1. There is a positive side to this.

We can be relatively certain that these young men are wearing clean underwear.

[In_The_Wind]

4. We can guess they didn't reverse 'em for a 2nd day's wear.

Hate to admit it but this makes me feel old.
I don't want to see 4 to 6 inches of underwear above pants.

Wildwood NJ just banned

[olddots]

2. are people still sagging ?

how can they run ?

[In_The_Wind]

5. Sagging isn't legal on the Boardwalk in Wildwood!

Running might cause tripping.

7. I agree!

[olddots]

6. where did sagging start ?

its like the mysterious smiley face , was it a take on old guys who pull their pants up to their nipples ?

[In_The_Wind]

8. Danged if I know

It really is a turn off.

[Jeff R]

10. Check

My post to this thread.
It may be of some help.

9. Jailing

That is the "proper" term. When people are arrested they take the belt to prevent hanging of self.
Among some of the world it became a badge of honor, having been inside or just a wanna be.
How it became a "fashion" statement is beyond my comprehension.

[In_The_Wind]

11. I totally missed that. I thought the guys thought they looked HOT.

[Jeff R]

13. Hot

I'm sure some of them might even believe it.
Also been told a lot easier to carry a shot gun with pants in that position. That of course opens a whole different avenue of exploration.

[Wounded Bear]

18. Not sure about that term, but......

yeah, it's part of the "gansta" look. Urban ghetto kind of thing.

[Jeff R]

27. Hear you

That is the term as explained to me by a gentleman who had just gotten out of jail back in the early 90's. in Md. Don't even know if it still applies but I have heard nothing different, so who knows for sure. By now it could have a different meaning.

[Wounded Bear]

12. To double down on this thought....

There seems to be a new fashion trend I've noticed over the past few months. Couple of years, I guess. I haven't seen many, but I've seen a few.

is with the belt line of your pants around your ass or lower and skinny leg jeans?

Truly leaves me wondering about the future or our youth.

[Jeff R]

14. ASS

Could be they are conveying something us older folks know nothing about.
It does give pause for thought and speculation. Not all in my mind as being :nice"

[In_The_Wind]

15. IMO: A belt under your ass is totally useless. This guy looks gross:

This isn't a good look either.

[madinmaryland]

16. Oh Fer fuck sakes. Is this what you really want to see...

I think there is more to this than we are willing to admit. I'll take the young african american with his underpants showing any day over the the white guy flashing his butt crack.

[In_The_Wind]

20. That photo makes me happy my sink is working.

Either way ... butts need better coverage.

[madinmaryland]

22. Actually, you do have a very good point. I really like my plumber!!

[In_The_Wind]

24. I truly understand.

[hedgehog]

17. There was a comment about how off-putting this style is -

made in the movie Clueless (1995!)

[In_The_Wind]

21. Dude that's totally rude.

[hedgehog]

28. You are my master in the art of the Google-

I bow before you!

23. MFM has started a new fashion trend!

[texanwitch]

25. I don't see it so much anymore here.

I hope it stops.

It looks silly.

[In_The_Wind]

26. That's wonderful news! Cause it does look silly.

29. This has been going on for centuries. You know that, right?

Young kids wearing clothes specifically designed to annoy the older generation. (That's us now, I guess.)

College kids in the 1920's would wear "Oxford bags", very baggy pants that would send their elders into frenzies of disapproval.

It's been going on longer than that, actually.

In England in the 18th Century, there was a young mens' club called the Macaroni Club. The only requirements for membership were to be a rich kid with too much money, too much time on his hands, and a penchant for outrageous clothing. The more flamboyant, the better. It really annoyed the staid, conservative older generation.

During the revolution. British soldiers used to make fun of the American troops, deriding them as country bumpkins so unsophisticated that they thought sticking a feather in their caps would make them fancy enough to belong to the Macaroni Club.

They sang a song about it that survives to this day:

Yankee Doodle went to town
Riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his cap,
And called it 'Macaroni'.

[In_The_Wind]

30. Sometimes it's cute. Sometimes it's dangerous for the person to wear.

I was a flower child.



My lack of clothes concerns people when it really shouldn't.

Sometimes I stick a feather in my hat.
What do you have to say about that?

[Aristus]

31. Nothing.

Especially if a hat is all you're wearing...

Love the flower-child pics.

[In_The_Wind]

32. Now we're getting somewhere.

33. Check

It out. Just had to see how this thread was going.
Must admit clothing styles do change. They even go back to the style of yesteryear..

[In_The_Wind]

34. Hahahaha

[img][/img] Yep!
