According to Greg Mathis, sagging was adopted from the United States prison system where belts are prohibited.[SUP][3][/SUP] Belts are sometimes prohibited to keep prisoners from using them as weapons or in committing suicide by hanging themselves.[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP] The style was later popularized by hip-hop artists in the 1990s.[SUP][4][/SUP] It has since become a symbol of freedom and cultural awareness among many youths[SUP][6][/SUP] or a symbol of their rejection of the values of mainstream society.[SUP][7][/SUP]
Mathis also states that sagging has sexual connotations in prison ("Those who pulled their pants down the lowest and showed their behind a little more raw, that was an invitation"). [SUP][8][/SUP] According to Snopes.com, however, this is merely an urban legend.[SUP][5][/SUP]

In a lecture a few nights ago, the brother mentioned a hadith which said:

Every religion/faith has a characteristic, the characteristic of Islam is modesty.

Why she shouldn't post this? Truth is never fine, its obligated for muslims to wake each other up.

I live in a neighborhood were kids do this all the time and it is totally sickening. The trend started in prison to let gay prisoners know "your available". Kids do this thinking they look "gangsta" without knowing they are just asking for anal rape in prisons :omg: .
Trends like this are totally stupid and Ill stick to wearing my usual combat boots and M81 camo fatigues. Really scares people and lets them know to back off me ;D
 
In Indonesia, men who wear jeans below the waist like that are only youth from low social class, and low educated too.
 
The only thing worse than those jeans are skin-jeans or those tight jeans you see some Muslim men wear.

Those guys are wearing it because some 'muslim girls' think its stylish and cute...and to impress those girls they wear tight jeans that make you walk in a way as if you are constipated.
 
who cares where the trend was born?

May I say the trend of beautifying was born by prostitutes (guessing but who knows!)? But most women do it nowadays, eye lashes, mascara etc.

I dont see anything wrong with pants hanging low as long as the person is wearing boxers and their satr is hidden. Different strokes for different blokes, learn to accept diversity.

And I suppose girls wear mini-skirts because some "Muslim guys" think its stylish and cute. :mmokay:
 
I always thought it was a trend due to the fact most rapsters, hip hop artists originally came from the youth of poor black (African American) communities of the US. Families couldn't afford to buy the kids new clothing all the time so the younger wore the big brother's hand me downs...and often they were simply too big for them. Thus they hang down off their hips. Couldn't afford belts either and rope wasn't always available. When these kids who amused themselves with your typical rap music etc...became famous, they kept their style and eventually it became the 'IN' thing for youngsters to immunate. Then companies realiszed they can make badly made clothing of extra large sizes, tear holes in them and slap a fancy label and charge a rediculous amount and people would buy them so their kids look like the 'cool rapsters' they idolize. If they just spent a moment and realized that looking like some poor dirty kid wearing old worn out hand me downs made them look rediculous.

The poor kids should sell their jeans to these idiots and earn money to buy nice clothing. Let the wealthy wear their dirty, worn hand me downs and give them the nice clothing the well off kids don't want to wear as they want to look like their favorite rapster.

Disagree. No girl thinks it's nice, have some shame InshaAllaah.

why should these men care whether girls think its nice or not. I do not see what shamelessness has to do with a certain way of dressing (when satr is not showing).

Really an invalid comment. It's better to stay silent than to say something really really weird.

its my responsibility to correct when someone with holier-than-thou attitude comes and starts labelling everything they personally dislike as haraam in Islam!
