Which aren't exactly a 1:1. They overlap, but are still distinct circles.

I said that his fashionable expression is derived from Hip Hop culture.
How does that equate to all of Hip Hop let alone Black culture?
Why does such a distinction need to be made?
Larry Johnson or the guy two doors down... This form of fashionable expression is absolutely derived from Hip Hop culture. That can't even be argued.
And again, if you think the outfit is hideous you're entitled...
But I'm certain you own something that he'd think was hideous.
It's a matter of taste.
Can we get past that?

Like I said, not trying to be argumentative, it just seems you have a different take on the subject. The woman thing was just meant as an example, not something I thought you had done.
My point is that just because he is a part of hip hop culture as you call it, does not mean that this outfit doesn't represent some disconnect he has with that culture. Maybe he doesn't quite pull it off because he's not as closely connected to hip hop as he'd like to be. Maybe he's a part of that culture, but his own individuality clashes with it as well?
