Joker Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Originally posted by Kilo7- and the difference between that and the hiphop kids with 3XL sweatpants that hang off their hips is what exactly? This is yet another fad that boggles the mind. Pants so huge that they hang down midway on the wearer's ass. Thus making the wearer walk funny just to keep them from falling down. Why is it a fashion to wear your pants halfway down your ass? Believe me, I'm not knocking the style. I did some silly shit myself when I was a teen. Foot high mohawks, extremely tight black bondage pants with two or three studded belts, three inch high creepers... I could go on but will save myself the embarrasment. I'm just trying to understand why kids are wearing their pants this way. Did some Hip-Hop guy start this? I just want to go up and pull that shit down it looks so stupid. And Hot Topic... these kids kill me. Being from an era when Punk was still mainly underground, to see these overnight punkers strolling through town with huge attitudes and a chip on their shoulder so big that it weighs them down. Like Andy Rooney said... give me a break! The fact that Hot Topic sells items with Anarchy symbols on them is a testament to why it's a lame store. Yea, I still got my 12" platform Gene Simmons boots... don't make me show you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 hey joker.... you asked where the 'pants half way down' trend came from? I might be wrong with this but a huge number of 'hiphop' trends all have to do with being hard. Where do 'hard' people go? Prison! They take away your belt in the lockdown, so real hard hiphop guys have to walk about with the pants hanging like they just got let out. I may be totally off.... but prison seems to be the only excuse for white tank tops, matching demin suits, sliper-sneakers and DMX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 on day 3, hesh called me in the middle of my final to ask me what was up with the board. that's some pookie shit. i'll bet there was a 14% increase in painting, nation wide (30% in kangaroo land) as a result of the 'great black-out' of 03. seeks/12oz, we paint so you don't have to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Originally posted by seeking i'll bet there was a 14% increase in painting(30% in kangaroo land) . none of the aussie toys on this board paint, they just go on the melbourne thread jerking off to 3 year old photos of dorps panels. so there was a 0% increase here, it just cruised along as normal. -yeah that's right kids, i called you out, and if you'd ever done anything i'd cross you out too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 all of these things stem from slightly different facets of 'urban' living. economics: everyone knows the stereotype of black people rock plastic covers on furniture. why? to keep it looking nice. now do you think someone thats going to render their furniture completely uncomfortable in the name of presentation, is also going to allow someone to wear their shoes in the house? hell no. hence the phenomenon of 'house shoes'. it's not so much about replicating slippers in prison, as much as just a part of growing up in an envirenment where you have to try and make what little you have, as presentable as possible. this is where wife beaters, dickies and white t-shirts come from. as long as your shit is clean, you can look 'good'. of course there is also the masculine peacocking and symbolism inherent in the wife beater as well. as far as shit hanging all off their ass, i would think it comes not so much from the 'prison' look, but from to look as 'casual' and 'cool' as you possibly can. being 'cool' is the most important thing in the world, when it's all you have. walking around looking like some uppidy white guy is not 'cool' in the slightest. looking like you're always living a life of leisure is 'cool' however. i'm not discrediting the effect jail-house fashion might play, but i think its a bit more of a self-petuation product of the same people being in jail. head to toe denim is simply black folks liking to match. anyone that knows anything about urban fashion knows about the importance of the 'hook up'. go into any urban shoe store, try on any pair of shoes, and ask the salesman if they 'have the hook up for these'. 100 to 1 odds say he'll point to a rack of t-shirts and hats in matching colors. i duno exactly what it is, but black folks gotta be coordinated. im sure it harkens back to the notion that if 'look good' that your life is good. why do you think that name-brand, overly priced clothes and jewelry have alway been so popular? why do black folks rock big ass jackets with nascar racing logos on them? you think oll boy watches nacar? you think he's real into 'tide', 'dupont' or 'cheerios'? hell no. it's just a big ass logo he can wear. incredibly counter productive if you ask me, but since you didn't, we'll leave it at that. anyway, now that i've brought harvard to harlem, feel free to tell me i'm a stupid racist and i suck, so i can laugh at you for being a worthles uptight PC jackass ashamed of his own skin. seeks/does this tec-9 go with these bunny slippers?
