I am now seeing extreme examples of this in (wait for it) Milton Keynes. You might be making a statement if you’re in Brixton or LA, round here you’re just wearing a sign that says I’M A FUCKING IDIOT! and I HAVE TO WALK LIKE A PENGUIN!
Variations on the buttock-covering aspect seem to be 1) wear a really long tee shirt or 2) flapping boxers.
Where is this going? Belts a knee level? Wearing BVDs to cover the arse? Clown trousers?
Here is the relevant quote from the article I just linked to. He tripped once, allowing one girl to escape while he got back up…then:
Let the sagger know that in some prisons, you are advertising your services when you sag your pants…
That should make them pull 'em up…
A few months ago I saw a guy with his pants belted just above his knees. I could see between his legs over his belt. He looked freakin’ ridiculous.
Am I the only one who gets the urge to sneak up behind these morons and either de-pants them or give them an Atomic Death Wedgie?
The killer was 44-years old. It is bad enough when a punk kid does it, but if you are older than me and still doing it, you deserve to fall off a fire escape because of it.
No, stomp down on their belt-area so it pantses them, then shove em over. I saw this trend back in high school, I thought it was stupid then, and it’s stupid now. It makes them look like they’re so lazy they can’t be bothered to dress themselves all the way.
You know, part of me hopes that this fashion trend never dies. It is just so funny!
And I like to laugh…
That’s what I tell them … it doesn’t help. They’re ign’nt and they’re too stuck on conforming with their peers that it’s not important. What do you think they’re going to do - run around telling this to everyone? Not a chance.
Awesome! It’s like cow tipping, only more satisfying!
I remember it in high school too, as part of the whole grunge thing. Stick-thin guys wearing 50 inch waist pants, so not only were they hanging off their asses but the legs would drag on the ground and get all torn up and frayed. Blechhhh.
Wow, I didn’t know that there were still threads from 1995 in the site database.
what the hell is an “Asbo”?
I just felt this was a good time to post about these handy new inventions. (web site, but the video starts when you open it)
ASBO = Anti Social Behaviour Order - essentially a UK court order to stop the recipient from continuing to behave in a way, which is not a criminal act, but is deemed objectionable by the man (like wearing hooded sweatshirts in a mall, or having loud sex at home). Breaching the ASBO is an offence and can lead to criminal sanctions.
And no I’m not making those examples up.
And it happened shortly after a gunfight in Times Square. He was shot by the cops after his gun jammed by…
wait for it…
holding it sideways, gangsta-style. :smack:
Huh. Here the fashion police only has the power to soundly mock the offender.
i have a better idea. Make these losers wear their pants like this if/when they become incarcerated themselves.
I’ll bet that wakes up a few of these idiots.
I don’t mind a little fashion individuality, but this is the dumbest trend I’ve seen in a long while. And it has been for the 10+ years it’s been around. Disco died… why doesn’t this?
Just about the time I had come to grips with the notion that sagging, baggy pants were here to stay, at least among a certain segment of the population, I walked behind a young lad the other day sporting sagging, skinny hipster jeans. I didn’t think it was possible, but I believe they actually looked even more ridiculous than the old-school baggy, sagging pants.
I think kids are still doing it because they know that it drives adults crazy. Seems like a good enough reason for most teenagers.
Around here, the sagging trend seems to be fading away. I live in an urban area and haven’t seen super saggy pants in a year or more. Make way for the next trend that will drive adults mad!
Point and laugh? OK, but I prefer to fire rubber bands at the exposed pant-covered buttock.
I mean- it’s not like they’re going to be able to give chase, is it?
