whateverrrr Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 before i drift away to sleep, i have a burning question that I'm hoping you fine, fine people will be able to answer. how the fuck did rat tails become hip? it's like everytime i fucking go to Wicker Park I see like 3452432 dudes with rat tails. I even some one that had it in a BUN. &then on the last day of my film class one of my acquaintances had one. there is even a blog called Rat Tail Dreams. http://rattaildreams.blogspot.com/2008/08/10-tails-1-post.html I think they're disgusting & trashy. I'm talking both about hipsters & rat tails. Am I the only one who thinks this is gross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whateverrrr Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Around my hometown hip wouldn't be the word used to describe rat tails lol. exactly! the kids i knew who had rat tails growing up, were straight up from the white ghetto and/or creepy trailer parks.

dcstrange87 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I know haha. So are these like hipster dbags with the rat tail? What's next bring back the Nike logo shaved into the side of your head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controlthebleeding Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 i know they were popular in the early 80's before it migrated into a mullet... i never thought they'd be popular again.. much like parachute pants and kaepa's! i remember seeing guys with tails about a couple feet in length.. quite trashy if you ask me...

whateverrrr Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 i think they're trashy too. my friends roommate is this ridiculously hip dude and his rat tail was the first one I'd seen since 1994, and he like pulls it into a pony tail or a bun and its really ... the opposite of everything good.

whateverrrr Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Remember duck tails?Those were even worse. that is apparently a "portland style duck tail" according to the Rat Tail blog. i think maybe that is the thing the dude in my class got. it was skinnier though. OH, he is from portland too! all the pieces of coming together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcstrange87 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Sometimes when I see parents walking around with their children sporting rat tails I just want to go up and ask them...Why?... I just want to hear their reasoning behind it, like what type of fashion style are they aiming for here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew13 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 i've seen a lot around here, but not really much of an increase. it's a trash area and it's popular with white trash. noone like 16-25 that isn't white trash that i've seen has had one, so thankfully that trend hasn't hit here yet.
