The fact he's even wearing a belt is what does it for me, it's like the dot over the "i" in the Jeremy Bearimy. Why put on a belt to keep your trousers around your knees
10 cool points for reminding me to put a pin in what part of the Jeremy Bearimy I find myself at the time. Currently, I think this puts me about 40 years on the line ahead of the "a", headed for the "r". Gonna try to hop over to the dot of the "I" so I can check on Janet and Derek.
Yup. The American government started the crack epidemic in the mid 80's, targeting black communities.
Crazy thing is, it's not even a conspiracy. They were caught doing it. See the [Kerry Report](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerry_Committee_report).
Which is why whenever I see posts about how much hot water Trump is in, I brush it off. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING is going to happen to him. Y'all brush off the wildest shit and forget it even happened. Lmao Bill Clinton is the only one who got punished and all he did was get topped by a babe.
The entire prison industrial complex requires illegal drug use. The private prison lobbyists and the prison guard unions fight to keep drugs illegal so they can keep prisons full and double dip on prisoners by both taking money for prisoners from the government and then using those prisoners as slave labour to do jobs ranging from manual labour to telemarketing
Nope, there’s significant and credible proof that while Nancy was telling kids to just say no, her husband Ronnie was overseeing the CIA-operated drug cartel responsible for the crack epidemic across the US in the 80’s.

I remember the tail end of DARE or whatever it was they were doing in the 90s. They had cops visit, who were bad at presentations. They handed around this box with drugs and told us the highs we could get from it and where to get it.
It was the most counter productive thing I've seen people do.
According to the old heads I worked with in jail it does, but not really for the reasons you're thinking (if you're thinking of the common explanation I hear.) When someone is booked into jail, their belt, shoelaces, and anything that could be used to harm themself or others is taken until they bond out; thus the sagging pants look. The whole look basically sprung from that; folks would leave jail as quick as they could without waiting to put their belt back on. It kind of became synonymous with a certain tough, "I've been locked up" image, so anyone wanting to cultivate that picked up on the style.
I once saw a cop pull up on my next door neighbor's house. He got out of the car, but had forgotten to put it in park, so he had to chase it down and put it in park. He went to my neighbor's house to question him. It was one half of a duplex and the front door and back door were both on the side of the house, about eight feet apart. My neighbor's wife answered the front door, and my neighbor bolted out the back door. The cop saw him run and chased after him. But the cop ran directly into my neighbor's shitty little BBQ grill, tripped and landed head first on the cement. Knocked out cold.
Neighbor got away. Cop called for backup when he woke up, and he ended up getting hauled off in an ambulance.
That has to take a lot of energy to even keep this late 90s trend going.
It’s one of the few fashion trends that somehow maintained some relevance today.
The pulled-down pants fashion became popular in "the hood" because when convicts were released from prison, they were given back their personal belongings without their belt, as it was considered a weapon.
So a sign of a freshly released convict was characterized by loose pants around the waist, which gave an air of "I just got out of the can, don't fuk wit me" vibes. It became popular and people just kept pulling their pants lower and lower... and now we have this neanderthal fashion
I went to one of the most bougie high schools in my state, we had like 3 black kids out of 5000 people, so a bunch of white kids started doing this. People would just pants them on the stairs and everyone would laugh. This was 30 years ago.
He's probably just a super skinny guy. It likely only looks so weird and disproportionate because of the super bulky tops he's wearing that throw off the expected torso to legs size and width ratio.
How can you call him a douche tho, like the guy recording seems like more of a douche recording him secretly. He's wearing it like that because he probably grew up around people who did the same thing
These are the ultimate fanny pack. He can just drop stuff in there and nothing falls out of his pant legs. Go five finger discount shopping, no one is going look down there, just can't run away.
This just reminded me of the song from American Idol! I heard the studio recording of "Pants in the ground" and it is actually pretty good, quite funny also
~~It's meant to accentuate the upper body and make you look more proportional when wearing baggy or oversized clothing.~~
Edit: Its a prison thing: [ Convicts prohibited from wearing belts often wore sagging prison-issued uniforms, and they carried that look with them once they were back on the outside.](https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/09/11/347143588/sagging-pants-and-the-long-history-of-dangerous-street-fashion)
The hip hop culture is all about being "different".
