来英国留学(或美国,或其他西方国家)的同学,应该都会不经意发现一个现象,因为它实在太普遍了,就是腐国男生穿裤子,总是喜欢露出内裤,有的甚至半个屁股都露了出来(虽说是挡着的,但碰到那种穿紧身内裤的GG,貌似啥也都显露了出来……)。咱暂且不论他们这么穿裤子到底好不好看,至少每次我看到这种GG的时候,都挺佩服他们的,心想:“这裤子穿的这么低,走的这么摇摆,裤子竟然还不会掉下来!”
各位看官不晓得,其实这种穿法是一种fashion啊!Fashion有很多是我们常人无法理解的哇!比如……2012年伦敦时装周设计师Pam Hogg的catwalk……
Pam Hogg是英国本土服装设计师,毕业于Glasgow School of Art,学习Fine Art and Printed Textiles,由于优异的成绩后来考入Royal College of Art获得研究生学位。70年代末她就创建了自己第一个品牌叫做“Rubbish”,并于1981年推出了她第一个个人系列,是当时非常受关注的服装设计师。近几年,她的服装多次被Lady Gaga,Jessie J,Rihanna和Kate Moss等明星穿过。
上图中露屁屁的模特是25岁的Alice Dellal。2011年,她被香奈儿“老佛爷”卡尔.拉格菲尔德(Karl Lagerfeld)选为香奈儿的广告模特。
踩刹车,回到正题,这篇文章呢,我们在讲男生露内裤是一种fashion对吧!而且它还有一个专属名字,叫做Sagging,这么穿的人可以称为Sagger。
据说,由于以前美国的监狱系统是不允许犯人佩戴皮带的,为了防止他们用皮带打人或者太忧虑了自杀时用来上吊。所以在没有皮带的情况下,很多犯人的裤子就会一直往下掉,就是照片中的这种情况。后来到了90年代,一些hip-hop歌手也开始了这种穿法,就最后形成了一种潮流,变成了年轻人展示自由和区分文化的象征,也带有“叛逆”的意思(如果称为反社会可能有点严重了吧……思考中……)。另外,据说,如果监狱犯人把裤子放到很低,也有“邀请”的意思,呃……大家懂的我就不多说了……
但现在年轻人这么穿,到底是在“寓意”着什么,还是只是单纯的觉得酷,那就因人而异了,咱们无法考证了。所以,当我们理解Sagging为一种文化后,就应该不会那么抵触了吧,毕竟我们出国是为了了解不同文化的,是不?最后,分享一个唱Sagging现象的视频,名字就叫做“Pull your pants up”(把你裤子提起来)。开头黑人grandma说话非常搞笑,歌曲非常动感,一直在说“pants”这个词:
I’m the street priest I’m not here to Judge
This a letter to the streets talking to my thugs <( ̄oo, ̄)/ thugs大家可理解为流氓。
From Gebeuds to Monkey jeans to what you want to wear
I’m just saying man im sick of seeing your underwear╰( ̄▽ ̄)╮这话说的经典!
I think I speak on behalf of the community≡[。。]≡哟哟,不要轻易就代表谁哦!
You look suspect jail is were you soon to be
Behind bars it’s a code for the “N” word
The word saggin spelled backward is the “N” word
You walk the streets with your pants way down low
I don’t know! Looks to me you on the down low
Some of yall think its gangster to show your back
On behalf of real men we aint feeling that
We don’t understand man cause it shocks us
Can you make us understand why you show your boxers?
Cause if you stand up straight bet your pants fall
Might as well walk around with your pants off
Be a real man stand up! Is that your underwear man pull your pants up把裤子提起来!
I’m a grown man on my grind trying to shine
How you gone grind when your mind showing your behind
I think its rude but some of yall think it’s cool<( ̄▽ ̄)> 哇哈哈…你也这么觉得啊?
Walking around showing your behind to other dudes
It looks retarded, degenerate, and real odd(>^ω^<)真理哇!
Yeah you hard! But now it’s hard to get a real job(+﹏+)~狂晕……是这样的……
What’s up with it bro I’m just trying to let you know
Put a belt around your waist before your pants hit the floor
If you twenty and above and you still sagg
Man you grown and you’re wrong you should feel bad — 握个手
A disgrace to your race were your pride at
Come on man pull up your pants and get your pride back — 击个掌
I’m not saying don’t show your swagg with your baggy jeans
I’m just saying don’t show your “eah!!” with your baggy jeans
