Hip Hop is Gay: The Irony of Saggy Pants

Everyone knows that the hip hop culture has popularized the saggy pants phenomenon. Few people know how it came about. Perhaps if these guys knew how it started they’d be less inclined to participate.

The sagging pants behavior comes comes from prison.  It indicates that one is available for anal sex. Men started making their “women” do this to symbolize that they were owned and available. Somehow through the perversion that is hip hop culture this made it out to the real world as cool behavior.

Keep this in mind the next time you see some hapless fool with his pants falling off. It’ll improve your day.:

[ Update: Snopes says this is false, and that the myth comes from ill-fitting clothes in prison and not from anything sexual. Interesting. I tend to trust Snopes' research, so count me among those who fell for it. ]
