I wear a lot of hip hop gear. It's a comfort thing and a hip hop style necessity, in my experience. For me, it is a rebellion thing against the uptight, neat preppy look (Ambercrombie, American Eagle) that hip hoppers often clash against, at least at times, in the school system. Lastly, hip hop clothing seems to market to large sizes, since some rappers have to or did need those sizes (e.g. Fat Joe, Biggie) and those who emulate the style need it in that way, e.g. basketball or football players.

First, I don't think there is a term, and I am more actively involved in hip hop than my black friends who listen to rap/hip hop. Second, there is a distinction that few people know and is best described by the following quote that intellectual rapper KRS-ONE said: 'Rap is something you do, Hip Hop is something you live.' Rap is one wing of music like soul and R&B, but in my experience, after writing my junior theme, Hip Hop includes the music, various rapper clothing lines e.g. Roca-Wear (Jay Z), Johnny Blaze (Method Man), the various Hip Hop lines, handshakes, etc. They all are under the realm of Hip Hop.

Back to your question, there is no one term, but you could ask a kid, 'Do you live the Hip Hop lifestyle?' The term 'Hip Hoppers' isn't ill enough to call it our own. I own more than 400 Hip Hop cds, have professionally deejayed and own many Hip Hop items e.g. dvds. Last, the greatest thing about Hip Hop in my experience is that no longer is there a response like, 'You're white and you listen to Hip Hop? What the f**k?' This is because of the successful entrance of Eminem, eliminating the stigma of the days of Vanilla Ice, and there are certainly no different words for the culture between the races, in my opinon. Hip Hop is open to anyone from any racial and economic background.

I think that whether a person finds someone else attractive in a certain age group above or below them is dependent on their own personal idea of what they find attractive. Personally, I have found women from my ballpark to even early 30's? attractive and surprisingly I'll add that it happens vice versa about me. What makes a difference I suppose is how the person chooses to present themselves as their age progresses. Like the old line goes: 'Dress to Impress', you never know!
