There’s a campaign in Dallas to get people to pull their pants up. I heard the story on the way into work on NPR and while it’s kind of amusing to think that elected officials spend time thinking about fashion, this whole saggin’ thing has reached a point where there are people who don’t even bother wearing the requisite boxer shorts to show off. That’s right, you get a half moon view!Â
Now, saggin’ has been around for quite a long time, so it makes me wonder why try and change it now? Why not let the fashion trend run its course and die a natural death only to be resurrected by VH1 or E! 10 years from now for some kind of “Can U Believe We Wore THAT?” type of show.
Seriously, is this a danger to society?
Some say that saggin’ comes out of the U.S. prison population where male prisoners are not given belts to keep their pants up, so their pants sag down past their butt cracks. Okay, if that’s the case (and has been the case for who knows how long) why bother with with a dress code now? Oh yeah, I forgot: it was okay if baby showed her thong when it was also a stupid fashion thing, but if bro is showin’ ass…well, call the police!

If a “sagger” is a bad guy, then the police can catch him much easier. It’s hard to run and keep your pants up at the same time. What’s the difference in being mooned by a “sagger,” a plumber, or a fat guy on a Harley?
I was behind a woman yesterday who had her sweatpants too low…showing her tramp stamp and her crack, no sign of even a thong there. And I’ve got to say, not pretty. She was skinny, blonde, and looked like she had had a bit too much crack in the recent past. Blech.
I wonder if the super low waistlines are related to the saggin’ movement? I agree…let it die a natural death. Give them more attention, they’ll just keep it up. (Though, not literally….:P)
I don’t know what the big deal is about saggin’ pants. Often, I just point and laugh. They are the ones who will be looking like total idiots when they try to run and their pants fall down. That makes it even better because I get to laugh some more. 🙂
I think they look stupid, but that’s their problem. Most of the time it’s not even worth a look, so I don’t see the big to do.
Hell, the guy installing blinds at my old condo was smuggling a rodent with a perm in his butt crack, but I didn’t try to lobby for that to stop.
That look has totally gone from here. I’m not sure what the new urban trend is, but I haven’t seen droopy pants in forever.
This is the ugliest style ever. Can hardly wait until it is over and done with.
