lordkrohn1626 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 For all the wannabe gangstas who think they look uber cool when they wear pants 3 times to big, and low sling them below their wagons, exposing their underwear covered behind; The background for this laughable "fashion" statement of the new generation is it started in west coast USA prisons. In prison, some inmates would wear their prison pants low, and tie their pants real tight, so as to uplift and expose their underwear covered behind. (think wonderbra effect for hind parts) This was done to advertise to other inmates that they were "available" for loving...to put it nicely. This was thought to visually stimulate the other inmates into finding them "attractive". Then some rap wannabe went and visited his brother in prison, saw the "style" and thought it was gangsta cool, wore it in a MTV rap video...voila...new fashion craze. The funniest thing to me, is not only do they not know they look foolish, but they are unknowingly promoting that they are of the ..um...alternative lifestlye choice. Not a single girl I have ever talked to, finds it cool or attractive, just dumb. So why do it? I love it when the suspect I am chasing is wearing baggy low slung pants, makes it sooooo much easier to catch his punk behind, and slam him on the ground, for some much need attention. So my questions to you are: Do you "bag"? if so why? If you are a girl, do you think baggy pants with the hiney showing is cool or attractive on a guy? if so why, if not why? opinions......? thoughts?.....

cocacolabottle Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I admit that I have a few times a few years ago, but I really didn't feel comfortable. It bothers me too though, you just can go skateboarding anymore without the wannabe-baggy-pants-wearing-goth-emo dudes running around all over the park. 99 Slayer since August 2007.

Lovelydude Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Dude, I roll. (Sig) We've been wearing baggy pants for as long as inmates, to increase leg mobility and decrease ankle restriction. I hate baggy pants. Edit: Not so much baggy pants, but of course the kneesters. Haha. I am quite guilty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 The funniest thing here is that the author was bought in by that bunch of crap. :lol: Wearing jeans like that doesn't have to be a statement. For me, it happens to be very, very comfortable. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He finds it remarkably comfortable, which is important for a man who comandeers a boat all day. Forty-three year old men know their pants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren211 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 baggy pants? my mother would have a heart attack. i go to a catholic school, so unfortunatly we have to tuck our shirts to avoid this underwear-revealing trend. of course, even if i had the choide i'd never wear such loose pants. i'm sexy the way i am :D [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers.

The_Dragon_Reborn Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I do admit that sometimes my pants expose some of my boxers, but never so far down that it seems 100% completely inappropriate. I actually saw some kid last week with his pants down so low, they were below his boxers, and you could almost see his knees. He felt "gangsta fly" nonetheless. :lol: If that is really how the evolution of the baggy pants came around, that's one of the Top 5 funniest things I've ever heard. ~~Let The Dragon ride again, on the winds of time~~I've always felt as if I'm the only person who can understand the concept of sarcasm on the internet.

Zonorhc Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Unlike those poor, misguided fools, I don't feel the need to overcompensate by wearing my pants ridiculously low. Instead, I went for the practical alternative and just had a third leg sewn onto my jeans.

1_man_army Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I thought it was because they're not allowed belts in prison (so nobody can hang themselves, strangle others or find a vein to shoot up). He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiriyama Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 It looks as stupid as hell, yeah part of my boxers show when I wear normal jeans (I'm scottish pants sound weird using em like that) yet nobody can see em as I tend to wear a Hearts football top which is large and is as long as I like em.

fat_hobbit22 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 no.1 you are obviously older than a teenager no.2 ild love to see what you wear no.3 it is more comfortable to wear slightly bagier pants. (not execivley baggy like bellow ur [wagon] though) i personally wear them inbetween, no below my [wagon] and no one can see my boxers -.- but i do not wear them tight, basically if i bend over ull see my boxers hangin out, and i tend not to run too quickly now a days :-$ but that being said, it is a fashion statment, and i find it more comfortable that way anyway, and i have spoken too mnay girls about it, they find it more attractive than tight pants, but dont like trousers hanging so low u can actually see there [wagon]. But then that is in my age group (15 - 18), i think youll find that it varies from age group \ what have we learned today? People have different views on fashion =D> arent we clever... just face it, i laugh at the way you dress, you laugh at the way i dress. Its a different culture and society, you cant change it, just go with which one you like Do you "bag"? if so why? If you are a girl, do you think baggy pants with the hiney showing is cool or attractive on a guy? if so why, if not why? partailly, its more comfortable and the fashion girls i know do like it.

Tigra00 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I was with Lovelydude...I used to wear mine really baggy when I skated. Just more comfy. If I had to choose between baggy pants and stupid tight semi-chick emo pants, I'd choose the former, because I'd rather look ridiculous than look like a homo.

Satenza Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Depends what im wearing, sometimes though for comfort. I couldn't care less if it started in prisons for people to let others know there avaliable. But really, who the hell cares. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon_7 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Who cares why people used to wear them that way? That's not the reason why they wear them that way now so it's irrelevant. Also, why do you care so much about the way that other men wear their pants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin_696 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I think the problem with your original post is that you're assuming that just because wearing trousers (yes, they are) like that had it's roots in homosexuality in prisons, it doesn't have to mean that that carries over to the style now. I know that's obvious, and probably wasn't your intention, but there are loads of examples of trends or styles which have their roots in something like that which don't carry over today. GAP springs to mind. I don't wear them round my ankles, or to expose my boxers, I do it just because wearing them slightly lower than exactly waist height is more comfortable.

knives669 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 If a guy wears their pants a bit baggy, that's fine with me. I'm certainly not attracted to the ones that have their whole [wagon] hanging out though. And I definitely wouldn't date a guy who wears emo girl pants. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deloriagod Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Chances are you'll probably be able to see some of my butt if you're walking behind me but I don't wear overly baggy pants. I always buy my pants a little big and throw on a belt just because I don't like my pants tight around my legs (and I absolutely can't stand them tight around my ankles.. Won't wear them if they come close to my ankles) so I just deal with the waste being a little big and every getting a glimse of my rear. Don't like it, quit looking at my butt.

Viktorkrum77 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I hate it, I wear belts and at the normal waist level. I hate baggy pants, t-shirts, anything. You won't catch me dead wearing a plain old t-shirt bt itself. I usually add overcoats, or wear two shirts where one acts as my sleeves. T-shirts by themselves (excluding tighter t-shirts) make me look fat, so I don't wear baggy clothes, or t-shirts by themselves at all. However there is one advantage to someone wearing them, it's easier to pants them. :P I'm so gay...lol. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