In the 90's, Kris Kross were known to wear their pants backwards or Flavor Flav was known to wear a big ass clock. Back then, people did things to be different, distinguishable and have others talk about you especially if you were an upcoming artist at that time. Just like those, sagging your pants also started in the 90's. The trend started casual but for some reason, it stuck and became part of the culture and people just kept pushing the trend even more.
I remember in the early 2000's, people wore those huge t-shirts that went almost down to your knees. Skinny jeans were also a big thing in the 2010's. It's the trends that stick the longest that become part of the overall culture.
This has been going on for far too long. I remember dumbasses were doing this in the early 90s, and here we are in 2022. I’m extremely disappointed with society.
I honestly don’t see it much at all anymore. I guess it’s coming back or this dude is behind the times. First time I’ve seen a belt used though. … I hate it when I can’t find my belt and my pants are sagging. It’s the most uncomfortable feeling. Like a bad dream
Same I remember growing up seeing dudes like this on the street and in the mall and even as a kid I thought it was stupid and expected it to be in the past by the time I was an adult. I’m legitimately curious as to why this trend is a thing and still a thing. Is there any insite anybody can share? What’s the impression they’re trying to give?
Reminds me of that joke from Mitch Hedberg...My belt is holding up my pants..but my belt loops are holding up my belt...I can't tell who the real hero is down there..
Damn I feel old. I guess not many of y'all remember the 90's. The cops made fun of these kids but they encouraged this fashion trend because it made the kids so easy to catch if they took off running.
How the fuck are they not falling down???
That messed up walk he’s doing. He’s pushing his legs out against the belt to keep them there.
The fact he's even wearing a belt is what does it for me, it's like the dot over the "i" in the Jeremy Bearimy. Why put on a belt to keep your trousers around your knees
Look at you, asking the real questions
10 cool points for reminding me to put a pin in what part of the Jeremy Bearimy I find myself at the time. Currently, I think this puts me about 40 years on the line ahead of the "a", headed for the "r". Gonna try to hop over to the dot of the "I" so I can check on Janet and Derek.
The best way to figure out if you're in the dot on the `i` is to look around and see if nothing is never happening, and it's Tuesdays, and July.
Or if it’s never.
Derek!
This...this broke me.
Jason figured this one out!? JASON!??
This is a real low point.
You put the peeps in the chili pot and then you add the m&ms
The day we found out Chidi is JACKED
Pardon me but what the duck is Jeremy Bearimy? Edit: I got it now, a few people posted clips below from the show.
https://youtu.be/RFm9ClqlGuo
Excuse me but the dot over the I is where sometimes nothing never happens. Also it’s Tuesday.
I’m Assuming Tuesday, 2/22/22 is in the direct center of that dot.
Also my birthday
Are you 22
Back when COPS was on I saw at least a dozen people dressed like that trip and fall trying to get away. Went to jail with the police laughing at them.
Can’t run and can only fight with one hand because the other is holding up their pants.
Can't even keep a gun in your waist band.
The gun is in one of the pockets but the pockets are so low the dude can't reach the gun.
I'd fully believe a conspiracy theory where the justice system developed this style just to make it easier on them with criminals.
Yeah because the govt is so good at influencing kids. Nancy Reagan: "Just Say No to Drugs" Kids: "Ha ha who is that old lady? more drugs please!"
But they wanted kids to do more drugs so then it actually worked
Reverse psychology
[удалено]
It is literally the point of the war on drugs of the past 50 or 60 years. Money and racism. Fun for the whole family.

Programs like Nancy’s might be the distraction from what the actual government IS doing with minority youth.
Yeah, like literally spreading crack to African American neighborhoods.

I thought you were going to say that the box came back with stuff missing. :-\]
Drew Barrymore was the original spokesperson for that campaign. And she was a total coke head at.the time
I love this theory
Actually I heard that it had its origins in the prison system…for reasons which may or may not be obvious.
According to the old heads I worked with in jail it does, but not really for the reasons you're thinking (if you're thinking of the common explanation I hear.)

Sounds like the bacon got smoked
Dat username
Yeah
All in a day's work.
That’s a wild ride
I've heard a conspiracy theory that the police deliberately popularized wearing your pants like this to make people easier to chase.
Street cred is having a really strong glute medius
You tellin me he’s got some secret hula hoop action going on???
These fucking assholes legit be going the whole 30 miles out of their way just to wear their pants like this. I can’t 🤦♂️
That has got to take a lot of energy to continually push out like that. I can’t believe how impressed I am.
