I’d definitely say it’s the other way around. You used to have to dress up, collar shirt required, hard bottoms required. Thug nggas didnt wanna do that. So it kept that ‘just flaunt and stunt’ crowd away
Then it became ok not hard bottoms, shoes and fashion is changing. Then it became ok you can pay extra to where what you want. Then it became ok if you got a table you can where what you want. Then the whole culture collectively thru away dress clothes which was perfect for the dope boys and here we are.
Granted, my heavy club years were early 00s, not 90s
