Gotta love that prison-yard-inspired ghetto couture. Those guys know that you don't get a second chance to make a first impression. But, seriously, the 'thug ethos' that some people take as a rebellious move against the dominant social group is retarded, i.e., it's self-defeating: it only spreads and reinforces the severest kinds of inner-city stereotypes. Subsequently, it poses no threat to the US hegemonic order.
