Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for February 10, 2012

I certainly don’t.

I once watched a high school kid try to run across a street in those low riding baggy pants, Funniest thing I’d seen in a long time.

Maybe if you axe him nicely…

Hey, you, fartbot! no one cares what happened in the 2010’s! Get an artificial life!"

There seems to be a symbiotic relationship between how much a style bugs adults and how long it lasts….

the iron bar hotel anthem: stop your grinnin and drop your linen.

Yeah. Ah, no. It started out with large families that were too poor to buy new clothes for the younger members. Hand-me-downs tended to be too large and drooped because they didn’t fit whoever got them. Eventually, because younger rappers wore this kind of style out of necessity, it became part of the trademark and fashion designers created new designs based on it. The fact that it pisses off old, stodgy white people just adds to the desire to keep wearing it. You want droopy pants to go away? Wear them yourself at a rap concert. Trend’ll disappear over night.

Hey, if nothing else it makes the police’s foot chases easier.

@Three Steps Over Japan, @JackButlerBoth of your theories on this are interesting. I always assumed some kids started it just because it obviously irritated their elders.On a side note, for his part, Oldbot has a Fred Mertz thing goin on in panel one.

if you adopt the trend, you have to be prepared to limit your use of hands to only one. The other hand will be in constant use holding up the pants to prevent complete rear axle exposure

@Three Steps Over Japan, @JackButlerI put more stock in the Jail theory, for one thing, I’ve heard it before elsewhere.Not to be disrespectful, but, I mean come on, this is the US of A. Nobody is that poor.Doubt me? Drive around some of the poorest neighborhoods you can find, count the Big Screen TVs, Cell Phones, and Hundred Dollar Nike’s.Folks in large families may pass down ill-fitting clothes, but you can always find something that will pass for a belt — if you want one.

Pull up your torso, man!

Reminds me of the 90’s when it became popular to let your draws hang down around your hips. Followed by the re-introduction of the wedgie when people got tired of seeing so many ass cracks.
