Without wishing to sound too ancient and also trying to avoid a "young people these days etc etc" but can anyone explain the fashion statement being made by wearing one's trousers so low that one has difficulty on walking. Dress down day at work is amusing with all the young gents waddling in. One of my colleagues said to one of them "Hey Robbie, you look like you have a nappy on" and I asked one if he was going out to catch some fish at lunchtime. OK so it is the fashion but who the hell thought of it? What does it mean?
-
I don't get it either. I used to hang about with some "younger" people, who claimed it was more comfortable.
Can't see it myself. In my youth we were mortified if anyone saw our pants...
Mark.

A lot of young people dress like that around here too. It baffles me every time I see it, it really looks like they are struggling to walk but they still insist on wearing their trousers like that? That is one fashion I don't think I'll ever understand.
-
Yep, I'm in the same boat as you other "oldies", I just don't understand what the appeal is, I do not get it.... and how on earth do they stay up?!!
However, I look at it and think, well, no sweat, you do want you want boys... it just makes me look cooler in my "man's" trousers... :lol:
(OK yeah, mebbe I'm a bit delusional... but it works for me!)
-
Just pull them down and walk off. It pisses me off too.
-
Kids in ghettos used to wear hand-me-downs from their older brothers. Ofcourse those trousers were way too big. But at some point ghetto became cool and it became a fashion statement. Next someone got the idea they could show the brand name of their underwear this way.
It's a bit like the torn jeans in the eighties.
How the hell are you gonna stay out of jail wearing those thing? You can't run from the cops dressed like that.

Baggy trousers went out of fashion ages ago, I thought. It seems to be all about the ball-hugging tight ones at the minute.
-
I'm as baffled as everyone else. Sometimes people have them so low that the actual "bulbous bit" (to borrow a Roo expression) of their arse is hanging out of their trousers. Which, frankly, they should be arrested for. :x

But even those seem to be worn really low sometimes!
They seem to have actually started manufacturing jeans with a dropped waist and the pockets further down to make it look like you're wearing them low-slung.
-
My drummer and his mates are all bar-stewards for the 'tight jeans with arse hanging out' look. I wear fairly skinny jeans fair low but NEVER like that! It's just fashion atm and a lot of the most ridiculous ones are coming from the metal scene, particularly the kids who are into BMTH, Carnifex, Annotations of an Autopsy, Suicide Silence etc

Baffles me too, they say it's comfy but I would just feel awkward having that much of my arse out of my trousers. :?
Don't worry, it's not an "age" thing, it really baffles a lot of younger people too.
-
Torn jeans have gone out of fashion?!

Next they'll be saying flares are out of fashion too!

They annoy me too, well not annoy me, but if they want to display their low IQ then they're asking for a bashing or two.

You know what's really great?
They all come into music shops, you know, the whole band, with matching low trousers and flesh tunnels, plus a smattering of dreadful slam-death or death-core shirts.
Then they ask for a shot of whatever Jackson or Ibanez.
Then they sit on a stool and bare their arse to the world whilst playing djun-djun-djun-weee-djun-djun-weeee!
-
I guess "great" is a matter of opinion. :(

Should have asked them to leave, stating that "due to our anti-drug policies, you can't bring Crack into our establishment. Kindly leave." :lol:

There was a guy in my local Sainsburys with his slung low in this style. It does look very silly indeed. He did have a very nice looking girl with him though. I really don't understand why. He had the low slung jeans, a hooded top, hair pulled over his face, those stupid earlobe 'ear rings' (sorry if anyone on here has these) and a permanent vacant expression.
And yes, I believe they do manufacture them in that way (the jeans, not the kidz).

was the weeeeeeeeee, weeeeeee any good? or was it the sloppy I don't know how to mute my low E kind? with lack of knowledge of sweet spots?
scene kids are funny, lets justify the whole of our existence on the fashion trends of our music subculture, we ain't got herd mentality, honest!!!
-
The dumb motherf**kers can only usually communicate using "txtspk" ....
I'm off to re-read the Daily Mail and grumble about A level grades... :shock: :( :( :(
-
I've noticed that those who just pull their standard jeans down low usually end up with the bottoms dragging over the backs of their shoes which is sort of OK when it's good weather.....but recently when it was p***ing with rain the jeans act like blotting paper and they get saturated up to their knees :orcass: :orcass: :orcass:
-
OK - let's take this off at a tangent - what was your worst fashion statement 'when you were young'?
I'll start it off with silver Doc Marten boots - took my 6 hole DMs, can of silver spray paint and..... guess the decade!

And the torn bits at the bottom drag around like masses of seaweed!

