The Older I get the Less I Can Stand Teenagers!

that could apply to this entire thread... it amazes me that the people who 'just don't understand' rap or hip-hop or whatever the new 'push the boundaries' trend is-- were the same people rocking out to Elvis or Alice Cooper or The Beastie Boys or whatever the old 'push the boundaries' trends were... i'm 34, and i don't get the low-ride shorts or some of the music i hear-- but i understand that it's to be expected that i don't, and that in 20 years there'll be something else for the kids to 'get' that the adults just can't understand... once you learn to embrace change instead of shaking your head and rolling your eyes-- you'll be a lot better off...

I agree, except with the low ride jeans. The people that wear their pants like that just don't get from where that came. It's from prison! How can being someone else's sex toy in prison make you want to wear your pants the same way? It's not that I don't get it, it's that THEY don't get it, and rappers perpetuate that style, which is being emulated by ignorant people.
