So Kris-Kross was swag before there was swag?

[–]kobekramer1 7 points8 points ago

I knew they were hip...

[–]ePHDiSK 5 points6 points ago

[–]geosh 4 points5 points ago

swiggity-swiggity-swiggity-swag.

[–]jimmydoodle91 6 points7 points ago

Omg... Kriss-Kross was the origination of hipsters....

[–]sean488 0 points1 point ago

That's what I was wondering.

[–]Flyingnutkick 97 points98 points ago

The reason they wear there pants backwards is so the zipper is at the back, making it easy for anal access

[–]GilleyTheSilly 11 points12 points ago

I thought that was why they sag their pants?

[–]Shit_Dickery 9 points10 points ago

Nahh, they "swag" their pants.

[–]sdavey3000 3 points4 points ago

Actually, it started in prisons because the inmates weren't allowed to have belts.

[–]CakeBandit 2 points3 points ago

Cheeze it! The fun police are here!

[–]akakaze 0 points1 point ago

I was told it was started in prison by inmates indicating that they'd go full prison bitch without a fight for smokes.

[–]Timett_son_of_Timett 7 points8 points ago

At least it all makes sense now.

[–]7Snakes -3 points-2 points ago

That's fucking retarded. It's for easier pooping.

[–]TheCryptic 29 points30 points ago

No need for apologies, kids have been rebelling through fashion for generations.

[–]lurking_pussy249 16 points17 points ago

About 15 years ago I had a dream that me and my then-high-school-boyfriend moved to the big city and were doing sex work to make ends meet. I told him to put his trousers on backwards to show his ass was for sale.

[–]Stanjoly2 2 points3 points ago

[–]cianisgood 6 points7 points ago

I hate when people say I apologize generation's clothes, music tastes or humour.

[–]IAMApenis 7 points8 points ago

"I'm only twelve but I listen to Queen and wear only le gentleman fedoras and meme t shirts my generation sucks because Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber sucks I'm so sorry for my generation please 20 year old internet people accept me and only 90's kids will get this"

killer boots man!

[–]LetsSlamdance 0 points1 point ago

Best comment ever.

[–]Darthdex 0 points1 point ago

Mock!

[–]icky_boo 4 points5 points ago

Kris Kross will make yo jump.

[–]shmoobert 8 points9 points ago

I want astronaut boots..

[–]gerbs 2 points3 points ago

Those are some sweet looking shoes.

[–]shmoobert 0 points1 point ago

They remind me of snowboard boots.

[–]IamAlampshadeAMAA 0 points1 point ago

They're called Supras, I believe. They're just high top shoes with velcro.

[–]ContaxG2 5 points6 points ago

Is that a thing now?

[–]Skwerley 11 points12 points ago

Only in the eyes of old people who see this picture

[–]ContaxG2 2 points3 points ago

So...young people who see this photo think it's a damn fine idea?

[–]Skwerley 7 points8 points ago

Be honest with yourself, if you could get away with dressing like this, you would. Everyone loves to be different. If you don't, you're probably boring.

I think it looks re-fucking-tarded. but hey. I did stupid shit too. That's how stuff is created.

[–]ContaxG2 1 point2 points ago

Being different and creative is good and should definitely be encouraged, and then there's wearing your trousers back to front.

[–]purplestofthepurples 0 points1 point ago

I'm under 20 and think it looks stupid, so I'm gonna say no.

[–]Wesa -1 points0 points ago

Fuck, I'm old?

[–]WizardCap 3 points4 points ago

Is it just me, or are we regressing to the 80s?

[–]CherrySlurpee 13 points14 points ago

are they...are they wearing their pants backwards?

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points ago

And they'll make you jump, jump.

[–]7Snakes 1 point2 points ago

No, you're looking at the picture from the back.

[–]Koliflower2 6 points7 points ago

I thought ugly sweater day was in December? ooohhh burn

[–]Beefmittens 15 points16 points ago

Man, this is so annoying. I'm sorry everyone doesn't wear sweater vests and sport coats. What the fuck do you want?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Beefmittens 15 points16 points ago

Why is this bad and how does it affect your life in any way?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

I disagreed with you initially but this comment made me rethink myself. Thanks.

