And now you have baseball caps that are askew like the gang bangers except they've just moved the bill to the side.

I don't understand why you see so many young men wearing the shorts way below the crotch and the giant tshirts... that aren't gang bangers.

I had to read between the "lines" but I think we was just to busy to change. Nice catch.

Took me a second look... but yeah, pretty funny.
I'll wear mine backwards on occasion, but not when it's needed forward.

Have you ever given one of those gangbangers wanna-bees a monster wedgie? There's enough distance between the crotch of the pants and the actual crotch that you can get some good momentum going before the two meet. It's a power wedgie they won't forget any time soon.

Backwards is a convenient place to store the brim when I've got my eye to my camera.

And the hat stays on better when it's windy.

Or if the sun's behind me it saves my neck from turning red.


In this case, it's a fail picture waiting for the proper caption.

That so needs a string or something where you could make the mouth open and close. :p

What I like about this trend is that you can tell from a glance that they're not carrying a weapon. I used to be offended by the sagging pants, until I realized that most of the guys actually wear gym shorts under their baggie jeans, with additional undergarments on under those (my step brother participates in this style trend), so they're not actually showing off their panties.

makes you all sweaty down there, you guys think you have chafing problems on your bicycles!?!?! :p

Road Nazi Survival Tip: if some idiot can't even put a ball cap on straight, they can't drive a car. Learn it. Remember it. Live it.

Trust me on this. The accuracy of this predictor is uncanny.

And sometimes I see those with the DumbBob AssPants riding bicycles, invariably a 6' guy riding a bmx bike.

You can't see whether or not a driver has a hat on until he/she is too close to do much about it.

It's called urban camouflage, and keeps the gangsta predators quiet.

My nephew is a 'thug familiar', doesn't gangbang, but hangs with 'em. I have to tell him daily to pull his sh** up, he's not on the street in my living room.

OK, now I can reply to the OP....

There were actually only two choices there -- 'slave to fashion' and 'simpleton' are peas in the same pod.

Well the first thing I thought was, "Tool." But Simpleton works. I clicked that one.

Guys, the reason the pic is funny doesn't have anything to do with the guy in the pinstripes, nor the backward hat trend in GENERAL, but there is something specific to this particular case that makes it funny. I'll let the OP give it away if he wants for those on the wrong track.
