Because you are other people. It's not that hard of a concept. I could explain my thinking on this in fine detail.. but well, it doesn't feel like the right time or place.

they liek the culture, why do some peope lchange religions? I think its stupid to judge like that. I listen to some rap, so what, some is good music. I dress prep but also like to wear some "black clothes" once in awhile. Let people be.

I don't get it either....I guess it's because they're black inside and their inner thug is being expressed through doo-rags, huge clothes, and shit-talking. Hopefully it's just a phase and they'll realize that it really isn't that cool to try to mimic other cultures.

What it comes down to, is the opportunity to "fit in" that street-culture offers. Kids typically don't know who the fuck they are, and will try desperate measures to soothe their heads at night into thinking others accept them for "who they are" or more so "who they are percieved to be". The culture that's being represented is extremely accessible, as it extends through all class levels (be it poverty or money coming out of your asshole), everyone wants to call themselves a gangsta, but only if there's others that feel the same way.

I've put myself into the position of the people that do it and just realized the true reason. Everybody's doing it, it's the cool thing!

Let's ask Tanner! I was confused about this matter as well and sent a letter that's in this month's POWDER, but I really did not get much of a response, I don't think the editor even got my point.
