What urban legend, myth, or fact have you heard as to how the saggy pants fashion got started?

1 Answer

Answer :

I don’t know that there’s an urban legend about it. I recall that when break dancing and other hip-hop dance styles started, they would wear baggy clothes because the drape and flow of the cloth would accentuate their movements (remember “Hammer Time” and the saggy pants in the video?), so I always saw it as an evolution of that style.
