No, I don't get the picture. So they dress up in baggy pants and listen to hip hop music.
i already explained. clothing and music are not the issue. the trend of willful devolution is the issue. not only that, but the peer pressure from such a widespread trend. its not like way back when, when some would listen to metal and dress like punks, or some would dress like guidos in z-cavariccis wearing way too much cologne. for the most part, it was just fashion, not an altering of one's persona and morals.
today you need a criminal record to be 'real'. you have to worship material things, you have to treat women like whores, or if you are a woman you have to have no respect for youself and be a whore. its not a fashion, its a way of life. there have always been a criminal element and there has always been an element which fancies those criminals. however today it is popular culture, not some fluke. maybe you need to move over here in jersey to understand, or elsewhere. when you see about the 10th pregnant 13 year old, or see a gang of white upper-middle class thugs cause a riot at your local strip mall, then perhaps you will see that it has nothing to do with bling bling and baggy cloths, but everything to do with our future.
