No you're not behind the times...that fashion died out in about 1998 I'd say. It's for people who are way behind the times...chances are those same guys are into meth as well. That was the drug of choice with the ankle shorts and pant legs that could fit two people in them.
Or they're trying to follow a hip-hop culture that has since abandoned that kind of obsurdity.
There's an "urban" clothing store here that has clothes that are so completely ridiculous It's beyond words. The smallest clothing size they sell is XL which looks more like an XXXXl. Their shirts are cut extra long so they sit at about your knees or below...and they come in completely garish colors and patterns. One shirt is the pattern that you see during Mardis Gras or Carnival where it's a bunch of blue, yellow, red, and purple diamond shapes interlaced. Then they had ankle shorts which were bright solid green, yellow red or blue. Together the whole setup makes you look exactly like a clown. They tend to keep their stock for a really long time...like two years or more. I'm sure some of the clothes they have in there they had in stock when it was actually somewhat in style.
I'm not proud to say it but around '97 or so I wore those kind of shorts...But in my defence I was 13, young, naeive, and desperatley seeking attention from the kids I thought were cool.
But like someone said before dazzle shorts that sit at, or slightly above, the knee are what's in fashion right now...or loose sweatpants that are kind of like pajama pants but for yoga.
