Sagging pants originated in state prisons. An inmate would wear his pants low in order to let other inmates know that he was "available." Perhaps if more young men knew this, especailly the ballplayers and rap artists who set the trends, they wouldn't be so quick to jump on the bandwagon of this latest fashion craze. Nowadays, young men wear sagging pants and oversized shirts in order to hide weapons like knives or guns or are they trying to tell us something else? hahahahahahahahah

What's wrong with having my pants around my ankles all the time?

nope but nice try, saggin came from poor black families that couldn't afford to buy new clothes all the time, so the oldest or biggest boy got the new clothes and the rest were hand me downs to the younger kids. Often times the hand me downs were to big and therefore sagged. I don't think you have to let anyone know you're available in prison, quite frankly I don't think the big ass mofo that's about to penetrate you gives a shit if your available or not.

I heard it differently, i heard if your sagging in jail it means your taken not available, your pimp requires you to sag. I heard it from someone i consider has experience in this and knows what hes talking about. I think sagging is dumb.

So from your statement above and using the logic from it. If a person is saggin, they're either gay or carrying a weapon. Now using that same logic, lets apply it to a different era.
"Sex, drugs, and rock & roll may explain why men from the 60's and 70's wore pants fitted for today's average 15-year-old girl". http://www.askmen.com/fashion/fashiontip/tip13.html
So based on both of these statesment, men can't sag because they might be carring a weapon or gay nor can they wear tight pants because they're all about drugs, sex and rock & roll. (depending on what era you're in)
I get your point and I share it with you but you went the wrong way to prove it. If you don't like people saggin. Tell the next person you see sagin to pull them up. I don't sag nor do I wear my pants tight, but I do have room to let them hang. you understand?

Props to jdub for going to the source!
Good looking out.
This part seems to apply here: "The most intriguing aspect of the "trolling for gay sex" rumor lies not in its veracity, but in its acceptance as gospel by those who encounter it and who are then moved to pass it along to others ... its spread is attributable to the prevailing dislike of the fashion."

Some people don't like to wear tight clothing.
Those people who wear their shirts 2 sizes too small look just as dumb as the ones wearing shirts 2-3 sizes big.

cummins your a trip.....I know for me saggin began the way 1320 said. I got big ass hand me downs so I had to sag. Now looking back I am glad I did. No pictures around of me wear nut huggers like they did in the 70's.. I was cool before my time. Now I sport a "fashionable sag". I be damn if I wear nut huggers or some gay ass wranglers.

A fashion style that wont go away. Funny watching these kids run around. Holding up their pants with one hand. Early 80's was the 501's with sweatpants pulled over the top or Adidas Sweat suits. Pumas with neon checkerboard fat laces. [ February 14, 2008, 09:10 AM: Message edited by: sharkattack ]
