But I'm just curious what it is about that style of dress than so offends you? "Baggy pants" especially seems like a pretty frivolous thing to be bothered by. If it's the over-indulgent consumerism/flaunting that bothers you, I understand and agree -- but you could certainly say white people are far, far, far more at fault for that than any other race.
I just hate that in our society that anything to do with the rap/hip hop culture is considered "cool".
