"Rap Influenced Clothing?"

Is it because of American Rappers that people put their hoods on and wear hoodies? I seen 2 kids hanging around near some closed shops at 12 midnight with their hoodies on but i get the message they think they are hard but they look ridiculous we should be wearing NORMAL clothes not what American Rappers wear and they wonder why they get in trouble!
I just have the feeling some of our English culture is getting Americanised!

one question: was it raining? :)

and British culture IS becoming Americanized, it was inevitable... :(

I wear a thick silver chain which is sort of americany-rap style-ish.

There is no generic norm of clothing.

Inner city kids between 12-17 wear hoodys and baggy trousers and go "Lootin" on weekends. It is NORMAL for them. However if you move out into the country, wellies and a side cap may be the norm there.

You never cease to humour me!

Hoodies dont look bad with the hood down, it's just like a normal jumper.

Just that they say why they get picked on more by the police because they wear their hoods on :S
They could wear their hooddies without having the hoods on.. and looking less silly.

Yes those 'goths' look very crazy... all that damn black.

Hey don't complain, it's a nice sight when you walk past the Cathouse on a Friday or Saturday night.


I do agree with Sniper in the fact that most of the people who dress like rappers look stupid. But it is their prerogative.

The kids down at the park like to stroke the soft fur.

It makes me emit animal noises.

Admit it - it's a kiddy's dress up set.

Although if you're not bluffing there's a pretty impressive rabbit near where I live, some of might still be retrievable.
