What happened to the intimidating looking thug?

[doublejs07]

My girl asked me this today in the mall....I really don't know the answer. With the fad of too-small, spandex-tight jeans, rhinestone studded belts,smedium shirts, vans, etc...thugs just ain't what they were. Dudes were trying their best to look hard, but it just wasn't working. I guess thedipset is at fault.

 

[misterp0315]

It's still around.

I still see dudes with tall tees and saggy everything. I think the new intimidating look is "locks". No offense to anybody...

 

[rellnye]

Can't carry a glock in your sisters jeans.

The grimy looking thugs are still around just gotta look. It's like where's waldo?

 

[knowledgebones72]

Whenever I watch modern Asian gangster/martial arts movies, i just think to myself "damn, i just saw this guy kill 10 people with his bare hands, but hestill looks like a complete flake."

 

[geminifly]

Not everybody is dressing like DipSet. When Im in the hood I still see dudes with big/tall tees, shorts down to their ankles,
dreds, golds, tats and everything else that people consider intimidating. Don't think that cuz a few dudes is wearing studs
on their belt that it's the national trend or something. As I said before in previous threads, some of the Yardies be having
on the tightest Buffalo jeans your ever seen, but will clap you down with the quickness if there's problems. Clothes don't
make the man, believe that.

All the real Gs of my day are Dead,locked up, or finally made it. These lil goons in the streets now are not intimidating.

I think dreads are just fashion now, not intimidating. I've been growing mine since I was 8 years old, because I was scared of my barber

I'm not with the dyed tips though, and I don't keep em for the fashion aspect, I just hate haircuts.

I hate that stereotype. I have dreads and people are surprised when I speak well and get good grades. My basketball coach basically tried to call me a"thug".

Yeah people still wear the old stuff here (Philly). MisterP, didn't you retire from NT?

Anyone who tries to look like an "intimidating thug" is most likely a clown anyways.

People don't try generally. Saying someone looks like an intimidating thug is just code talk for I'm scared of you because you'reblack/Latino, but I don't want to admit it that way. If tommorow, all black people started wearing tutus and pink diapers, they'd still get followedaround in stores, dodged on the streets, people dial 9-1-1 then hold the send button, the same typical they get now and if confronted the people doing it wouldsay, "No, it's not because you're black, it's because you're dressed like a thug."

Thugs "wear" black or almond (Latino) skin.
