<link>http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/08/no_more_baggy</link>
<description>A ban on this sort of thing? Today, the trend that offends is wearing baggy, drooping pants that ride around the thighs, the better to show off a young man’s taste in boxer shorts. And the grown-up who wants to stop it is Atlanta City Councilman C.T. Martin. “I don’t think women should have to see that. I don’t think young girls should have to see that. I don’t think children should have to see that,” Martin told TODAY’s Ann Curry during an interview Friday. The big question is this: Why has the baggy look lasted for so long (at...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Baggy pants have been around forever, but thugs didn't start pulling their pants down until the mid/late 90's. </p>

<p>I say let them wear their pants around their ankles if they want. Cops have pointed out that it's easier and kind of entertaining to chase down thugs who wear this fashion. </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Dumbest law suggestion ever for the dumbest fashion trend ever.</p>

<p>Like anything else "the kids" do.  If you tell them it's wrong they'll just want to do it more.  If they were smart the city councel would all start wearing their pants the same way then the kids would think it's dumb and move on to something else like two different colored socks or something.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm looking at it and I don't really see what the big deal is. Baggy hides the curves and shows off boxers that basically hide more than hot pants. you could see better 'man-ass' to paraphrase, if they wore normal jeans.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>While I wholeheartedly agree that uber-baggy pants are a crime against fashion, outlawing them would be the height of stupidity. That would only add to the rebel cred. </p>

<p>Now about the red hanky hanging out of his pocket...</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>The consensus is that it's "hot" and guys like it so.... it just figures in that it will go out of style for thugs as soon as gays claim it. Duh. I can't wait. That kid looks ridici-donkeylous. I'd rather see it on a gay guy. thugs are dumb.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Dress codes are xenophobic. Designed to keep a particular race or class of people out.  </p>

<p>Now to be clear on this picture.  </p>

<p>1) the only kids who sag that low and wear khakis (sp?) with a red bandana are Bloods.  Needless to say most kids that sag arent bloods so the pic is a little off.</p>

<p>2) sagging doesnt seem to be that low any more except for old school gang bangers. Unless in a gang, kids that dress in that baggy style dont wear khakis.</p>

<p>3) kids are wearing the long white t shirts with the big caps. The pants are not worn as low as shown in this pic.</p>

<p>The trend has changed, though still baggy, it is now more focused on the t shirt rather than the pants.  This is an image of a Blood. prolly a piru, who cares, but my point is that Charles is a little off here.  By showing an obvious lil banger, it creates an image for mainstream society that all kids who sag have that style. The style has changed quite a bit.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Sean, that's not what I meant. That's not sexy. The waistband of the jeans fastened well BELOW the crotch, like the boy in the picture -- that's what I want to see. Only on hot girls. And not in some skanky boom-boom club, either -- out on the street. Hmm, possibly splayed out on the hoods of parked cars. Oh, yeah.</p>]]></description>

I've always assumed that the dudes wearing saggy pants are most likely gang bangers, unaffiliated thugs, or thug wannabes. </p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Fnarf @16<br />
Well, another good place to spot thongs, not to mention cleavage and upskirts, is on the playgrounds. Moms are always bending over, crouching, crawling around, and otherwise contorting themselves as they fuss with their kids. </p>

<p>Not sure if the MILF/Cougar thing does it for you, but hey, I'm just trying to help.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Youre wrong Sean.  Sagging started with a thug flavor of kids wanting to look like inmates. sagging.  Funny enough the inmates who wear baggy clothes are the new fish who get all the clothes that's too big for them and have no belts.  True thugs in the joint are "styling.</p>

<p>Sagging than became fashion.  Hip hop fashion.  Gangstas and gangbangers ( like the blood in the pic) wear more obvious clothing.  </p>

<p>Thugs and dealers dont always sag.  </p>

<p>All I was saying was that kid is a blood.  And the style has changed.  Like I said, its more focused on the long t shirts now.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Ariel</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My favorite is when I see kids in my 'hood (Rainier Beach) wearing the huge sagging pants, the enormously long t-shirt that goes down to their knees, and then a merely oversized hooded sweatshirt that only goes down to their ass ... the end result being remarkably like little hippie girls wearing hoodies over a dress over jeans.</p>

<p>I repeat: LITTLE HIPPIE GIRLS! Surely not the intended idea, and totally unintentional hilarity.</p>

<p>I keep waiting for all these gangsta-wannabe RBHS kids to try to sell me hemp necklaces and phatty veggie burritos on the corner of Rainier and Henderson.</p>]]></description>
