Say brehs, how did sagging even catch on as a trend?

[OnlyOneBoss]

I mean think about it


What kinda man/men like seeing other brehs draws and booty to the point of imitating it?


What kinda life was dude living when he decided sagging brought him the social recognition he wanted?


I’m just saying man, brehs a lot of irrelevant shyt gay but a man walkin around with his ass out was cool enough to become a fashion staple

Isn't it an offshoot of jail culture? No belts in jail so pants sagged. Or at least that's what my dad told me when I was a kid, he could have been bullshytting to make me stop thinking it was cool.

You don’t wanna know

 

[KING WILL]

I don't know if sagging was cool.

I think baggy was cool, and sagging was just a by-product of being baggy.

 

[Controversy]

Sagging was the culture all throughout the 90s into the mid 2000s

I was a 36 waist and bought my jeans in size 42...it's just how we wore our clothes back then

Would I do that now? No

But that was the style back then and the 90s was the golden era of black culture

 

[Pseudonym]

You seriously don’t know?

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Well the urban myth is that it was a non Harlem way to flag down booty bandits on concrete island vacations.

No way to truly know.

A gentle sag is cool. That shyt with your whole ass out was never cool. Tying your belt to your thigh meats and showing off the pelvis was wild mango.

Anytime shyt happened and you watched someone have to pull their shyt up to run or do that duck run it was hilarious. Getting beat out ya pants in a fight cuz they was already half off or a person taking an L tripping on them was FML status.

There should be a limit

Kids copying rappers and street dudes. Fewer fathers in the home to IMMEDIATELY check that style of dressing, and spiraled since the 90s.

When the hiphop fashion labels exploded in the 90s......dudes were sagging to show off the top band of underwear they had on.

Was tacky then, it's tacky now.

 

[Vandelay]

I don't know why the shyt was appealing lol...one of the dumbest fashion trends. I heard it started from jail shyt...but I think it caught fire because it was indicative of the culture/energy of the 90's.

Saggying is bush league nonsense, grown men pull up their pants and dont expose theirselves

 

[Buckeye Fever]

"nikkaz" want that ass played wit on the low.

One of the dudes from the hood that just got released after 20 yrs let it be known how he get down when he see a dude saggin':

"If I see them Ethikas, I'ma put this dikk in ya"

Prison culture brought to the public

It also was meant as easy access

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Prison was part of it but it also had a lot to do with the anti establishment nature of hip hop. But it’s not like folks was letting they drawers who. There was an unwritten rule in the 90s that your shirt needed to be large enough that it hung past your back pockets

Pops is right. Couple of my uncles who did serious time said so as well

Pops and Uncles would g-check me if I even tried that shyt around them too. Only sagged a little when I got to school

DL dudes going in and out of prisons aka "real nikkas"
