I remember when gangster rap came out, there was a trend called ’sagging.’ Basically, u let your jeans/pants ’sag’ below ur ass, showing off your underwear. It seemed like if you were a ’sagBro’, it meant that you were somehow affiliated with a ‘gang.’ For those of you who don’t know, ‘gangs’ were packs of minorities who banded together to brand themselves as ‘violent hoodlums’, and often got into disputes with other ‘gangs’ within their community. The wave of ‘gang violence’ inspired tons of films by ‘deep’ minority writers and directors, who wanted to present obvious/’progressive’ ideas about life in the poor part of town. Most of these movies ended with a ‘tragic death’ by a minority who ‘had potential’ but succumbed to the ‘disease of the streets’ since community members killed 1 another instead of helping 1 another.
N e ways… It seems like ’sagging’ might be a new trend that catches on, perhaps as a tribute to ‘the way things used to be.’
These minorities seem to be ‘trendy.’ Not sure if they are ‘authentic saggers’ or if they are part of the recent post-ironic sag revival.
This bro seems ‘innovative’ for finding a way to make his skinny jeans sag. Sagging seems to say ‘i don’t care about the form/function of the traditional pant technology.’
It seems important to have ‘nice underwear.’ A lot of saggers utilized Loony Tunes boxers, or Tommy Hilfiger branded boxers. Not sure if I would wear something as simple as Old Navy boxers. Might utilize Am Appy briefs.
I srsly hope that ’sagging’ is embraced by public school systems now that the gang-wave is over.
I am excited about this new era of sagging. I feel like it will give me an opportunity to rebrand my image without spending too much on new clothes. It might make me seem ‘more ethnic’/like I am in touch with minority trends, and possibly help me look like I have a ‘global perspective.’ Not sure how sagging started. Seems not very functional, but still sorta stylish.
Just worried that I will be sent home from school if the hall monitor catches me. :-(
Do u think that sagging is ‘back’?
Do u know if ‘gangs’/'gang violence’ still exist or do minorities just ‘play video games’ instead now?
This is a post about hoping that sagging catches on with keut females with ‘nice asses.’

sagging is a good way to let people in prison know that you want to ‘take one up the butt’

high waisted jeans are ‘relevant’ right now. sagging your skinnies was popular during xxscenexx days, and that’s anything but trendy now. too early to bring it back with irony.

Feel like sagging is a welcome alternative to my ’skyrocketing’ belt budget of recent years.

Yall, something troubling happened today. Saw a group of sorority gals on campus today wearing neon wayfarers that had “Go Greek” printed on the side. Think it might have to do with ‘rush week’ or something.
Feeling ’sad’/'confused’. Maybe even a lil ’scared’.
Think the ‘alt-apocalypse’ is ‘upon us’.

@veg-head bro, My biggest fear was that mainstream would take over alt culture. But alt culture has saturated mainstream making it mainstream. It happened in reverse. Didn’t see it coming. :*(

@veg-head bro, don’t worry; mainstreamers are just starting to think electro is ‘kewl’ now. saw a Subway commercial with a ‘banger’ for background music, see high schoolers with multicoloured Nikes all the time.
i think the mainstream is copying alt trends more than ever, but that only means alts have to be that much quicker in establishing new stuff. if anything, it’ll make us more resourceful and innovative. they’ll never catch up!!

You know why sometimes people make fun of the oldsters cuz their pants are too high?? Right under the belly button?? Cuz that’s where the “waist” the size tag refers to actually is on your body.. not your hip bones. Or mid-asscheek.They feel and fit really nice. Grampa did know a thing or two.

damn, hate saggers. I like the high waist jeans girls are wearing now.

My ex had sagging skinny jeans after losing his belt… it looked a wee bit strange. I don’t know if this is really a ‘trend’ (cept for the gangsta rap folks).
Reply
Saggy pants were pioneered in prisons because cons weren’t allowed to wear belts (fear of suicide or some such).
So if you want to be a real alt mofo, get yer ass arrested and jailed and wear high-ass granny/grandpa pants inside the big house.
Otherwise, you’re just a punk-ass bitch.

@Anita, what the shit utube comments are scary, some1 left this comment referring to the old dudes:
the chubby man with the hat is cute, so is the one sitting opposite of him wearing the kaki pants, but the one in the middle wearing a blue vest isn’t really that cute, only the one wearing a brown jacket is the best looking, and the one sitting opposite of him is ok, would love to try them both! AND I LOVE THIS COMMERICAL!! NO DOUBT
ewww no
This person either meant by ‘trying them both’ that they want to have sexual relations? or they want to fight for the ‘right over boxer shorts’?
