Hip-Hop & Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans came back in style in about 2009, and have been a topic of discussion quite often. This old fashion has come back, I believe, starting with the Rockers, Punks, Emo kids, and the "Scene" kids. But Now Hip-Hop artists have taken the fashion into their wardrobe, too. Many people nationwide have stated their opinion on the new skinny jean era:

"Wayne, the hip hop artist with the most current success (he has the Grammy, record sales and Gatorade endorsement to prove it), is really trying to make so that hip hoppers transition from the laissez-faire, 25-year trend of baggy and saggy jeans to the polar opposite: wearing jeans so tight that there’s no possible way you can sag or even put two nickels in your right pocket."

"Skinny jeans were the natural backlash against the baggy movement. It’s really just another attempt at being retro. Have you forgotten how tight pants were in the 70s?"

"Also, many young men in skinny jeans do sag their pants. That’s the standard way young African Americans wear them. So, you have some super tight jeans, belted tightly around some young dudes thighs. And boxers everywhere...Crazy."

"I simply do not understand the whole trend. A guy that can wear tighter jeans than me is seriously a scary thought lol."

"I think that anyone:
-Men
-Women
-Blacks
-Whites
-Asians
Can wear skinny jeans, or anything for that matter.
I am a white straight male and have no shame in admitting I wear skinny jeans. Not only are they skinny— they are what Pac-sun call “Drakes Skinnest”– nearly skin tight pants. They aren’t the most comfortable of jeans, but hey, as long as I feel that I look good? that’s all that matters. Equality is the most important thing on this earth, why can’t people see that?"

"To me skinny jeans are the symbol of the androgynous rebel. Skinny jeans were first worn by guys anyway. Remember at one point it wasn’t even acceptable for women to wear jeans."

"y r ppl tlkin bout dudes wearing skinny jeans ok girls can wear baggy cargos but we cant wear skinny jeans??
All these celeberties wearing skinny jeans and they get all respect but a group called new boyz come out and wear them and now ppl saying it gay and stuff you know what i respect those dudes so all you haters can….
STFU!!"

Celebrities have a huge impact on the average American. Americans see their favorite rappers, rock stars, actors, actresses, ect. wearing certain things without worrying about what people say and therefore, they do the same.