Mid-'70s? Going for a Sweet/Slade/Suzi Quatro/Glitter Band look?
I never really attempted to follow fashion as such, but I was one of those late-'70s metal kids with a denim jacket with patches all over it. I spent a whole summer embroidering ( :oops: ) the cover picture of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow on the back.
I still have it and it looks extremely bloody good! Probably one of my greatest ever achievements, TBH.....
I also had a holey pair of jeans which I covered in patches of green and tan denim. And I had really long, lank hair. I like to think I looked like a young Jerry Cantrell (not that anyone had heard of him at that point).... but I was more like a miniature version of Neil from "The Young Ones".

Man, I can't believe nobody is speaking up for the simple pleasures of a sweet breeze blowing down your ass crack... come on!
-
Can anyone post a picture of these low hanging jeans? I'm having a bit of trouble understanding exactly how low they hang. I wear my jeans fairly low, but not at the middle or even under the buttocks as some kinds do. That most be a cold experience.

They don't low hang, just imagine your jeans are a bit big for you so you don't have to unbutton them to take them off, pull them down a bit so your underwear is showing and it's like around the crack of your ass (why am I even explaining this, it makes me sound weird..)
And since your ass is bigger than your waist (or sometimes not) it wouldn't fall any further and then you go into a guitar shop or just in general public and act like a $%&#ing rebellious tw@t who doesn't go home until next morning.
EDIT: Lol, I found this, just imagine the middle one is just in the middle of the 'buttocks':
EDIT: Some reason it won't pop up with img tags, so just follow the link:
EDIT: And since it has a shiteeee in it it adds another 'e' so take out the extra 'e' too :lol:

That's one gorgeous pic. Beats my "below the waist" sitting jeans by miles. Thanks Johnny. You've just made my Saturday morning :lol:
-

The mullet.
Ofcourse combined with a denim jacket with studs and a big Guns n' roses patch on the back, skinny black jeans, black T-shirt with a lumber jack shirt if it's cold, basketball shoes and a PLO shawl.

I dont think I have had any fashion disasters as I have never been remotely interested in fashion and cannot understand why fashion would be a reason enough to do anything. Having said all that, I once used to have a badge that I thought was funny, t'was in the shape of a biscuit and I used to wear it a lot.Embarrassing now because it is rather like telling the same joke over and over ( though that hasn't done some comedians any harm I suppose). I have had a few odd hairstyles various mullett phases in fact. Oh and I was one of those who wore a suit type jacket with jeans so that may qualify me- yeah I'll go with that.
-
I once wore a pair of chinos with a white shirt and brown waistcoat. That was pretty bad.

Just the first bit there was bad enough.... :P
OK, I'd somehow blanked it from my mind but I did have a mullet for several years.... it was pretty much exactly like this one.... unfortunately:

seriously though, I do love my old-school flares and its a tw@t trying to find them in fat bar-steward sizes.

Philly... Can you play the duelling banjos theme from deliverance? :?
-
Sadly not....
I only had the hair, not the facial (or body) fungus. Didn't have the pickup truck either. Or the oversized Colt Seavers mouth ornament.
But... there was a transcription of Dueling Banjos in Guitar World recently. I could try to learn it.
-
Phil
I am afraid just even THINKING about that image of you with a mullet like that...
"You ain't from around these parts, is yer boy?"
"But yer sure have a pretty mouth...."
-
"We don't take too kindly to strangers."
"Thur tuk ur jubs!"
Sorry. I couldn't resist.
-
That Philly were a good looking lad when he were younger, weren't he chaps? :lol:

I'm not quite sure what is going on in this one. Either he has a very long body or very short legs (or both). Those jeans are the lowest I've seen yet. Maybe he's got a midget up his shirt (or it has been photoshopped)
-
I used to sport a paisly hooded top, Manc bowl head and flares made by inserting large triangles of some other paisly material into the seems.
Still think it was better than trousers round the arse or (sorry Ian) Chinos and a wastcoat.
-
reminds me of something i read in the paper recently. some guy down these ways just got let out of the cells then tried to break into a car in the police station parking lot, got noticed, tried to do a runner, his pants fell down and tripped him up and he was taken back in after about 1 minute of freedom
one of the rare occasions that i actually lol'd from reading

There's a group on facebook called 'pull your f*cking trousers up' and according to some posts in there this fashion disaster came about from L.A gang members in prisons who had their belts conviscated. Their trousers would fall down with there y fronts hanging out. So all the silly sods who look up to these idiots would copy them. Then it went global. There's a lot of copying of this L.A gang stuff now, the hand shapes, the talk. I hate it.

It all originates from rent-boys in American ghettos - the low trousers meant that they were available for hire - which shows - all young people these days are fags :D
