The Older I get the Less I Can Stand Teenagers! (1 Viewer)

I wear my shorts and pants down around my behind or with a definite sag and I find it more comfortable than a pair of pants cinched around my waist.

All of my pants are at least a couple inches bigger than my natural waist size so that I can let them sag - I actually find them to be considerably more comfortable that way.

I could care less what sort of fashion statement it makes.

i see guys walking around and they have to hold their pants up by a belt loop....and they are constantly pulling them up so they don't fall....that seems like it would be rather annoying

Baggy pants, I can understand re: the comfort level. But honestly, looking at the guy on the right in the photo below, how could that possibly be comfortable; how can you walk in comfort with the crotch of your pants down to your knees??

Again, styles don't generally bother me; I may not like them but I'm sure my parents didn't like what I wore either. But two things do bother me:
1. These falling-off-style pants with the underwear showing...sorry, I do NOT want to see your underpants; I find it offensive.
2. Teens/adults/whoever, who do something outlandish in terms of style (really strange clothes, purple spiked hair, etc.), but get mad when you look at them. I may not care what you wear or do with your hair, but don't get offended if I stare...I assume you WANT attention by dressing that way, so you shouldn't expect people NOT to stare. You want to dress that way, then expect people to look.

roflmao

I don't wear mine *that* low - they are saggy, but they don't fall down around the bottom of my butt

And I don't have to hold mine up all the time - sometimes I might need to hike it up once in a while, but it doesn't bother me

It started when I was working construction. My tool belt always made my pants sag and it just started to feel more comfortable to me. You know - the whole plumber's crack except my underwear hides anything that would otherwise be censored.

So I got used to baggy jeans with a slight sag on them from working construction.

If that puts it into perspective at all

ROTFL, that makes SENSE. But the picture I posted makes absolutely no sense to me. Your pants are probably resting more on your hips than your waist; this guy is about to lose his.

yeah - that's probably a better way to put it lol

As for the pic - I think it's a scientific marvel - gravity-defying pants are surely worth investigating

I'm just trying to figure out where those two are going together. He appears completely under-dressed. And she has allsome legs. I can't stop staring. At her.

I really doubt I will. I understand why you may dislike many people my age, but dislike them based on their actions. Don't dislike them based on their age. They do a lot of things that I don't approve of, but I cannot change that, and I also don't intend to try to change that because it is a losing battle

The thing is that a lot of the times when a teenager does something that older people don't approve of, it's mainly because of how YOUNG they are. Thus it is mostly attributable to age. Plus, you've signaled yourself out as being more mature then regular 16 year olds, and should be treated as such is called being full of yourself. You may be right, and I tend to agree just by judging your responses, but EVERY teenager thinks they know more then they do and are more mature then they are. You think you know, but you don't know, and maybe you will in the years to come. You're taking things too seriously, chill, relax, have a coke and a smile and everything will be alright.

Music goes in cycles.

You need a longer memory. The original gender bending music was "glam rock" in the 70s.

Queen, Marc Bolan and T-Rex, New York Dolls, Bowie as Ziggy Stardust etc. etc.

Androgyny goes a long way back and cycles in and out.

Grunge was a bit more "testosterony" but was boring as hell. The mid to late 90s was a meager time for music, IMO. Everything sounded the same and it seemed like very band out there was in a rush to copy the grunge sound.

If not for Oasis, the Verve, Blur, U2 and a few others the 90s would have been a complete musical wasteland for me.

I had to quit listening to the radio for awhile there.

How can you mention gender bending and not include my avater, Alice Cooper? A man with that name that wore makeup before anyone else, and during the Billion Dollar Babies tour, wore 4 inch platform boots. Plus he is still releasing good music to this day. Along Came A Spider by Alice comes out on July 29, same day as the SG-1 movie Continuum, and I'm as happy as I can be minus anything Saints related about that day!

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.

 

[Scorpius the Allfather]

Yeah, and by the way that is definitely true. To whoever said it can't be comfortable, well, you're wrong.

That's just personal tastes. I can't stand it when my pants sag, it's not comfortable to me. And I don't think people need nor want to see my underwear. I definitely don't want to see any guys underwear.

I really don't appreciate you saying I am full of myself. Seriously, I am worlds more mature than other people my age and I do know that. I am not every other teenager that thinks that with no evidence to support it. If you knew me personally, you would understand. You could even ask my peers, they also know I am more mature than they are.

I agree, I completely lost my train of thought...
