alright, now, lemme explain the convict thing... cause many people may not understand that pants that are that low do stem from convicts... way back they used to put them in really huge clothes so that when they tried to escape they'd have trouble running... I mean I can understand if a guy wants more 'space' but when they're down really really low, it looks horrible, and it drives me crazy.. esp. when I have to see their boxers all the time because of it... I'm sorry, pants were made to cover your postierier, not to sit right under it.... The clothing 'should' not make anyone look like a convict, but the truth is, in my opinion, that it does.
Ok. Now I know you're just trying to prove a point by showing other sterotypes, but I take extreme offense to the saying of goths being satanists...

I don't know about where you live, but around here people don't really wear their pants like that anymore. It WAS a fad, but like any fad, its already had its 15 minutes of fame. If people around you are still doing it, they are out of date... lol... around here if girls see a guys boxers they quickly let him know his unmentionables are showing. About the pants being baggy... Have you seen the pants ravers wear? HUGE. There are two reasons for this... its part of the fashion, and it looks really good to have loose baggy pants when you dance. That goes for both rave and hip-hop cultures. Of course, many people don't ever take the time to find out WHY people dress the way they do.
I'm sorry you took offense to my comment about Goths. I really just wanted to show how stupid stereotypes are. I have a few friends that are goths and one guy is INCREDIBLE... very open-minded and accepting of all types of people. I also have friends that are ravers and punks and are into hip-hop... Of course, my analogies seem to have gone right over your head.
You say the 'masses' prove your stereotype right? Even if it was the 'masses' that made it true, would that still represent the ENTIRE group? Of course not. It cannot be the 'masses' anyway because you most likely haven't met the majority of people who embrace hip-hop culture, and even if you had, you probably haven't made much of an effort to understand why these people enjoy what they do, judging from the content of your answers. I've met a few goths who represent these stereotypes... but by no means do I attempt to classify them as the 'masses'
