Revisiting this thread and all...
I don't know why Southern bruhs got all upset
everybody including fellow southerners have said it themselves that they can't dress for shyt
.
We kicked off the Black cultural style awareness in regards to clothing and sneaker culture and then Black ppl everywhere else either mimicked NY style or eventually created styles based on their local influences that many wear today
.
Same thing happened with Hip-Hop, intellectual influences, among other things
Black ppl from NY are originators and first to set the trends of a lot of things our communities cherish and champion.
That's not saying Black folks from other regions and such haven't done so as well, because you have but TheColi be trying act like NY influences “came and went” no longer relevant/obsolete or little of importance. A lot of it may not be on forefront today in the media but we're still relevant from a originator perspective.
