The prison origin has been overblown for obvious reasons

Sagging/baggy clothes has a few overlapping origins. One of the most consistent is the prevalence of hand me down clothes in poorer neighborhoods

When your brother outgrows his jeans they naturally get passed down to you, and it's going to be annoying trying to hold the shyts up all day

Add this with black people's lemons into lemonade attitude, and what once was a method of recycling has now become a default "cool" thing to do

What's :mindblown: about this trend is that it refuses to die off :dahell: I see Gen Z dudes sagging when I'm out and about.


Is this the only trend from the 90s still relevant in 2024?
I don't see a lot of dudes my generation (Gen Z) sagging my area though

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.

Goes back to 1991 and Eazy E convincing the whole country to be "real nikkas" and being in jail was a way to get street cred.

People always said it originally came from prison. Is that true? Don't know and I'm not going to prison to find out.

It's crazy how they can still manage to sag with extra tight nuthugger size pants on too :mindblown:

Yall really let them old nikkas who hated sagging do a number on you:scust:?

I knew that whole prison origin story was some nonsense they made up to get us to stop sagging and sound deep. But sounds like it worked on some of yall:mjlol:

How dare you come in here and downplay the prevelance of sagging and the statement that it made in its time.

The collared shirts, gold chain and pinky ring,jeans starched with a crease sharp enough to slice through butter,gentle sag,cuffed at the bottom with the air maxes:wow:

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.
:ehh:
Doesn't have shyt to do with lack of belts. I heard that growing up too, though.
