Ok...Deltadevil...about how old are you? In your 20s?
It's common that guys your age (heck most ages really) will do what they can to "fit in" or "keep up". That's just natural.
BUT...at a certain point you come to realize that you have to change your game if you want a certain type of company to be around you.
If you want ebtter jobs and a better lifestyle, then you eventually have to switch up what you are doing to get those things.
I eman if you wanna wear your Tims and your saggy off the ass pant's...that's fine ...as long as you realize you are what you attract.
Another thing you will eventaully realize, as so many of us do when we enter 'real life' working world, some of those labels and shyte like that eventally play out and you have to start growing up and dressing FOR YOU and not so much to impress everyone else.
It's nothing wrong with looking nice but by God, please be able to recoginze when to leave the 'thug' at home!
I look at some of you youngins out here now and wonder why some of you can't do somethign so simple AS pull the pants up? LOL
And the jewelry thing...maybe it's a regional thing now as most people here in my area don't floss and flash the gold like they did back in the 90's but there is a way to be subtle about it without being obnoxious with it because I SWEAR it was nothing worse than seeing someone with more gold in thier mouth than change in their and $1000 worth of clothing on, still catching the bus.

A good percentage of the dudes in the hood flashing the jewelry are broke and have fake/cheap jewelry or are drug dealers so they are ignant, in general. A byproduct of fatherless homes.
My nephews wear trendy clothes but their parents don't let them come out the house looking like a hoodlums. No drowning in their clothes, baseball caps aren't allowed at school anyway, and no tacky jewelry. Black people don't have to "own" every community phenomenon.