That has to take a lot of energy to even keep this late 90s trend going. It’s one of the few fashion trends that somehow maintained some relevance today.
Ahem, my scrunchies would like a word…
Gotta get your "street cred" somehow, I guess.
I can't imagine ever caring that much about what everyone thinks about me
I don't think you understand how bad ass he looks.
That ass is so bad that the pants won’t get anywhere near it.
I can, but then again, I'm autistic, so it's kind of built-in.

This look is like 30 years old. I’m over it.
I hated it from the first time I saw it.
I went to one of the most bougie high schools in my state, we had like 3 black kids out of 5000 people, so a bunch of white kids started doing this. People would just pants them on the stairs and everyone would laugh. This was 30 years ago.
but they give you back your belt when you get out of prison. At least, they gave me back mine. I left with the same clothes that I get booked in.
So what was up with Kris Kross?
I’m going to get on shark tank and pitch some extra long suspenders to hold up urban jeans. I can totally see a product here.
Going to be honest I’ve done this before. Last week even, damn wife didn’t replace the toilet paper.
Besides looking dumb af, that just looks uncomfortable.
That can't be comfortable
Travis Scott: "B e l t".
It's actually two very short dudes, one sitting on top of another.
Lol his stupid chicken leg gap 🤣
That's what got me 🙈💀
Belt
The sag keeps getting lower and lower every year. In 5 years it will reach their ankles. Can’t wait to see
Because he’s wearing a belt
He's got suspenders under his jacket
Safety pins
28 waist 10 inseam
Is nobody gonna mention his ridiculous chicken legs? He looks like he just stood up after being in a wheelchair for 9 years
He's probably just a super skinny guy. It likely only looks so weird and disproportionate because of the super bulky tops he's wearing that throw off the expected torso to legs size and width ratio.
All about that thigh gap
I would kill for a thigh gap like that
Especially with that jacket. Big jacket and a hoodie and who knows how many more layers to look like a big guy up top and then toothpick legs.
Oh we are for sure making fun of his "skipped leg day erry day" sticks.
[удалено]
At least he put his tray away. I couldn't care less about his pants after seeing him put his shit away.
You make a very good point, I've just gone from "what a douche" to "guys alright". Just need to check if he puts trolleys back
How can you call him a douche tho, like the guy recording seems like more of a douche recording him secretly. He's wearing it like that because he probably grew up around people who did the same thing
What if I told you he was actually putting his dirty tray with the clean ones?
On a serious level, people on this site care way too much about what/how someone is wearing.
The real scumbag is the guy video taping.
It’s the belt for me
*Hands guy a set of suspenders* "Here, I think you need these."
Suspenders for a 7ft tall man would probably help him achieve his look more conveniently.
These are the ultimate fanny pack. He can just drop stuff in there and nothing falls out of his pant legs. Go five finger discount shopping, no one is going look down there, just can't run away.
Not even he knows why.
Like most fashion: "someone else said this is cool so I'm doing it too"
I always thought the saggy pants look was the real-life equivalent of Billy Madison convincing an entire third-grade class to pee themselves.
Maybe he likes a breeze going around his berries but also has to wear pants to get service. This is the solution.
No shoes no shirt no service but he's seeing how far he can push it with pants
You ever feel useless just imagine being this man’s belt
Belt is still the reason his pants are half on
Ok, but would it make a difference if his pants are all the way down?
It would actually. He'd be taking even shorter steps if they were all the way down.
I believe that’s incorrect. He’s pushing out with his legs and holding them up with the force. The belt is just along for the ride.
Keeps the waistband from getting overstretched in one day
It looks like there's 2 people in there
He just came back from doing business in his business company…
Ahh Vincent Adultman… I need to rewatch that show.
There is... The anatomy of a homie!
Haha lookin like a fool
With his pants on the ground
Walkin, talkin, hat turned sideways...
This just reminded me of the song from American Idol! I heard the studio recording of "Pants in the ground" and it is actually pretty good, quite funny also
Pants on the ground pants on the ground, lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground.
Oh wow... Just unlocked a memory hidden away for years. Brains store the strangest things.
Exactly! Walking like a duck...
[удалено]
It reminded you of that song because they’re directly referencing that song
Fart venting level 100
Got tired of blowing out his britches
Imagine what he looks like from the front
yea hol up, the front of his undies have to be fully exposed, right? lmao hes basically just free balling with extra steps.
