Crunk Ain't Dead.... but I wish it were.

"Do your pants hang low
do they sag to and fro
do you never use a belt
do you always let it show
does yo momma tell you boy
you're boxers are just not cool
do your pants, hang, low."

I am in love with the idea that you dress the way you wish to be perceived. If you want to be known as a rocker, you dress up in leather, band shirts, tight torn jeans, and perhaps sport a mohawk. If you want to seem like a hard core street thug, you wear chains, sport team caps, and extremely overlarge t-shirts. I like to think that these things were considered practical at some point, but that point is looong past. Today's topic takes you into the deep dark chasms. A place where every man goes to watch his testosterone die. Fashion.

There's a point...

The fashions of the time are always a staple when it comes to embarrassing conversations with the kids. Ever had that talk to your mom about her neon leg warmers? Maybe you should, lots of laughs ensue. I think that there are some things that we will be very upset with saying, but there are some, like yoga pants, that we will be proud to say we started. We knew what we were doing and what not. Women are probably going to make their kids cringe, while guys are going to look relatively the same as they are older.

No promises for this guy though.

So below I shall give you an example of an embarrassing outfit for each culture that we have. This is going to be fun...



Male Hipster: Not the crossed arms, the tattooed arm, the black glasses and the way too low v-neck. The best accent for this outfit though, is the "I'm too cool to talk to you look." He can probably be found smoking a cigarette in his city "Occupying" it.



Female Hipster: Tattoo, revealing clothing, dyed hair, vintage shirt and pants, daddy issues.

Male Urban (Three Six Mafia): Oversized clothing, a look of pure anger even without cause. Shiny things and nice sneakers. Will look like they were hit with a shrink ray before getting dressed.

Female Urban (Nikki Minaj): Fake hair, tattoos possible, revealing clothing, oversized glasses. Basically the type of girl who shows a large amount of authority and flash.



Female Prep (Paris Hilton/ Barbie): Waaay too skinny, oversized glasses, monstrous expense rate. whistling noises when you blow in their ear. Also very tan and known for the party scene.

Male Prep (Affliction): Think they are extremely hard core. Fake tans, drink excessively, somehow manages to reproduce. You cut them, they bleed gel.




DISCLAIMER: Exceptions to the rule are always known. Any arguments you have on it can be taken up with your future kids. I for one will be pointing and laughing at what I was wearing for sure. Hell, I already do when I look at my highschool photos.

  1. ......I still remember the day I saw my first real life Guido.

    I was in uniform at the time so I couldn't say anything.

  2. The first time I saw my first real-life Guido I found out he was my great-uncle through marriage. It's cool though, because he made the BEST tomato sauce from scratch. Even if he apparently used to wear an ankle holster.

    My Yankee family's crazy...

    You forgot tree-huggers and people who bring laptops/smart devices to public cafes so other people can see them being creative!

  3. The glasses immediately sent me back to the Great Big Comfy Couch. Ever seen that show? I don't know exactly what the draw was when I was a child, but I remember the girl clown pulling out her doll, Molly, to read a book. Before she could read she had to get her huge glasses. They looked like the pair the girl on the right in your first picture was wearing. Only these yellow rims and blue lenses. Oh, every time I see those types of sunglasses, I'm reminded of the clown. Maybe it's not a good representation of what these people want to be.

  4. I remember Margaret!! And you're right. Now, I'll think of that too. XD

    Hipsters... Oh my gosh. I can't even begin to describe how I feel about them. Maybe sad? It's like... emo kids and hippies had a baby. Or is that scene kids? Maybe that's emo and Goth?

    Fashion is confusing. @_@

  5. Wow, was that last picture from the first annual Jersey Shore Douchebag Contest? Lol,. this was a funny and all too true blog. So, that's why I dress like Mr. Brown from all the Tyler Perry comedies. Nylon, vinyl and other flammable materials are so what's not up, that why I dig 'em. Keep up the funny blogs!
