specifically the pants pulled down past your ass showing 6" of your boxer shorts, or like the dip#$%* kid i saw today wearing shorts pulled down so low that the hem of the leg was about 3" above his ankles. what the hell is the point? i suppose people my age said the same thing about teenagers fashions when i was a teen but we never wore anything so damn dumb. and what the hell is up with the kids wearing a visor, backwards, upside down?

The irony of this fashion was that this was used in prison, not sure exactly of the decade (60's 70's), to show the men's "availability".... So unfortunately it actually had a purpose at one time.. ::)


And for some reason these idiots took it out to the street and made it into a fashion..

Two thumbs up for showing your Availability you F'in Retards!!

Now when you see them you can chuckle to yourself, atleast that's what I do..

Not sure if this has been posted yet..



lots of kids look like that in oakland. it's pretty ridiculous. makes it easy to catch them if they try to steal your bike or something. all that extra material. and how you gonna run from the cops when your pants are around your ankles?

dummys.

hipsters are almost worse. they have tight pants down past their asses. I don't get that look. it's like a compromise between rocker and wankster. and the funny thing is they have a belt, usually. a stupid white one(can't find the puking blood smiley). but it's not in use.

dummys.

I hate those easter island ears someone mentioned, too. when they are removed it looks like you have a butthole on your ear. that's just gross.

savages.

so many other stupid trends make me wanna grab a shank and stab away...

but then I think back to my Tony Hawk sidespike in 89. I actually killed my hamster with hairspray because of that hairdo. poor lil guy. I still owe tony for that. bastard. duane peters showed us a better way.

my lime green mohawk from 1985/86 just pales in comparison.

I don't know where he's from. it might be another guy with the same crazy setup, but I think my buddy tattooed him at a convention. maybe seattle or vancouver. I don't remember.

I will admit that I am not in tune with todays fashions...by choice!

I look at some bird like those pictured and wonder...What are they gonna think of their looks when they're 60...or 70?  STUPID!