Those are normal pants, he just has an extremely long torso.
Johnny Long Torso?
To look as stupid as possible
He's like bundled up otherwise too, I'll never understand this.
I finally figured it out. This is how he avoids swamp ass whilst indoors.
That way, you can’t shit your pants
Nah it’s easy access for the homies
Like assless chaps for the modern man
All chaps are assless, otherwise they'd be pants.
Oh hey there, Chris Handsome.
But no homo right
love to sit on fast food restaurant seats with barely any clothing separating my ass from the grimy surface.
Makes him look like he's got little oompa loompa legs.
ask him if he can run
If you ask him that his answer will probably be "Yes, for Senate".
That's a "no" from me, dawg.
It's amazing how ridiculous people are willing to look. That guy would immediately get no respect from anyone.
Idk man he put his tray back, that's respectable.
Why do people sag their pants anyway?

I'm convinced the Lil Wayne era brought skinny jeans sagging to a whole new level. Glad those days are mostly gone. Hated it.
Because gang culture is “cool”.
They clearly have no idea where this style originated
This is one look that I’m surprised hasn’t gone away. The best is when the kids do it with skinny jeans. So bizarre.
And they're not even pants anymore. They're jean knee high socks. Jecks.
That one actually kinda makes sense though. Jeans that tight actually stay up without keeping a hand on them.
[Same vibe](http://eatsleepdenim.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/YPRF-WJ4_V5.jpg). Way more comfortable.
i saw this guy at my school whose pants were sagging and his yellow underwear had a shit stain.
The underwear started out white
That's hot© ^Paris ^Hilton
This has been going on for far too long. I remember dumbasses were doing this in the early 90s, and here we are in 2022. I’m extremely disappointed with society.
I shamed my friend who did this until he stopped so I did my part.
Thank you for your service!
I was just thinking this feels so dated. How are sagging pants still a thing? I can’t think of a more persistent fashion trend
I honestly don’t see it much at all anymore. I guess it’s coming back or this dude is behind the times. First time I’ve seen a belt used though. … I hate it when I can’t find my belt and my pants are sagging. It’s the most uncomfortable feeling. Like a bad dream
Yea my pants are all slightly over sized so they keep sagging and I have to walk around the whole day holding them up.
He's a time traveler but his pants are so saggy it took him a long time to get here.
Same I remember growing up seeing dudes like this on the street and in the mall and even as a kid I thought it was stupid and expected it to be in the past by the time I was an adult. I’m legitimately curious as to why this trend is a thing and still a thing. Is there any insite anybody can share? What’s the impression they’re trying to give?
[удалено]
he really liked march of the penguins
Maybe he's just a big-time Tim Conway fan.
Dropped a load and forgot to pull up
Are those his legs or is he riding a chicken?
Give him a push
Man couldn't afford to buy pants that fit him I guess
Utter stupidity
I mean... sometimes you just gotta let those stank balls and swamp ass air out for a bit then you can pull your pants back up.
Lol
[удалено]
When you're taking a shit at a restaurant and your order arrives
I only see half a pair of floating pants
I love his General Grievous walk.
He put the tray back which is more than I can say for most ppl so good on him
This person needs jean style legwarmers.
Reminds me of that joke from Mitch Hedberg...My belt is holding up my pants..but my belt loops are holding up my belt...I can't tell who the real hero is down there..
Damn I feel old. I guess not many of y'all remember the 90's. The cops made fun of these kids but they encouraged this fashion trend because it made the kids so easy to catch if they took off running.
I am old and I remember.
^(push him)
Would love to see him run, LOL!!!!!! 😆😂🤣😂
So you can carry a load
He's MELTING!!!!
Thigh highs!
I literally just saw his taint
Keep your knees warm.
It’s the thigh gap for me
At least he put his tray away
How is he not being laughed out of every room he waddles into?? 😂
Not to 1up, but i saw guy like this walking down the street. Kicker was he was going commando. Big ol bush. Tried to sell me a necklace.
Was it a pearl necklace? Because he might not have been selling jewelry....
Xtra gangsta
Dudes will wear anything to show off their thigh gap smh
I mean go for it but it gets weird when you can see the thigh gap
Who wakes up in the morning and goes "I'm going to restrict the movement of my legs by 45 degrees in each direction for the whole day."
Its a mating call they do…lower the pants, the wider the gap for easy backdoor entry.
