Exactly! I am black and I have no idea what the OP is talking about.  I have two teen boys.  Maybe she is confusing urban fashion with black teen boy's fashion.   Neither of my teens are into urban fashion.  My oldest teen wears exclusively Ralph Lauren Polo and some high end brands.  My youngest teen has that Lenny Kravitz, rock, and hippie look. One dresses like he is modeling for Fashion Week in Paris and the other dresses like he is at Woodstock.

The one thing that I am definitely not confused about is that DCUM never disappoints with its absurdity, veiled racism, and ignorance.

After reading some of the posts here, it occurred to me that many white people associate urban culture with black culture.  They attribute urban fashion with blackness.  These closed minds assume that black teens are monolithic.

OP and her counterparts, thanks for the daily dose of stereotyping black people especially our adolescents.  I am baffled, but I am not surprised.  Clearly, OP does not realize that the African Diaspora is extremely diverse and that goes for fashion. Sigh!

Black teen fashion really? :roll:[/quote]
