Bottoms up!
Posted on April 19, 2009 by by racer
How times have changed, or have they? I’m talking fashion. Of course I would expect fashion to change over time but what concerns me, or maybe I should say disgusts me is what society seems to find accepting, and I can only assume for most, appealing. The point is, well it’s not really a point but more of a crack. Yes I’m referring to people happily displaying their squashed bottom cheeks peeking out over the top of a pair of pants. The fashion result – a rather unpleasant look – a pair of pants that don’t actually cover the bottom. It is now at the point where I can not leave my house without seeing somebodies crack. And I would have to say I find it quite repulsive. I remember a time when it was only laborers who would so proudly be showing off their cracks, and how repulsed everyone seemed to be at this site. But now it appears that these guys are right up there with the fashion. Am I that behind in the times that I can’t see the attraction in wearing clothing like this? Not to mention comfort factor – what’s going on there?
And then there’s the other type, who like their bottom displayed completely above their pants. In this case, even though underpants are worn, I really don’t see the point at all. Underpants are appropriately named in my opinion – to go under the pants. I have on several occasions seen males with undies that are so worn they are almost see-thru! Yep, nice one. Perhaps when deciding to go with this fashion trend they should be regularly updating their underwear. I haven’t yet seen, but am sure that’s only a matter of time, stained undies! While this type of fashion goer does make the point of covering their crack, and yes this is appreciated, I still don’t feel the need to see their underwear.
While I don’t enjoy looking at peoples cracks, what annoys me even more is how difficult I have found it to find a pair of pants that don’t show my own crack. While they are out there, I do realise that they can be a little difficult to find. All I can hope is that fashion moves on sooner rather than later and people start wearing pants that actually do what pants are suppose to……….. cover your bottom!

Hang in there racer … the times they will change, and some other fashion will come in for us all to be disgusted about. We used to get scandalised over women showing their ankles, or men being seen outdoors without a hat. Rest assured, next year you’ll find something else to get riled up over.

The older and mellower I get, the more I realise there’s plenty of stupid people out there following fashions that make me look and silently ask “Why?”

Yeah, I don’t see it as something that’s worth getting riled up over. If you don’t like having your grundies hanging out of your pants, then don’t do it. Easy.

I can’t understand it either, I am walking down the street and next thing you know, someone is showing me their crack, bad fashion for sure.

I am like Dermott, you can only wonder why they do it, why?

I think a lot of teen fashion comes about because they’re trying to challenge their parents. Most teen culture can be traced back to that, actually. In the fifties and sixties, going out without gloves was shocking. Now, showing your arse crack is shocking. Which makes me wonder (in horror!) what my daughter’s generation will think up to shock us in ten years time … :/

ah… if they want to look like an overweight tradesman, with the obligatory “arse hanging out of trousers” when they are out and about, good luck to them. of course, in canberra, there is the big risk of frostbite in winter. and no way would i be attracted to someone with a blackbutt from frostbite…

Hey Jonathon, the lyrics to that song was hilarious.
Some guy says… (Whoo!)
Buy a belt fool!
It’s not cool
To see your butt crack!
Well it sticks way out
Like a plumber’s “claim to fame”
Big old hairy dark crack
And he has no shame!
Too funny
