        I tell my clients it comes from prison as a sign you were looking for sex.

        Close and possibly true for some, but apparently it was more just that they weren’t allowed to have belts to hold up their pants. When people got released, they continued to wear them loose because they were comfortable. The trend then spread to hip hop and other cultures in the 90s.

        Big older brother hand me downs or something, that’s probably apocryphal though.

        Mostly I just want to say, respect to the guy on the left for wearing his trousers basically normally.

    Ye I think most of us are just tired of seeing all the hate spew other sites have. It’s much more of a pleasant experience to just chill

          I’m sorry you’ve found it worse. Reddit was always incredibly toxic for me and even smaller communities were terrible.
