Just at a service station and this urban gentleman was pumping gas next to me. He had his backside facing me and directly in my line of sight. What struck me was his pants were crazy low, with his belt sinched tightly below the pelvic bone. His pants were so low that the waste line of his pants were at or right above the bottom of his arse chreeeks.

Now look I’m not that old. I know each generation has its on sense of style and what not. But this style I don’t get and I’m genuinely currious about.

1) is it comfortable to have ones pants down below or at the end of ones butt cheeks; is this for comfort?

2) is it just a flippant way to say f you to society - that I just don’t care;

3) is it strictly for looks- as in you got some bad arse boxer briefs on and want everyone to see


I’m genuinely curious about this societal urban clothing option.

IB4: why do you care what another man wears;

IB4: racist

IB4: homo

People who say urban when they mean black are just stupid.

Also, welcome to like 30 years ago.

I won’t pretend to understand, but this is not a new trend. It was a thing when I was a kid, and I am old.

I realize this is a joke, but I’d love to hear the logic behind it.

I have wondered the same thing as the OP, to be honest. I think it is a legit question and I have no answer.

The funny thing now is skinny jeans are the style, but they still sag them. Skinny jeans hanging down past your arse looks even more comically ridiculous.

You've come to the right place for nuanced answers on sagging pants.

It's a way for gay men to show that they are sexually available.

You were supposed to say "hi" and frick him in the arse. Now everyone knows you're a homophobic, bigoted prick.

Of course it will never die off completely. But I don't think it's the in thing to do anymore. I feel like fitted ripped jeans are more in (Ex. Travis Scott).

I could be wrong.

The first time I saw this style in the 80's it was with what we'd call now skinny jeans.

“Urban” is a skin color?
