I love the thugs that wear their brand new ball caps with the brim flat as a desk. Seriously, it doesnt look good.

where are your options for "i dont care how people look and dress as long as they feel comfortable?"

thats the one i would pick. if the way other people dress really bothers you, you probably have some very serious insecurity issues, and probably are those types of people who constantly put down people when they are different than you are.

you forgot to mention leaving the hologram logo underneath the bill. i wear my hats that way, but in my defense, ive been doing it since i was a kid (goes back to my little league days). im convinced everyone copied me. in the immortal words of michael bolton: "why should i change? he's the one who sucks!".

edit: btw, thats as close as i get to the genre. i dont wear throwback jersey's or fake ice watches or anything like that. i just like wearing hats/beanies.

Personally I am tired of the whole overrated "thug" fad. Who the f^ck really thinks acting like a degenerate of society and scowling all of the time is cool? Most of the so-called thugs are wannabes anyway which makes even more of a mockery of the thing. As much as I like rap I am getting tired of the constant aspirations of "thugdom" and the example it sets for their young listeners. Of course these days every race claims their share of thugs of which, as I mentioned, very few are.

Equally sickening are the women who fawn over self proclaimed thugs and are attracted to the presumed lifestyle. If your man beats your ass, cheats on your or in general treats you like sh!t too bad you idiot it's what you wanted! Enjoy it because that is what your thug-boy wannabe is all about.

Lastly, I would like to see how many of these "hardcore" gangsta boys would dive on a grenade for their comrades or storm a machine gun nest with artillery shells exploding on them. Damn near none I am sure. There are plenty of hardened soldiers but a whole lot of pretenders claiming to be thugs who think they are billy bad ass because they wear baggy jeans, pick on defenseless people and play with a gun. Looooooooosers.

I would agree to the extent that the reason I don't like people who dress like thugs is because the majority of the ones I've seen/met act/talk/think a certain way that I don't like.

It's entirely possible that someone could dress like a thug and be a smart, driven, hard-working person, with good morals, who doesn't swear.
