Kids hating on being "thug"

I've noticed an influx of kids coming on NS and tearing apart some of the most legit skier's out there for wearing tall tees and acting thug.

First Off, There not really acting thug. There acting like there having fun. They like rap music, that doesnt make them thug. I like phish, and I dont have dreads and wear tye dye all the time. But back to them, theres a rap culture that anyone can subscribe to no matter what color your skin or where you from.

I see kids trying to act cool trying to hate on Henrik, Tom Etc saying there fake and shit, well first off they slay harder than you ever will. Which makes them pretty damn legit in my book, sure they like wearing big tees and adding a little dance to there style. I dont know how thats THUG though thats there style.

Also, we are skiers and we are all shaping our sport, and last I checked our sport is called Freeskiing, FREE being the keyword there. You know what these guys have in commmon with Rappers and nasty guys from the hood. They got style man. When there on skis there showing style and flow, just like some guy on a street corner throwing down rhymes with style and flow. So I say go ahead and wear tall tees and do what ya gotta do. These guys are for real, sure we might be far from the hood, although its not as far as you'd think.

So I'd have to say in conclusion, I'm pretty sick of kids acting like stuck up white rich kids ( oh wait ) and let these VERY Good Skilled Skiers do there thing.

if you dont like it look away, but none of you have the skill to back yourselves up, so dont call them up. I'm sick of reading this shit.

LATER.

Im partial to agree with this guy, although I am generally a supporter of no hate, and generally fall into the tyedye wearing hippy described in the original thread.

My first problem with tall ts and any other part of steeze that is simply over the line is that although it may be "in" at the time, it is not functional. If something isn't functional, then you must be trying pretty hard to impress somebody by wearing it. And i'm not gonna specify which styles are the worst, cause some have purposes, but nonetheless, you then start falling into the same category as high school girls. Whom I do have the same problem with generally; they care way too much what they're wearing, functionality and sometimes even actual appearance aside. That is my first problem.

Second has nothing to do with actual style but attitude. Someone above mentioned a correlation between clothing size and attitude. And, though I'm not a fan of stereotypes, I definitely can see this generalization at least some of the time. Which is where my second problem comes in, I cannot stand kids who honestly do think that they are "thug." They're not just wearing big clothes and bandanas, they act hard, say the n word lots, start shit with random people, etc. Cannot stand that. And those kids, wearing the same clothes as a lot of the rest of you, then spread that stereotype. And you can hate on that all you want, but everyone of you, especially the kids still in high school have sterotyped people on a regular basis for a long time.

As for Wallisch and Harlaut and them, i have heard good things about their attitude, but there are other skiers who I've heard quite the opposite about. They all shred, but if you dont have a good attitude, I dont care how good you are, you're still a tool.

Finally, I would like to point out that skiing in all liklihood looks ridiculous to anyone who is not in the scene. What are these kids trying to bring back the 80s? Outrageously bright colors, onepieces, etc.

So, my final point is that we all look ridiculous.

Much love.

Apologies for the double post, but this is the second very stupid post that I've seen from you today.
I refrained from commenting on the first one and gave you benefit of the doubt, but this is ridiculous.

"fuck tight pants you look like bitches that stole shit from your sister"

folowed by...

"dont hate or make generalizations about the style or the people who rep it"

Think before you speak. Or write for that matter. You're making yourself look like a jackass.

Before rippin my shit up i will clarify again. i was baked when i wrote the post, i get shit a little mixed up sometimes my bad. Regardless the "dont hate or make generalizations about the style or the people who rep it" was directed at how many think that skiiers who wear tall tees n baggy shit are trying to be thug or act hard or what have you, it isnt true for all. Now people who wear tight shit there is no specific ideology or lifestyle/stereotype they are going after that someone outside the style can pin them too, its just tight shit. Now i hate on tight pants just cuz i never looked at it as steezy or a likeable style realy but thats just my oppinion. saying "fuck tight pants you look like bitches that stole shit from your sister" was my way of expressing my dislike of the style and that makes me look like a jackass? maybe so, but to be honest i realy dont give a shit and you callin me out, then apologizing afterwords just cuz i agreed with you on somthing n gave you some karma? fuck that man, hate on. Rep what you want but you cant expect people not to hate cuz not everyone is gonna like the same shit.

cleared up enough
i dont really care all that much if you hate
but when you contradicted it like you did, it just comes off as hypocritical
nonetheless, rep what you want, no doubt

as for the apology, that was more because you seemed like a much more reasonable person in that post, and i dont really call people out unless they really seem like douches
i could care less about my karma

So what if your a white kid from some out west town and you steal and sell drugs and get really violent and aggressive with people for no reason?  Because I know tons of white suburban kids that do all those things.  I don't because I'm not a dick, although I did steal in highschool a lot but it was more of a psuedo-anarchist morality take-back-what-they-stole-from-us kindof thing. 

In fact, I just went to 7-11 a half hour ago for a burrito and some white kids straight jacked a 30 brick when I was standing outside smoking.  Just because your white and from the suburbs doesn't mean you can't be a an asshole or thug or whatever.

We also have some gangs (none of them are legit gangs except the one oldschool mexican one, but still, people claim gangs and shit and some fights get started and whatnot), I probably don't know anyone who has never stolen anything, and last year some kid I went to highschool with stabbed some other kid like 17 times or something ridiculous and then ran him over with a car.  Kid's dead.  Murder. White kids. Suburbs.  And where I am (out west), basically all of the ski resort towns are straight tweakerville so you know theres lots of stealing and such going on around there.

........I had a point but it got lost somewhere in this post.  I'm really high.  Anyway, white kids from the suburbs can be just as crazyl as black people from compton.  And especially this generation, kids are getting gnarley man.  My local AA is filled with 17 year old heroin addicts and shit.

...I think my point might have been that your rascist or something.

But yeah skiing and hip hop culture are like the two most totally random things to come together.

Apologies for the double post but men who wear tight pants do, in fact, look like they have acquired said pants from a lady.

And not hating or making generalizations about any style is clearly the path of righteousness, and if everyone did it, the earth would be one step closer to universal peace and harmony.