[–]Timett_son_of_Timett 1 point2 points ago

Because we, as adults young and old, all did the same stupid shit when we were teens, just in different ways. What we are trying to say is that you need to take a step back from your bullshit and start figuring out who you are as a person instead of trying to be so fucking unique that you look like a blind retarded chimp dressed you. When people fail to do this we get things like the Jersey Shore, and other immature adult trends.

[–]Beefmittens 4 points5 points ago

I really, really don't think macho overindulgent behavior has anything to do with people dressing in ways which offend your sensibilities. There have always been stupid macho subcultures, I don't know why you have correlated their existence with teenage fashion trends. If anything, I think exploring subcultures and expressing yourself through ridiculous outfits is an important part of finding yourself.

These kids are a shitty pop duo and in all likelihood they had their clothes picked out by some adult aged stylist. The way they dress literally has no tangible effect on your life. About half the time on this website people whine and carry on like they wish everyone in the world was a bermuda short wearing middle class American.

[–]mk5p 0 points1 point ago

You are correct, it's a waste of time! So why are you here, as I am, arguing this?

[–]larpas -1 points0 points ago

It doesn't affect me, but I still think it looks stupid as shit. Is that ok?

[–]Beefmittens 0 points1 point ago

Absolutely not. Who the fuck do you think you are you fascist?!

No, of course it is. I just think it's ridiculous that there are actually people out there who are offended by things like this.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

great colors 10/10 would bang

[–]connery78 2 points3 points ago

That shit looks like a Cosby sweater.

[–]SirRosie 2 points3 points ago

Who cares what kids wear? Doesn't hurt me none.

[–]donderz420 2 points3 points ago

I have seen those shoes before

[–]Reggieperrin 1 point2 points ago

A little arrogant of you to assume those people want some one like you to apologize for them isn't it or do you know them all personally.

[–]oversearainaxon 0 points1 point ago

Just wondering how they look like from the back.

[–]rockytheboxer 1 point2 points ago

What they look like, or how they look. Not both.

[–]oversearainaxon 2 points3 points ago

Thanks for correction.

[–]ZiccoSim 0 points1 point ago

How can they even go to the bathroom like that?

[–]DevilsmeadReturned 1 point2 points ago

why are their pants backwards?

[–]guignoleyes 0 points1 point ago

What year is this picture from, 1980? Back then it wasn't swag, it was fashion. FASHION.

[–]hugh_person 0 points1 point ago

I hate retro '80s stuff because it normally doesn't even make any sense. But those shoes are tight!

[–]neonknightz 0 points1 point ago

Wow those jumpers are straight out of saved by the bell

[–]prometheus199 1 point2 points ago

If I see a person wearing their pants backwards, I'm going to go up behind them, and whisper into their ear: "I know why you're wearing your pants backwards.... thank you", and if they don't run away then I'm going to put my hand on their shoulder and whisper again, "thank you so much" in a really creepy voice.

[–]Thmstlly 0 points1 point ago

The font colouring is more annoying than the two idiots in the picture.

[–]scooterpuff 0 points1 point ago

Kriss Kross and Moon Shoes of this generation

[–]SirFadakar 0 points1 point ago

What's wrong with those boots? If I had a pair you'd bet your ass I'd wear them around.

[–]clintmccool 0 points1 point ago

In case you were wondering, red text over images still isn't any fucking easier to read.

[–]GrooveCombo 0 points1 point ago

The way things are going, in 3 years kids will wear their pants inside out.

[–]stugots84 1 point2 points ago

Apologize? Those boots are 'Back To The Future: Part II' style.

[–]pocarisweat9 0 points1 point ago

fuck me and I thought ravers looked retarded...

[–]Ben_Jahmin 0 points1 point ago

For some reason I laughed so hard at this.

