There is some debate about he meaning of sagging baggy pants, but the origin of the style is the same in all accounts: prison culture.

The facts are that in the mid 1990's, hip hop and rap artists began to affect the style. Inmates in many prisons were issued one size fits all pants and no belts, thus causing a baggy appearance and sagging. This has translated into a statement (that being of the inmate's sexual orientation and availability). Why this style was affected is of equal conjecture as the origin, however, it can be surmised by the swagger that was adopted early on in the adoption of the trend, that it transmitted an image of toughness, perhaps an affiliation with gang culture.
