Where did the origin of sagging pants come from? All ever heard is that it evolved from prison inmates that wanted to be, well u know.
You got the prison part right, but it had nothing to do with wanting to be "well u know."
In prison they take your belt and your shoelaces so you can't hang yourself. Your pants sag without a belt. End of story.
Now why these thugs decided to emulate that look by wearing baggy pants outside of prison is another topic all together. It's unfathomable to me why anyone would want to brag about such a thing. But I'm just an old white guy, so don't go by me.
