What does the peace sign upside down mean?

[slackerinabox]

It looks kinda like an A. My roommates were watching MTV and all the rappers were doing it...

Gang affiliation of some sort, or else regional/geographical solidarity. Which rappers?

A-Town son! It stands for Atlanta I believe, correct me if I'm wrong?

During a live performance of Kanye West at some punk's birthday party (on MTV's Sweet Sixteen) the kids in the audience were doing it. Then on the next show, some show about 3 6 mafia, they did it too.

Looked more like the lower part of a K than an A.

3 6 mafia. They're from georgia aren't they? Which is in atlanta. It's most likely that.

Memphis, TN, actually.

edit: where 3 6 mafia is from, don't know about the sign.

Kanye was born in Atlanta. Three 6 are from Memphis but could have been doing the same thing for whatever reason.

I'm still trying to figure out the difference between bloods and crips other than their favorite colors differ (red and blue respectively).

Thanks, another mystery solved due to ATOT!

 

[Whisper]

From what I know, it started with the whole "peace up, A-town down" deal. So yeah, it generally stands for Atlanta, and almost everyone I know from there--myself included--does it in some capacity or another (even if it's just as a joke).

I thought you meant this when you mentioned it looked like an A.
