I’m looking forward to 10 year old White boys doing this in broad daylight, and seeing Twitter flip their shit 🍿

It hasn’t been a notorious gang sign since the early 2000s. It was already main stream with white kids doing it over 20 years ago.

I see OP in their comment history uses “tyres” so they’re probably not from the US.

C-Walking has been a prominent fad in the US, more so in the early 2000s than recently, but most people are familiar with it.

I don’t understand the context of this post, but there’s not much here of note if you grew up in the US and made it past late teenager.

At this point, Snoop is inevitable.

Q: How does Snoop answer the phone?

A: I’ll make the song.

Could you elaborate on the Tencent part? I understand they have a large stake, but why is it their collab and not Epic’s?

I think when kids will start doing it in public, the original symbol will lose its significance.

Are you all too young to remember this already being a thing middle class white kids were already doing a couple decades ago?

Can confirm, I remember my middle school classmates doing the crip walk and the hand signs back in the early 2000s.

Yeah, the crip walk and then the “blood” sign with their hands. Both.

Lol, it’s a freakin’ “dance step”. “Notorious gang sign”, only to the tiny world of gang morons. The rest of us 350 million in the US, and the other 4 billion outside the US have no idea.

Tempest in a teapot.
