Teenagers who listen to the same music often have a common look. One hot style in music and fashion is hip-hop. Hip—hop is a type of urban music with a heavy beat. Typical (典型的) hip-hop fashions are loose-fitting street clothes. The style includes baggy (宽松的) pants, sweatshirts, hiking boots, baseball caps (usually worn backward), jackets with sports logos, and expensive athletic shoes. In the hip-hop style, boys and girls often dress the same way.
African-American kids in Detroit and Chicago first made hip-hop fashions trendy (时髦的) more than 20 years ago. They wore baggy street clothes to dance in clubs. Then North American and European bands also began wearing like this. Thanks to the popularity of music videos and films, hip-hop soon became an International fashion.
Teens around the world, from Britain to South Africa to Japan, now wear hip-hop clothing. Seventeen-year-old Melanie Borrow, from Manchester, England, said, "My pride and joy in life are my Levi's jeans." In the United States, teens spend a lot of money on hip-hop fashions. David Bowen, 17, from Evanston, Illinois, has five pairs of hiking boots, each costing around S 100. David said. "They are popular because a lot of hip-hop performers wear them."
