I would suppose that if you come back to the states now and then, and you've
been in Japan for 5 years or more, you'll be suprised that a lot of kids
here are wearing their pants almost down to their knees; kinda like they are
showing off their underwear or something. I think it started with the
african-americans doing it and then the mainstream wanted to do it. I think
both cultures have their silly things though. I mean, that high-heal fad
that the Japanese girls went through was kinda funny and that really dark
green highliner and stuff.
