I'm a parent of a teen girl. She doesn't wear low riders.
However, I have a horrible time buying her clothes now that regular or even hip hugger jeans aren't popular.
You say we aren't talking mini skirt... A walk into the school to pick up my daughter for an appointment and I'm blasted with cootchie! The skirts are now so short they can't stand, let alone sit, without showing undies.
Funny thing. The other day she was laughing about one of her male friends that actually asked if the pants he was wearing made him look fat. He's not gay and he's not fat. The BOYS are now wearing the girls low riders as part of the emo fashion scene.