[–]Thameus 0 points1 point ago

I apologize on behalf of your parents' generation.

[–]ihatecruises 0 points1 point ago

Fuck off, moon boots are awesome.

[–]omnichronos 0 points1 point ago

I understand dressing up and having your own style, especially as a teen. However I never understood clothing that is uncomfortable, impractical, or impedes movement.

[–]SC0TTBL4M 0 points1 point ago

I actually think the boots are pretty cool. I'd wear them to a concert or dance party or something.

The pants on the other hand... I just don't get.

[–]Rhode_Islan-derp 0 points1 point ago

I think those boots are from back to the future 2...

[–]dontomaso 0 points1 point ago

'Cause I'm the miggity, miggity, miggity, miggity Mac Daddy Miggity, miggity, miggity, miggity Mac

[–]mxjf 0 points1 point ago

NO. those shoes are fucking cool. where can I get some?

[–]churchify 0 points1 point ago

...looks just a bit like Dave Chappelle and Edward Norton

[–]Azozel 0 points1 point ago

Back when I was a kid, if you put your pants on backwards and couldn't keep them around your waist you were considered mentally disabled.

I see some things never change.

[–]r0cketx 0 points1 point ago

Oh ffs...i hope people like these get hit by a bus

[–]purplestofthepurples 0 points1 point ago

Before I saw this, I was blissfully unaware that this was a thing. Fuck you OP

[–]Desefortunadamente 0 points1 point ago

I did anyone else rock fanny packs? I know I am guilty of that!

[–]Zoembie 0 points1 point ago

Something about those guys' posture makes me envision them on Segways.

[–]jnethery 0 points1 point ago

You should apologize for not having swag.

[–]fuzzycuffs 1 point2 points ago

Correction: his sister's pants

[–]not_a_scot 0 points1 point ago

I swear I saw this like two pages ago.

[–]futbol4life22 0 points1 point ago

The dude on the right looks like John Cusack. Also, I'm happy to say I've never seen anyone dress like this.

[–]climb08 0 points1 point ago

how do you walk with your pants backwards? I just have this image of it not working...

[–]firetaucayenne 1 point2 points ago

You're all just hating because those shoes are super fly.

[–]zach10002 -1 points0 points ago

I feel the same way.

[–]yukonterrain 1 point2 points ago

1) Who the fuck appointed you the spokesman of your generation?

2) What is there to apologize for? Some teens experimenting with fashion and self-expression? Good for them. Who cares?

[–]tiyx 1 point2 points ago

Chris Cross going to make you....

[–]Tugged_monkey 0 points1 point ago

Nice jumper. All the jumpers my mum knitted for me always looked terrible.

[–]794613825 0 points1 point ago

Oh, my gosh... Mini heart attack... I thought I knew those people in real life... Geez...

[–]godlesszq 1 point2 points ago

Dave Chappelle has SWAG...

[–]m1k3L777 0 points1 point ago

I guess, but how is that relevant to this post?

[–]westerchester 1 point2 points ago

Dude on the left looks like Dave Chappelle.

[–]m1k3L777 -4 points-3 points ago

Oh, right. All black people DO look the same! Wait, no, they don't, and, no, he doesn't. That's what I thought you meant.

[–]ADM_Nelson 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, nobody said all black people look the same. But the guy on the left DOES look like a young Chappelle.

[–]m1k3L777 0 points1 point ago

I'll take another look.

[–]godlesszq 0 points1 point ago

that's him... in the back left... clearly.

Thrown where?

[–]knot353 0 points1 point ago

Wtf? I used to be made fun of for wearing boots like that. I guess I had swag before I was cool.

[–]holladoub 0 points1 point ago

yet these guys get girls

[–]hadouken78 -2 points-1 points ago

The WORST kind of girls

[–]natalieroset 0 points1 point ago

What the actual fuck?

[–]Notloc24 0 points1 point ago

cute sweater

[–]FapMasterSlick 0 points1 point ago

For the record the twins Chris Cross wore jeans backwards, too. So it's been around since the 90's
