Sagging Pants (2009)
Fashion is kind of the ultimate fad, but usually your clothes won’t kill you. The sagging pants craze originated in urban communities in the early 2000s. It’s believed that it’s an adaptation of a look from prison, where you’re not allowed to have a belt, but it quickly evolved into a signifier of a certain kind of thug lifestyle. They might want to switch to skinny jeans, though, as the tale of Hector Quinones illustrates. In 2009, New York native Hector murdered and robbed a family on the Upper West Side. While chasing down the one survivor, the villain tripped over his saggy pants and fell off a fire escape three stories to his death.

Sagging pants was in the late 80's, early 90's for gangstas and wannabes to hide a gun in their waist band. Then is spread to suburban idiots.

Like the old guy dancing to gangnam style and dying. He was one foot in the grave already if that killed him. The austrilian kid doing planking on a f**n skyscraper. Stupid!! or the guy who tripped on his sagging pants and fell 3 stories while robbing and killing people. I say that's what they all deserved. Idiots are getting their rewards!!

Tupac sagged all the time. Don't give credit to the 2000's for a thing some did in the 1980's and hundreds later in the 1990's.
