"Tory leader David Cameron will call for greater understanding of teenage “hoodies”, saying that they are trying to "blend in" rather than appear threatening. "

I think that the above quote from the BBC News site is absolute ****!


I know that I'm old but in my experience, the large majority of people wearing hoodies (up) do so because they don't want to be identified; obviously, if it's pouring with rain etc, it's common sense.

I think that we all know the groups of youngsters who do this "hoodie" thing are wanting to look intimidating and really are likely to be up to no good.

Not everyone who wears a hoodie is a wannabe gangsta, but IMO most are.


I'm not looking to start a youngsters V oldies war here but I want to know why anyone who is not a wannabe gangsta or gang member would wear one (especially with hood up) knowing that most people have that stereotypical opinion (bad) .....?
 
ive got quite a few hoodies, and the hood is only ever up when its raining or cold, or when im walking through a rough area late at night
 
I just think, when they have the hood up, the look on their faces is damn hilarious.

It's the whole "I'm pulling this face, 'cause I want to feel special. Hold me", look.

Well, you'll often get a different type of thread in GD to SC, and a lot of people don't seem to like, or go to, SC.

I wasn't suggesting this was a duplicate, Singist ..... just that anyone commenting might also be interested in the SC thread. :)

Personally, I see no need to delete it, and that wasn't what I meant. It's valid here, too.
 
I assume by the OMG HOODIE SCUMZ view, these people are talking about the oiks who wander around with the hoods almost exclusively up, right?

Because hoodies are also by far the most popular 'it's a bit cold' option for skateboarders, bmxers, mountainbikers, motocrossers, surfers.. in fact so many people wear hoodies, I'd even go so far as to say at least half of the people who wear hooded tops aren't even remotely like the people they use the word hoodie to describe.
 
Camaroon (sic) was doing so well, he actually managed to come up with two good policies in one week, national service and a new bill of rights to replace the Human Rights Act. Great ideas but this...sigh..is just pandering to the 'yoof' and the liberals.

Young people wear hoodies because they are sheep and want to be different just like all their mates. Of course the main reason is because they want to mug old ladies, steal from shops and because normal people don't like them.

Ban 'em and ban Camaroon.
 
I wear hoodies but never with the hood up for some reason... They are just comfy and warm. And are a good alternative to a full blown coat.
Although in the computer shop where i work we get a lot of people trying to steal with their hoods up. makes no difference since our CCTV still clearly shows their face. Idiots.
 
I have 15 hoodies and only wear 'em hood up with a gat in ma pants.

In all seriousness the only time I wear my hood up other than when its raining or cold is when i'm walking through somewhere like elephant and castle or kings cross at night.
 
Yeah, Us southerners :rolleyes:
Does anybody where a baseball cap with a hood over the top? I don't but I was just wondering why somebody would do that? unless their head gets REALLY cold.
 
Baseball caps should be banned as well. Unless you are playing baeball, which we don't, so there is no need.

I seriously view anyone with a baseball cap as a moron, I can't help it now because I have seen so many morons wear them.
