oh tom... were i not in excruciating pain from having my wisdom teeth ripped out of my face this morning, i'd argue that cowboy boots - much like large clocks - do not belong to a particular culture genre - but are more like memes that may be adopted by anyone.

however, given that i am in excruciating pain, i'm going to hunt down some vicodin.

mmmm, candy corn...(*sound of homer drooling*) - but I digress...
Hip hop people cannot sport cowboy boots or even anything vaguely resembling them. This is a well known and established fact. The shitkickers will just jump right off their feet and kick them in their crotch/ass for trying it. You have to SING (and I mean sing, not rap) either country OR western to wear cowboy boots. Otherwise you are just an idiot trying to look fashion-trendy by wearing footwear that saw its heyday in the late 1800's. Don't get me wrong, the cowboy boot is great. It is venerable piece of footwear that should be limited to those that can appreciate their comfort and not care how out of style they look.

EDIT: ANNNDDD speaking of predicting the future, i'm also doing pretty well so far with my 2009 predictions from last year:

cowboy boot styles have actually been embraced by urban fashion (SouthPole has a ton of hip hop cowboy boot looking shoes out). brazilian food is really popular as trendy dining goes. and supervillains have been all the rage lately - just look at Marvel's Dark Reign, Joker getting an academy award, and tons more.

As of present all of Europe seems to be aflame in haremity. I blame the French, Dov Charney, and all the other usual suspects.

Also - I think a lot of U.S. tourists are picking up on it this month as they see others rocking them around the islands. Prepare for a hammer pants invasion later this month when they return.

If you only saw them in Greece, then it's probably just a Eurotrash thing. I haven't seen it here yet, but then again Chicago's always a little bit behind on the trends.
