[FireBG]

As a reformed pants sagger in my teens into my 20s, I now look at this as silly and rather uncomfortable. Thanks for the solid video!

[WalnutWarrior]

It's for the quick access for the homies

[disruptor]

As a black man in America, I find this trend insulting. Yet people in their 40's that think that this shit is cool.

[Phil-D]

In Lebanon, when young people whose parents are from there go back to visit, and they try to wear that, they get harassed by basically everyone. Call them a disgrace to their family, they get hit, etc. It is awesome

[ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

Sagging trousers only means one of two things.
1: You are a gangbanger.
2: You are a wannabe gangbanger.
Either way, sagging trousers absolutely do need to be banned.

[MGAC]

This isn't a "style." It's the clothing equivalent to vomiting on a dance floor.

[Jamoni]

Clothing is communication. Sagging is a way to say "I hate your values and will do stupid, probably violent things. "
Thanks for the heads up.

[charlesflint]

I like wear properly fitting either jeans or trousers.

[JeffWilkinson]

People can wear what they want, but some people, especially young people, don't realize that what you wear affects others' perception of you. If you dress like a thug, most people are going to assume you're a thug. It's that simple.

[frankm]

Sagging pants originated in poor communities where clothes are not easily affordable and little brother got hand me downs that were too large
from big brother. I'm 54 years old lived through it and saw it with my own eyes. And ever since it's become a fashion trend the sagginess has been grossly
over emphasized to the point that its disrespectful and disgusting to anyone who has the misfortune of having to see it.
If I want to see a baboon, I'll go to the zoo.

[Owledg]

love this guy a man with common sense and a good head on his shoulders been following for a while now cant wait to see whats next a lot of people in this space on YouTube are not bad but after a while you can see their content slowly dwindle in originality love the vids keep them coming +respect p.s im not scared to say just by listing to him speaking i can feel myself wanting to devoled a better speech pattern we need more creators out their like this sending -love my guy.

[Steve-mpby]

It started in the early 90's. The origin is homosexuals in prison

[bliglum]

My mother worked as a nurse throughout the 90's, 00's, retired in the 10's.. Much of that time as a prison nurse.
Confirmed on multiple occasions, over many years, that it was indeed a signal your rear end was open for business, so to speak..

It's nice to know this guy can call it a "myth" though. Even though he has exactly zero experience, evidence, or statistics to back up that statement. Instead merely postulating that it's due to some elastic nonsense...
What, do some guys get elastic, and some don't? Preposterous.. "Dispelling myths" by spreading them...

[Krilef]

1 Dangerous;
2 sloppy;
3 "i need more boolets".

(They changed the preview. 😅)

[stevepittman]

what people don’t realize is that sagging pants is a prison fashion meant to identify the “prison bitch “

[MelloDeeBeats]

OH BOY LMAO Never thought I'd see this video here. This will be fun lmao

[michaelblazin]

It is wrong to consider someone dangerous, but is it wrong to think that they are immature and likely not capable of what I would expect an adult male to do?

[dragosdiaconu]

It's simple, it says you like to do stuff with your back door!

[PremiumHipHopCollect]

This is good real Good I’ve been watching You for 5 years now maybe 6 years this is a real One ☝🏽 thanks for insight !

[TheTyrial]

There's a guy at work who from day one could not keep his pants from sagging. Every tome he bends over you can see everything. It set the stage on who he is as person, and how he works.

If you can't keep your pants up. You are most likely an inconsiderate human, who is selfish, and unable to work with. If you are overweight, buy a good pair of suspensers. Their more comfy anyways.
