Hello everybody.
I am here today to see what everybody thinks of this weird, yet widespread fad.
I am, of course, talking about sagging.
And yes, this this is a rant against it.
What is sagging you ask?
This, is sagging:

Now a little history behind sagging:
Lee D. Baker, Dean of Academic Affairs at Duke University, states that it is widely believed that sagging was adopted from the United States prison system where belts are prohibited. Belts are sometimes prohibited to keep prisoners from using them as weapons or in committing suicide by hanging themselves. The style was later popularized by hip-hop artists in the 1990s. It has since become a symbol of freedom and cultural awareness among many youths or a symbol of their rejection of the values of mainstream society.

Okay, moving on.
A little about me. I am from the Southern part of the US, Louisiana to be precise.
I can't walk down the street without seeing people (mainly those of the African-American race) with their asses hanging out of their pants like they just suddenly lost a large amount of weight and need way smaller clothing.
Sometimes, I feel really old. Ranting about kids these days, and whatnot.
So Facepunch, what are your thoughts on this fashion "style"?
It's
not thread worthy

and it's also a pretty terrible movement
Nobody here's going to come out and support it lol. It's retarded, but apparently certain girls think it's hot.
All saggers should enlist.
-brokenpunch-
up here in baltimore at least, ~extreme~ sagging is on a decline.
I feel like its just thinly veiled racism against african americans.
I don't mind seeing that I live in NYC.
Live and Let Live.
Last time I remember sagging being cool was late 90s, I don't see it anymore.
Sagging is really not as prevalent as it used to be. Not really thread-worthy.
Expected breasts, disappointed.
90% of dudes in my school do this.
it makes them look retarded.
Dumbest fucking fad ever.
I thought this died out like 5 years ago?
I think it's idiotic, and you look like an douchebag for doing it. Belts were invented for a reason, and nobody wants to see your underwear clad arse.
It isn't that big of a deal. It makes people look trashy most of the time, but they aren't really hurting anybody by doing it.
You want to know why it exist.
Black people have bigger asses, thus if you sag, don't have to fit your ass in your jeans. Srs.

No one's going to come out and support free expression. Alright.
I "sag" my pants, as in, I wear them, and even with a tight belt they slip off my waist and hang a little lower. This is fine.
What the guy above me said basically. There's a difference in sagging and wearing jeans.
Why does it matter at all
When i saw sagging i imediately though of a 80 year old gradmother.
Anyway, shit like this is fucking stupid, i don't wanna see your stanky arse.
Sagging provides a shock absorber from a vertical "down-to-up" force to the groin at the cost of looking stupid.
I think it's ridiculous, even more ridiculous when they're actually wearing a belt as well.
I don't wear my pants below my ass, but it definitely don't wear them at my navel either.

what are you a grandpa?
I don't sag my pants like most people see but I have them below my navel of course. You may see my underwear if my shirt is tight and bend over but other than that you probably won't see it.
hey guys did you know that male prostitutes in jail have their pants low for easy butt access, and people saw this and thought it was cool?
if you 'sag' your pants, that means YOU ARE A GAY WHORE! AHAhahahaha!
at my school if your caught sagging you have to call your parents to bring a belt and if it is a repeat offender you get suspended. the people who do it look like retards when they have their hand on their crotch 24/7 just to hold their pants from falling around their ankles
I thouht people did it to show off designer underwear?
People who sag obviously want to live in a third world country, so we should send them to a third world country.

I wouldn't mind having a separate department of interior security devoted to that and making them pay for the trip, if they can't pay they have to pay taxes to the U.S. until they've paid off the trip's costs plus interest.
who gives a fuck
edit: its peoples own choice, if they like that style then why judge?
Sagging in banned in our school.
Hurrah!
