"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) .....?

shut your mouth you talk ****

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.

mohinder is right i ordered another hoodie the other day not to be noticed, but because there comfy and look good with everything else i wear.

I've worked out that when I was 14 I dressed like this -

When Singist was 14 he dressed like this -

I think we got it right.

ive got quite a few hoodies, and the hood is only ever up when walking through a rough area late at night

You wan't your hood down if your doing that mate. If/when you get chav's trying to jump out on you etc, you would want to see them...

I think hoodies are a bad thing, they look crap anyway - anyone who wears them in dry weather is obviously butt ugly and is trying to hide their face, or they are up to no good.

About a year later I'd got big flares with laces up the side, baseball boots, tie dyed shirts and long corkscrew hair like Marc Bolan.
Oh yeah.

hands up the poor little pathetic nerds who have been bullied by someone in a hoody and are now making up stupid generalisations about people who wear them..

I think that people should be able to wear what they want, when they want. Just because they wear hoodies up or/and with baseball caps, doesn't mean that they are going to mug/stab/rape you. Thats called prejudice. People are who you take them for not for what they wear.
Just my opinion

Well AJUK has already mentioned them "terrorising" him, which they would continue to do regardless of what they are wearing. Probably even more so if the hoodies they love so much get banned. Yet normal people like me, hoMohinder, Neon etc. that wear them will also get penalised for doing absolutely nothing wrong.

Maybe you should learn to read and you would see that I posted a couple of times saying " not everyone who wears a hoodie " etc

Then maybe you should learn some manners.

i dont show manners to people who think people in hoodies are gangsters, and start generalising about them. people who post thread like this dont reserve my respect ,sorry.
