And even funnier is the fact that they copied it from the prisoners in jail that are doing that to say they take in the rear... Reason I know this is from a few friends one is a guard for the jail system here in ca and one friend been in and out of jail since he was 18....

It's not the ignorant music, n!**3*-like actions, gang-style scene that does it, it's the fact that you're different from everyone, you do something that represents your area (south have crumping, East has the Harlem Shake, some areas 'step', etc) And you're having hella fun doing it.
I have a close-knit circle of homies that do stuff like this, and have been doing things like this since we had cars. Myself and my friends started a "sideshow" in the parking lot of our high school. We had 19 people on the OUTSIDE of a suburban on 22s(rainbow) but it was still fun.
We got cops called, and stopped school altogether. haha
Bottom line is, it does generate a negative, ignorant, obnoxious image, but that's fine.
Being ignorant and dumb is part of the hyphy movement, just know the line between extremely dangerous, and having fun.
(note: My sc300 will NOT have big-*** rims, but I am guilty of ghost riding it once or twice.)

In all actuality although the origins may have started in the prison system the trend started way back when prisoners were given clothes assigned to them bigger then what they actually wore (more prisoners less fitted clothes Ex:XXL ), also belts were not issued to prisoners because they can be used as weapons or by themselves in attempt to commit suicide, so the saggy pants started as a trend. Wasn’t long before it was picked up on the street where sagging pants not only was a image associated from doing time but was also easier to hide weapons or hide possessions such as drugs or theft. "Baggy" pants also started earlier then that mostly in the 30-40s era with zoot suits.... And No the hyphy movement its not the saggy pants movement.
