who grab the front to keep them up. That looks really uncomfortable if you have to walk a long way.

Here's an article about the history of the fad --- I always thought it started because of the one size fits all uniforms issued to prison inmates. Some of the theories spelled out in the article made me laugh -- "advertising as a male prostitute in prison".

I'm wondering if the reason kids wear their pants down low is because the oppostite sex thinks it's sexy.


Anyway, I hope if you are reading this you will sound off in this thread.

LMFBO! That is soooo true!:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yes, I get great amusement watching people have to cling to their pants just to be able to walk. I tell you, though, it made catching them in foot chases a lot easier

Ugh. This lady does NOT think that uber-saggy pants are sexy.

I'm not too fond of really tight, show-what-you-got pants, either, though.

I don't know. I'm a fan of perfectly fitting clothing myself. I like it where it's loose enough to allow complete and unhindered range of motion but not any more than that.

i dont really see a lot of kids with super baggy pants anymore.
alot of the teen geared stores seem to sell more of the good fitting jeans, the new fas seemes to be the ripped/ faded jeans. at least thats what i see

I hope so! :eek:

Now I'm not a violent man.
But when I see a guy wearing baggy pants hanging halfway off his ass I just want to beat him unmercifully until him and his baggy pants are lying in a puddle of his own piss and blood.
When the cops arrive one of them would say" What kind of an animal could do this to another human being?"

I totally agree. The clothes can't be tight but they can't be baggy as shit either. Just a nice balance of the two, so it's comfortable.

I'm tired of seeing all these douchebags walking around with pants that are so low and baggy that I can see their damn underwear. Yeah, you have $30 Tommy Hilifiger underwear on you baggy-pant-wearin'-mother-fucker, but I can still see your shit stains. PULL 'EM UP!!!

I don't think its still that big of a fad. atleast here in Maine it isn't. It's mainly hardcore kids or white guys who act black that wear baggie pants here

Amen. I completely agree with you, I have to admit though, it does amuse me when on shows like COPS you have people who have their hands behind their back and their pants are around their ankles, and only THEN are they screaming to have their pants pulled up.

I don't mind them being a bit baggy, it just pisses me off when they only cover half of a guys ass and I can see his god damn underwear.

Unless a girl does it. I saw a hot chick wearing baggy jeans sagging way down and wearing some stripey girl-boxers... Whoa mumma.

Nowadays, at least from what I observe in school, alot of people are wearing the slim or more bootcut style. Baggy pants seem to have gone out with the late 90s, except for the white kids who try to act black, those guys still don baggy pants:dunno:

I know a lot of guys who wear girl's jeans nowadays

I'd choose this over this anyday.

God damn little emo shits with their skin tight girl jeans... Can't stand 'um. Makes my legs feel all uncomfortable.

Oh hell yeah. I'm irish and thus have the body type of a big build irishman, though I'm a bit overweight , and I would never feel comfortable in tight pants
