I think we are seeing the generation of the lowered sperm count, with tight belts that low down!

I don't mind baggy jeans...but that "below the buttocks" thing is just ridiculous.

Yeah there are tons of 'kids' wearing their pants like that here, I just don't understand............... :confused:

Given your location, I can see where that might be even MORE confusing.

The lowered waistline would seem to offer a "bulls-eye" for that Japanese cultural oddity known as the "kancho."

[cloves]

looked at your link......all I can say is..."yikes!"....I'm thinking the kancho is worse than somebody peeking under your kilt. Talk above invasive!

Oh man, my kids do that to me with sad regularity. Must be my big butt offering an irresistible target. It really freaked me out to begin with, now I just tell them off, cheeky little blighters!

The low pants thing comes from the stupid kids who want to be more "American", a sadly growing trend in Japan.

Caradoc, you've given me an education! That's just nasty =p
I've had friends over the years try that look, "tradesman's smile" out. I can't help myself but make gags about where I can park my bike, or I'll drop a coin down there when thier back's turned. It's always a donation...don't want that coin thank very much.

Young people are trend setters, & have been for many years, but the low slung jeans style escapes me, why would anyone want to look like that.

That's not such a bad thing, I'd really hate to see some of these types reproducing more like themselves.

It's funny that you make sweeping generalizations about my generation. However, it isn't always true. Personally, when not kilted, I can't stand a pair of pants or jeans that don't fit. I always wear a belt and don't like the idea of the world knowing what color boxers I wear. Most of the people I see and hang out with have pants that fit. That's not to say I don't see people as you describe. Not every guy from my age generation is dressed that way so do watch the sweeping generalizations. It's only a few sections of the whole demographic with clothing like that. Not all of it.

Wow, I think you're the only one who's taken Ron's topic so personally. In no way did it appear to be a "sweeping generalization." :fewl:
