All these comments sound good and well researched and all but i'm a tell you the truth of were sagging pants really originated from.Pants sagging really originated from drug dealers standing on the corner. you use to pull your pants down just a little so the top of your ass will be accessible for stashing your drugs.and everybody knew that your ass was the last place a police officer would search. for more info on true origins of stuff like this e-mail me at chrisjohnson210@aol.com

i was so interested in learning more about why older men sag, but after reading this i realize 1 thing. everybody who commented on this page should ask themselves: what did our heavenly father say about our outerwear? its actually stated in genesis, he commanded that his followers cover their private areas. back in ancient times when men still wore "dresses", way before jesus, he commanded them to wear their "dresses" down to thier ankles to cover their private parts. private parts, breast, reproductive organs, and buttocks. now, according to that, who do you represent, who do you follow…… your creator, or, the fad of world, of which this fad clearly is one not supported by the man above.

most people who sag are actually ignorant trend-followers with no ability to generate an original idea of their own. i work in urban schools. they say we "can't make" them learn, or pull up their pants, either. true, we can't. i read the reuters article. maybe for one designer it's political statement and expression of his feelings of being treated unfairly. for most of the people doing it it's because they are a bunch of lemmings. homophobic lemmings, too, so i don't think it's a gay thing, even if that was the origin. in fact most gay people i know take more pride in themselves or have self-respect, which in dress, language, education level, aspiring to any kind of future, getting a job, etc., the hip-hop wannabe clones who sag are very sorely lacking.

dress how you like, just don't demand that i respect you when you so blatantly disrespect your own self.

I feel only god can judge and woman nor man can say what some one else should wear or how to act. Who said that you was important enough to comment on how society should dress. saggin is fashion, its urban its not gay its not what you lame people call hip hop orintated it's jus a way to wear your jeans.

You also do not care about your grammar… You don't care to use capital letters, periods, or proper spelling. Butt has two "t"s. Your "but" is a part of speech known as a conjunction. It is not a noun. A noun is a person, place, or thing. When you choose not to follow the precedents set forth by the language you are attempting to use, I don't feel like I should have to listen to what you have to say. Get an education if you want to be heard. Feel free to skate as much as you want, but don't try to weigh in on a conversation trying to make a point.

Rule number one – If you want to sound intelligent, be heard, and get some respect from people, you really need to sound educated. Typing in all caps does not make you cool; it makes you look like a 13 year-old sending a text message. Also, to the ignorant writer that says, "Sagging is gay", you need a vocabulary lesson. Anal sex with another man is a gay behavior. Wearing your pants a certain way is not a gay behavior. I'm sure there are plenty of young people in this country that sag that are not gay. Some of them are so homophobic they might commit a hate crime against a gay person before they would let someone call them gay. Saying something is gay shows ignorance and immaturity. This work is gay. That sign is gay. I can't believe how gay your car is. You are not only using a word inappropriately, but also showing how uneducated you are by not having or using words that mean what you are trying to say. Perhaps I could call a piece of paper retarded. How can a piece of paper have a mental handicap? It cannot. Nor can a style of clothing have a gender preference.
How you wear your clothes is a choice, but with any choice comes consequences. The typical stereotype with people that sag is that they fall into one or more of the following groups: uneducated, poor, lazy, rebellious, "thuggish", hip hop, pothead, skater. If you are okay with a person's first impression of you falling into one of those categories, then make that choice. Perhaps you say, "Hey, I don't care what that closed-minded $#*@! thinks about me… I wear my pants where I want." Okay. Fine. But don't complain to me and expect to be treated like everyone else when you so obviously want to make the statement that you are not willing to conform and look like everyone else. Why should you be treated as part of the crowd if you are not willing to look like a part of it? Would you treat someone wearing a shirt stating, "I hate (fill in your ethnic group) people" like you would everyone else? That was their clothing choice. Make yours, but be willing to face the consequences.

Gay is not a synonym for stupid.

In my opinion, sagging looks stupid.

Just posting a personal opinion about sagging pants — not really crazy about them no matter what their origin. A guy with pants so loose they have to hold them up with one hand — too silly to be considered cool but it does generate a nice chuckle. Boxers with the same patterns our Grandfather and Dads wear – check out the pictures above – not going there. On the other hand – a guy in a pair of jeans riding just above his hips, faded and naturally worn on the top and back of the thighs and fitting tight enough to where no underwear shows but not so tight you can see outlines (does he or doesn't he?) … whew, for most women that's just a mysterious gift begging to be unwrapped.
