One main thing that I think has a negative impact on pop culture is the pants sagging epidemic. People sometimes sag their pants and dress in baggy clothes. This leads to a lot of stereotyping. Many people who wear these kinds of clothes are just normal kids, but society as a whole sees them as trouble, just by the way that they dress. Many people who sag their pants have no clue how pant sagging began. It actually began in a prisons. By styling yourself after criminals, you are automatically asking to be stereotyped as someone who would be in prison. There have been many different explanations as to why prisoners started sagging their pants, but the one that has most strength is that prisoners didn't have proper fitting clothes, so their pants sagged. I personally do not want to see someones underwear when I am shopping for food at walmart or anywhere else.....It's just gross. Sagging your pants does nothing for you or anyone else..If you can't afford a new pair of pants, at least get a belt. No one wants to see it, and you are just setting yourself up to be profiled.Snopes article on the history of sagging pants.
