AIBU?
To get baffled by the teen boys who can't get jeans past their thighs?

I know I am sounding like my Granny, and am obviously deeply uncool, but just how do they manage to walk without their jeans falling to the floor? And it means that you get to view said persons 'grundies' in the gap between t-shirt (above buttocks) and jeans (below buttocks), which in a teen boy's world is not really an attractive sight.
I know it is only a trivial matter, but I mean, hipsters I get. I like them, and i wear them, but surely this is a step to far?
Or am I just being a bit Victor over this...?

I saw a lad last week who didn't manage to walk, nay stand still even, without them falling down. He looked very embarrassed when he had to make a grab for them
Silly arse.
Hipsters are shite too. I've seen far too much pasty flesh hanging out and it's not even summer yet.

This from an article in the Guardian a while ago, the writer having seen said low-slung [email protected]
"The display I witnessed was not near any fashionable or gay area. These were not, I am sure, gay men. Though the clothes were screaming, "Look at my arse!" the manner and face of both men were saying, defiantly, "What do you think you're looking at?" Indeed, the low belt-line has been pioneered by rap musicians and urban American black culture, notorious for homophobic machismo."
And later in the same article:
"The subtext of the look is, I suspect, a defiantly macho, "Look, I'm so heterosexual that I can display my arse in public without feeling gay." There is a logic at work here. If you accept the argument that conventional straight fashion is running scared from gay fashion, it follows that the most macho way you can dress is to display that you are not susceptible to that fear. In other words, the best way to show that you have no fear of gayness is to dress gay."

Yes I think it is rather sweet as well
one lad who cut my hair has his whole arse out but I must say his pants were extremely white and fresh looking. I reckon if you are under 25 and capable of keeping your pants sparkling white then you might as well be showing them off to the world

It is not just teens - lol - my litle bro still wears his jeans like that to a certain extent and he is 26!! He has been doing it since he was 13 - useful for me as I have been able to wear his cast off w34/l32 jeans - my perfect fit but they hang of his lanky bumless frame - he was a skater boi so that is what they did.
