OMG PANTS on The Floor

I've thought this myself.

 

im surprised no one seems to have mentioned the origin of the saggy pants trend:
back in the 80's the prison system started confiscating the belts of inmates to prevent them from attempting suicide. guess they thought it'd be cute outside of prison walls too...

 

I had actually heard that but wasn't entirely sure it was the origin of the... "style".

 

i've heard several different versions of the "origin" of the style. the most common explanation i've heard was that people sagged their pants in jail to let other inmates know they were willing to take it in the ass. but i have no evidence of that or any other explanation i've heard, so i take them all with a grain of salt.

 

If you say 'what's this world coming to' and your biggest complaint is youth fashion, I wonder how you'd react to an actual problem.

 

Yeah, Celsius, I laughed too. The better one was a video I saw on TV of a guy that was running from the cops. One of the cops pulled up in his car and then jumped out and pursued on foot. One the cop's dashboard cam we saw the criminal try to jump a wall, but his pants hindered his progress, so the cops caught him.

Too bad the video was on TV, and I don't know where to find it on the internet to show you.

 

I just love you more and more..

That's what I've heard.

To the poster talking about the youth fashon complaint, THAT's not what the world's coming to, it's the fascists trying to control something as personal as fashon that everyone's worrying about.

 

A friend of mine told me that her son and the rest of his team wore board shorts to swim meets 'cause speedo type briefs showed too much leg. I asked her if his team had won any matches lately. She said, "No, the board shorts slow them down in the water".

So kids think it's okay to drop trou from time to time, but won't swim in anything but board shorts?

Yeah, I remember the untied shoelace fad. One of my friends from school was into that. He kept telling everybody to get off his strings. (They ran a foot across the floor so it was kinda hard not to step on them).

 

To the poster?
