How is acting "gangsta" considered cool?

So its considered cool to say "yo", "homie", andthe N wordevery other word, wear a rag on your head, wear a crooked hat on top of that, wear pants falling off your butt, a shirt thats big enough to keep 10 people warm, and say things like "I iz da man G skillet".

Is that still considered cool? Most people here in the UK don't act like that anymore....

Style, culture, trends, fashion, rebellion. Is it cooler to wear kaki shorts, a Halo t-shirt and Birkenstocks?

Sheesh, you sound like an old man berating Elvis for "his long hair and dem fancy leg moves that get all the girls in a tissy."

I don't know if I should laugh or be offended by that. I know you're talkng about Black people saying we sound ignorant blah, blah, blah but if thats how someone chooses to talk or dress then no offense or anything but its really none of your business. Those words like yo and homie are slang, a way of communication like how someone might use dude. And if u don't like the way certain people talk then just ignore it.

Letme make this clear e-arguments get no where and I don't wanna start 1 but I heard other posters do something like this and thats who they were referring to

It's not considered cool, but it's a style. Like some people who only worship classic rock. That gets old also.Godly_Cure

So what? Classic Rock songs actually had some meaning, not people bragging about money, drugs, and violence.

Now you're generalizing. Not all classic rock songs had wonderful meanings: just as not all songs of other genres are about money, drugs, and violence.:|

Nah, he wasn't referring specifically to black people, but you assumed he did. Let's not blame him for stereotyping when you're the only one that did it.

Dressing like that is cool here in Chicago. It makes people look stupid and shabby.

I'm mature enough to admit that I was wrong and I didn't mean to stereotype. And to answer the TC's question just ignore it

Ok you got it all wrong....those people are called wannabes, and what you described is more like the black hip hop style. not gangsters. (and im not racist or anything).

Do you like onions? If so, have you ever met anyone who doesn't like onions? There's your answer. Do you hate the color pink? Ever met someone who likes the color pink? There's your answer.

How is acting gangsta considered cool when you yourself do not find it cool? Because not everyone is like you.

sad thing is though, a lot of people adopt trends just to be "cool" and not because they want to be themselves.

Why limit your rant to just one culture? All fads are silly. That includes the wearing of classic rock band t-shirts.

I've expressed my dislike for emos and gothics aswell.I think people need to act like people and not freaks.And whats wrong with a classic rock t-shirt if it fits?

A fad is a fad. Just because it's one that appeals to you does not make it more acceptable. Either accept that other people have a right to wear what they want....or don't follow fads yourself.

So you are saying that people should all dress the same and act the same? People are going to act, dress and basically do whatever they want to try and be different, granted some people do it because they want to be part of the crowd but others do it to be different. Why does this bother you so much? Does anyone try to push this style on you and make you act like them? If you don't like certain fads then ignore it, you're not going to change the world with this thread so just let it go.
