What is the absolute dorkiest fashion trend in the entire history of mankind?
Thursday, July 17th, 2008monkey asked:
I think history will prove that it is “sagging” (AKA “housing”). Sagging is a fad that is considered passé by teens now. It reached its peak around 2003. Sagging is wearing trousers, shorts, or jeans below the waist, hanging around the butt area, with the underwear showing. Practiced mostly by young urban males. Closely associated with rap music and gang culture, and has its origins in the prohibition of belts among prison inmates. Also common among skateboarders (or punk fashion style). Initially worn by Southern California gang members, it became a national phenomenon when gangsta rap artists from LA became popular in the early 90s.
