    I think the sloppy trends you refer to are hip-hop (rap music influenced) style. I don’t see anything wrong with expressing yourself and identifying with a group you feel good about. So the hip-hop style is unattractive to you … so what? Many people have different styles, and I prefer a world where there are many types of people interested in many different things to a world where we all have the same lame haircut, tight slacks and dress-shirts. The comments that others have made about hip-hop style being indicative of social degradation are assinine. Particularly today, when hip-hop culture is such a money machine, there are many people who rock the ‘sloppy style’ that make more money than you or I could imagine (Russell Simmons, Sean Combs and the designers of FUBU wear, to name a few). If the style is unattractive to you, don’t wear it yourself; otherwise let, people live.
