View of Caucasian male, about 18-25 yrs. old, from the back with his boxer shorts sticking out of the top of his pants.
A young or teen aged Caucasian male is standing with his back to the camera. He looks like he is anywhere between 15 and 25 years old. He is dress like many of his peers now with a gray sweatshirt and cargo pants. Most notable are his boxer shorts, the top of which can be seen because he is wearing his pants down low on his hips.

Whether this kind of showing one's buttocks has any relation to sagging is unclear. Some areas have begun to outlaw this style recently (2011). Apparently the objection is the amount of underwear shown.
