Wearing your pants below your waist. It originally meant you were gay in prison (much research into finding and confirming that) but somehow became fashionable. It did not originally mean anything about a gang, which is an extremely common misconception. There is nothing cool about wearing your pants low.

When you wear your pants with a belt and them shits still drop below you ass cheeks and expose your undies. So far the only reported way of prison inmates advertising themselves for sex and extremely common among homosexuals outside of the prison system.
Person 1: why do people wear belts but go on sagging their pants?
Person 2: same reason women bring a purse on a date and dont pay
Person1: I'm lost
Person 2: they're getting fucked later

Hip-hop and gangster cultural fashion: Wearing one's pants below the level of the waist, sometimes below the level of the buttocks, with one's boxer shorts showing. The style may date back to around 1989.
The origin of this originally young, urban, black style is unknown. A commonly accepted origin theory was that is was an outgrowth of prisons, where inmates' clothing was often too large and sometimes no belts were allowed.
It may be related to skateboard/snowboard fashion.
At least one scholar thinks there is a tie-in with African culture.
There is also some evidence that a male showing his underwear-covered buttocks in prison was, at one point, linked to a desire for sex, or a mark that a prisoner was "owned" by another prisoner, sexually. 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.

He was sagging, hitching up his pants, shuffling down the street, with a swagger. He was really busting a major sag.

wearing ones pants below the waist to make pants baggier. This is seen as a "cool" way to wear pants, as seen by the number of rappers, skaters, rock stars, etc. that wear them. Usually a belt is not worn to reinforce sagging.
