Just went to Wal Mart, that's why it's fresh on the mind. Why do people think it's cool to keep the tags on their clothes?

So when they steal hats it doesn't look out of the ordinary.

While I agree that it is stupid and horrid looking, you have to admit that for some it really is the style. Maybe not the style of a Paris runway, but it certainly is the style of the streets.

It isn't, unless you're black. Seriosuly, I've never seen anyone who wasn't black do this. I don't think I fully get black culture though, so I have no idea what makes it cool.

Finally someone says it. Only blacks and wannabees of other races do this.

Also explains why you see so many of these people at Wal-Mart, no receipt necessary to return items.

Here's the history of people wearing clothing with tags:

Once upon a time, some idiot left the tags on his clothing. 500 people saw that idiot. 498 of those people said, "what a fvcktard." The other 2 said, "Wow, that's really cool. I wanna be cool like him." At this point, there were 3 idiots running around with tags on their clothes. And, it continued from there.

Actually, if I remember correctly from my childhood, wasn't there a lady on the redneck hick tv show - Hee Haw who had a tag on her hat?

I actaully don't mind them...it helps to identify the stoopid people and save me the time i may have spent associating with them...

So they can verify that it's under $25 when they're stealing it from Wal-Mart ;)

I just saw the absolute height of stupidity. I ran to the post office and on the way i saw a kid with not only the stickers still on his hat but he also had the giant plastic security tag still on it as well. Like the one they demagnetize with the machine at the register. If this becomes a style i want off this planet. I really wish i took a picture of that idiot.

I think that when I was aware of said trend well over a decade ago, it had something to do with how much money you spent on it, and the tags displayed it for all to see... along with your expensive Starter jacket (frequently featuring the Raiders) and Air Jordans...
