How exactly is it BS? The hip hop community's fashion is derived from gangs. This shouldn't be news to anyone, if you don't see it your blind. Not everyone that wears clothing made mainstream by hip hop is in a gang, more the exact opposite,but they are dressing that way. Whether they are white, black, hispanic, asian, native american, irish, scottish, polish, or jewish, if they are dressing the way many of America's youth are today, then they are dressing similar to gang members.
As long as that fact holds true, there will be dress codes in place that restrict that type of clothing. The dress codes aren't saying you can't wear what you want and show your fashionable expression, you just can't do it there. Express yourself within their guidelines when you want to go there. What I'm wearing right now would get turned away and I'm at work, so If I would want to go to P&L tonight I'd change, whereas I don't think gang members would be as quick to conform to their rules.
