What are your thoughts when you see someone "sagging" their pants?
What are your thoughts and opinions when you see someone "sagging" their pants or jeans?
I myself think its a nasty disgusting way to attract attention. I've seen guys walk around holding their pants with their pants hanging down to their knees, I'm not lying. I don't understand why they just don't wear a belt instead of having their pants to their knees and struggling to walk. How does it make you react? What should be the fines and punishment for sagging? Should all states have laws against sagging? Why do you think they do this?

Maybe give some free advice about: Etiquette?
They're influenced by others and do what they see to be "cool" or "down" It will eventually evolve into something else (Hopefully something more decent) It won't last forever. I used to do it a few years ago. Now I really don't care about the fitting in with them thing anymore so I stopped. Plus it's uncomfortable.

How true this is I'm not sure. I was told once that shagging of the pants was a jail inmates way of signaling that he was available for sex. If true how this made its way out of the prison system on to the streets of our cities as a style trend I don't know.
Frankly I don't want to see some boys underware or their ass crack for that matter. Most people, adults, cops and the like see some boy walking around like that and he is immediately suspect a hood, gang banger or worse.
I don't know why anyone would want to draw attention to theselves that way. If something goes wrong in a neighborhood they are the firstones the cops are putting up against the wall.
As for making it illegal? Sorry it is a protected right; Fredom of expression.

it's a trend, sweetie. and even though it's totally annoying and retarded... we can't change who people are. And as for the belt thing hahaha actually most teens do wear belts and STILL sag their pants. they wear tight jeans and STILL sag their pants. they wear tight jeans with belts and STILL sag their pants. It's a trend.

Why do they do this?
Because they see other people doing it, probably other people they like or want to be like, so they think it's the thing to do.
They might even be right! They might be right that wearing their pants like a moron is the right way to get respect from other people who wear their pants that way...
Should there be laws/fines or punishment for it?
Hell no. Maybe, maybe it should be an issue if say, it's impeding their ability to drive a car, but otherwise no. What you wear is no business of a law. You can dress like a moron if you want. You can dress like a fricking circus clown if you want. It's not a crime.
How does it make you react?
I think it's childish and silly. I haven't taken anyone who dressed like that very seriously since I was thirteen. I point these people out to my friends and we laugh at them for waddling like penguins. I would never date someone who dressed this way. I probably wouldn't hire someone who dresses this way to do very many jobs.
But I also don't waste too much time worrying about it. Lots of people dress in careless or silly ways. Today I saw a girl whose left butt cheek was hanging out of her shorts... I can't save her from this sort of thing any more than I can make guys stop wearing their jeans around their knees. What I can do is choose my friends and acquaintances based on whatever criteria I might like (the criteria 'Must not wear your pants down around your knees' is fine) and laugh at people I think look silly.
Most things like this are better approached with a sense of humor and an appreciation for the absurd, rather than with disgust and anger.
