"skater" style or as I have branded them "Generation Bag-Ass", has taken a bold move in their head dress. Gone are the days of rounding the brim of your ball cap to that perfect arc that offers shade at all angles as well as protection from rain, snow and sleat. In, is the "I just bought it on the way to school" look that is 2 sizes too large, a dead straight brim, 45 degree twist, and even leaves the tags and stickers on the it? When did this style arrive? How did it come about? I took some time and looked around online to see where it all started and guess who I found? You got it Fitty (50) Cent! Man, that guy barks at white guys, screams that he's always being picked on my the man and who do all the little white wannabes copy, yup Fitty! When did the youth of today throw this personal choice of style out the window and welcome in this bag-ass, I shot the Gansta look? I just don't get it. All the kids want is to standout and be different so they wear the exact same thing? In
a generation where originality and uniqueness has been replaced with cookie cutter clones that act more as billboards than actual clothing styles; I can't even tell the kids apart! I recently had trouble telling if a student was a boy or a girl because of the droop-ass, 5950 New Era straight brim hat, DC tee-shirt wearing kid looked just like the 4 others sitting in the row. How am I supposed to know that Kris is a girl and not a boy? Is that Jon or Riley or Brady or Coey or Julie? Seriously with the goofy names that parents give their kids now a days that look more like typos than surnames it' bloody hard to tell. Then there are the "Lulu Lemon Yoga Girls" that can't tell the difference between "downward dog" or "walking the dog"...Wait, that's another blog.
