Pull up those saggy pants

[SANxJONERO]

It originated in prison, but has nothing to do with sex: snopes.com/risque/homosex/sagging.asp

Personally, I wear baggy pants, just because I never leave the house without my phone, keys, container of mints, wallet, and a rather large point and shoot camera in my pockets, and cargo pants are the only option with enough pocket space.

Sagging pants don’t bother me aesthetically, but sacrificing mobility for fashion seems silly.

That doesn’t mean that in some point in time in some prison that it wasn’t considered gay. How did this get into the streets? That’s something I would like to know, but we will probably never know. I think rappers helped influence it. Eazy-E came out with a music video in the late 80’s where he said he wore them like that for easy access & in the early 90’s when Death Row records videos came out, I noticed it started to become a lot more trendy.

I feel like giving out suspenders and/or belts, and say “Pull your dang pants up where they belong!”

and “they’re called underpants for a reason!”

I agree & RIP.
